As a mom of two young ones, one being autistic, I know the difficulty of being a parent with unique challenges. Each of us have them. I'm a believer in post partum parents being prioritized by a caretaker. Need a shower? I'll hold the colicky baby. Rest? I'll cuddle your babe. Food? Do you like cookies? I'm here for you. I will certainly love your child as my own, but you need someone looking out for you too. I'll be that gal.
