Client Testimonials for Lauren Licklider

Lauren was an incredible help after the birth of my second child. She is extremely thoughtful and considerate, and struck the perfect balance between following directions and stepping in to do things that just needed to be done. She was super respectful and never made us feel like she was invading our privacy or crossing any boundaries while spending time in our home. 

In addition to helping with household chores, Lauren would periodically check in to see how I was doing, if we needed anything from the grocery store, etc. She sometimes dropped by with homemade baked goods, healthy snacks, and even my favorite ice cream. Lauren is so thoughtful about ALL the ways people need support during the postpartum period, and understands the little things that make life easier and happier.

Having a newborn is ROUGH and it's so much harder mentally when you're staring at endless piles of laundry or clutter on the kitchen table. In just a few hours each week, Lauren gave us a sense of normalcy, made us feel like we weren't actually drowning, made our home a happy place to be nap-trapped in. Her thoughtful little touches, like a note on a freshly-made bed or a funny arrangement of our toddler's stuffed animals, made us smile on tough days and made us feel supported and less alone. She is a wonderful person and we are forever grateful for her help!
