Scarlett was my first experience working with any kind of newborn care specialist/night nurse/doula. When I found out I was pregnant with my second, I knew I'd need support at night in order to be able to be the best mom to both of my kids. I was admittedly really nervous about handing over my tiny newborn daughter when she was only a few days old to someone overnight, but Scarlett immediately put me at ease. Scarlett is dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about you and your child. Scarlett helped me figure out some root issues of my daughter's gassiness and recommended a formula type that allowed my daughter to be more comfortable and less fussy. Scarlett listens to questions or concerns and works with you as a teammate to solve problems. After using Scarlett as a night nurse for ~3 months, I was lucky enough to continue to work with her to provide care for my daughter during the day to allow me some time to do other chores, exercise, shower, etc. Scarlett had ideas about entertaining my 3 month old, an area I always struggle with, and also provided an extension of "parenting" my daughter in that she was a very trusted partner. I can't recommend Scarlett enough for anyone seeking support with their newborn.
