I cannot speak highly enough of Kennedy, who worked with our newborn son from the time he was 3 months old until he reached 4 months. She also has previously worked with us babysitting our toddler, so we've grown quite comfortable with her over the years and were very fortunate she was able to help us with our second child. 

Kennedy's approach was both thoughtful and effective. She helped get our newborn to sleep through the night—our primary goal as my husband and I both run our own businesses and were not taking formal leave.  Her expertise and dedication were evident in every aspect of her care. Kennedy was a wealth of knowledge when it came to teaching our baby to self-soothe, gently transitioning him from the swaddle to the sleep sack, and even helping us wean him off the pacifier. Each suggestion she provided was tailored to our baby's needs, reflecting her deep understanding of infant sleep patterns and developmental milestones.

But Kennedy's impact extended beyond just overnight care for our son. She took the initiative to connect us with another mother in need of breastmilk, managing all the interviewing and vetting on our behalf, so that I could donate extra breastmilk I produced. 

Above all, Kennedy was a warm and welcoming presence in our home. Her sweet demeanor and compassionate approach made her not just a caregiver, but a cherished part of our family's early journey. We are deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated and caring doula or night nurse.

Kennedy was everything we needed and more! She started with us when my daughter was 3 weeks old to give us some relief during the night and help us get her on the right path to being a good sleeper. Kennedy was great with her from the start. She has the perfect demeanor for working with babies. She also gave us some invaluable tips for soothing her and putting her to sleep that we still use five months later. We are so grateful to have worked with Kennedy and any family is lucky to have her!

Having Kennedy provide overnight care for our newborn was a total life saver for us, and we were so so lucky to be referred to her. She arrived on time and without fail for every engagement; we trusted her in our home while we got some much needed sleep, and she was so loving and nurturing to our tiny baby. She knew a tremendous amount about caring for babies and provided us with wonderful education, while all the while respecting our wishes and practices. While our baby slept, she washed bottles and folded laundry. Her demeanor was gentle, kind, nurturing and supportive. She helped support my pumping and breast feeding journey by bringing me the pump in the middle of the night at the time I requested, prepped and washed pump pieces, and anticipated our needs without even being asked. She was also so sweet to our older son and he quickly came to trust her overnight in our home as well. Any family would be so lucky to work with Kennedy during the vulnerable period of adjusting to life with a new baby. I can't recommend her enough.

I hired Kennedy to be our night nanny for my baby when she was a newborn. When I first met with Kennedy over FaceTime I was so impressed with her experience and calm demeanor , she was exactly the right fit for us. Kennedy knew how to soothe our baby , and help her sleep independently with no crying. Kennedy was also so helpful with tips and guidance on all things newborn. She offered to cook/clean while she was spending the night but it was more important to me that she get rest. Kennedy asked what my expectations were and exceeded them. She followed all my requests and has Made such an impact on my post Partum recovery. I would gladly continue hiring Kennedy!

Our ongoing experience with Kennedy has been nothing short of amazing. As first time parents, we were desperate for a little support overnight, especially as my husband returned to work and we were still figuring out our early weeks of sleep. Kennedy is truly a baby whisperer, who brings a super sweet demeanor and extremely respectful presence to each visit. She is quick to take over with bottle-feeding, soothing, swaddling, talking to our daughter through diaper changes, and many other necessities of newborn care. Kennedy is very helpful in explaining techniques and offering possible solutions in a world of many new and unknown things for  first time parents. 

Kennedy provided overnight newborn care for us when our daughter was three weeks old, and then again several times after. Each time has felt like a true relief when Kennedy visits, and we wake up the next morning rested and at ease. She is very reassuring and helpful with updates the following morning and always leaves our house with all of the bottles washed and other baby-items tidied up. While we're still figuring out a lot as the weeks continue on, our 10-week old now gets regular stretches of 5, 6, and 7 hours at night, and I attribute much of that to the confidence Kennedy built in us and our sleep practices for our newborn.
