Mia was IMMENSELY helpful after the birth of my second daughter.  My second daughter was born just 22 months after my first, so I had 2 kids under 2 for the first few months.  I also had a second c-section so I had limited ability to lift and significant pain for the first few weeks.  And, my first daughter understandably still needed a lot of attention while my second daughter only liked to sleep while being held, which posed a significant challenge.  Mia is a calm, caring, and kind person who somehow knew just the right thing to do or say in that environment.  Mia would lovingly hold the newborn daughter so that she would sleep - for hours on end, it seemed - and would compassionately listen to me vent about the many challenges of having 2 young children, trying to work at the same time, and trying to physically get back to a comfortable space.  If there was ever any downtime, Mia would fold laundry, do dishes, play with my older daughter, and just generally make everyone's lives better!  To be honest, I wish Mia could have just moved in with us for the duration as she made every hour she was there SO much easier and more pleasant.  Our first few months with 2 kids under 2 were not easy, but they were manageable BECAUSE we had Mia helping us.
