As first time parents to newborn twins and wanting to ensure that we had a trustworthy night nurse as we catch up on much needed sleep as well as settle into our new reality. Maria and team got started immediately as we just got home from the hospital and quickly got us situated and made sure our new baby boy and girl were well taken care of. The team was great at communicating recaps of how our babies did during the night and gave great recs on how to handle certain situations. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for night nurse services!

Maria is a true GIFT! We are first time parents who would have not survived the first 3 months of our son’s life if it wasn’t for Maria. She has been with us since the day our son came from the hospital. She is so hard working, ten steps ahead, organized, smart, personable, even consoled me when we realized my son didn’t do well with my breast milk. She’s always on time, stays beyond her scheduled time to help you and/or teach you. She is more knowledgeable than an online mommy course and most pediatricians. She has spent thousands of hours with babies and understands how to sleep condition them, feed them, what formula to use, how to effectively clean and sanitize bottles, how to prevent a flat head, what signs to look for when your baby is tired/hungry/sick and much more. In addition, she cares about the mother, always checks in on the baby and always makes sure you stay on schedule. Thanks to Maria, our son was sleeping through the night by 7 weeks. She made us become much more confident parents. Maria is worth every penny and more. I will definitely hire Maria again for our next baby. She is a true gift to any parent that hires her. The most caring, loving, gentle, knowable night nurse out there. Always answers any question even when she’s not on the clock. She really cares about her clients and their big dogs too ;). She is an asset to any new parent. If we could, we’d have her move in. We LOVE Maria and are so sad our time is coming to an end.. if you want someone you can trust who will teach you the ropes of parenthood, Maria is your gal!

María was wonderful with our baby girl! Would highly recommend to any new mom. She helped us sleep condition and my baby is sleeping great. She also helped me with breast feeding and other tips. We were very happy we had her those first couple of months.

We had Maria since the day we brought our 3rd son home. She has been fantastic and is very proactive in communicating any potential issues he may have. Maria also provides information on infant care and a schedule for day time to help move him towards sleeping through the night. Our son is only 6 weeks but already sleeping well and hitting all his sleep milestones. I sleep well knowing he has Maria caring for him! It’s been great having her in our home and she quickly got up to speed on where everything is. Maria has also been very helpful beyond caring for my son (e.g., fills my water bottle, washes bottles, moves baby gear so I’m set up when she leaves in the morning). 100% recommend her!

We had Maria with us from day 1, and her experience and care for our newborn was incredible!  Maria was not only wonderful and very meticulous in making sure our baby had the best care, but she guided us to do the same during hours she was not here in the 4 months she worked with us.  Her schedules for our baby made it surprisingly simple for us to know how often to feed the baby, when the baby should sleep, and when baby needs to be up and playing.  We were sad to see Maria leave after her night duties with us had come to an end, but our baby has been sleep trained wonderfully by Maria so we are able to get nightly rest without the baby waking up in the middle of the night.  Maria was extremely punctual, always prepared, and really bonded with our baby.  I can’t imagine having another child and not calling Maria to guide us again on proper care for a newborn!  I highly recommend Maria for any new parents’ newborn care!
