Ari cared for our son, overnight a few times a week, for 2.5 months while he was 1-3.5 months old. 

 

Ari was punctual, attentive, and communicative. She would care for and observe our son overnight and provide summaries the next day, ask about our day, and ask about doctor's appointments. Ari would digest all of that information and then offer suggestions on how we could care for our son. Additionally, she would send articles to explain the rationale behind her suggestions. For example, she provided suggestions for sleep schedule, sleep hygiene, side lying play to help with rolling, and much more.

 

Ari also helped fold baby laundry and dishes.

 

Aa first time parents, the help Ari provided was invaluable. Knowing our son was in good hands let us sleep in peace while she was here. Anyone who has had a newborn knows how rare peaceful sleep is! I'm pretty sure it saved our sanity and relationship.

 

I wish we had found her sooner to help in the first month! Hire Ari - she's amazing!

Ari was a huge part of my postpartum experience. She helped my family in a time where we really needed an extra set of hands. We hired Ari when my baby was 3 months old as an infant care specialist. Not only did she provide care for my baby but she also helped me understand sleep/nap training, different activities to help reach milestones and feeding techniques. Even when she wasn’t at our house she was checking in to see how things were going. I can’t imagine the past few months without Ari, she was the calm in our storm and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering infant care.

Ari has been with our family for almost four years. She began caring for our one year old at the time, but quickly became our primary childcare and family support. As I went on to have two more children, Ari helped provide balance for me as I juggled being pregnant and taking care of toddlers . Ari was flexible, reliable, and even stayed with our children while I was in labor. I felt at ease with Ari in my postpartum period as she cared for our newborns and our family. We are so grateful to have Ari in our family, and cannot imagine how we would have survived the past few years of our crazy baby and toddler filled lives!
