Krista is an absolute gem! As a first time mom, her help was truly appreciated and I couldn’t have done it without her! She taught me how to baby wear, how to latch my baby properly, she also provided me with a ton of resources for me and baby, she did my groceries, dishes, helped me with food prep, tidied my house, sanitized my pump parts and baby’s bottles and so much more! I cannot explain how much she helped (and continues to help) me.

My baby is now 5 months and we still work with Krista! During this post partum period, Krista would also put the baby to sleep and take care of her while I sleep or cook or have dinner with my husband. Krista has seen my baby since she was one day old and continues to see her grow. Krista is part of our little family.

My baby is a Velcro baby who also only sleeps if she’s being held so it’s incredibly hard to get anything done so having Krista’s help truly have helped me have a little bit of sanity and much needed break to do the smallest task such as taking a shower or eating or cooking etc.

I highly recommend working with Krista! She is such a gentle and sweet soul. She’s super nice, understanding and always ready to help. We love Krista and we look forward to continue working with her! ??

Krista was great with our 10 month old and 3 year old! We felt at ease going out for a night and leaving her to do bedtime. It is so hard to find someone you feel comfortable leaving the bedtime routine with and she killed it! Thanks for letting us enjoy our date nights!
