Debbie is truly exceptional, and having her as our baby nurse with our second child was one of the best decisions we made. She is incredibly caring, calm, and extraordinarily knowledgeable. From day one, she had an amazing handle on our baby’s sleep and feeding, and her ability to gently guide babies into healthy, predictable routines is nothing short of impressive. I learned an incredible amount from her — she has a depth of knowledge and intuition that only comes from years of experience and genuine passion for her work.
Debbie was also incredibly organized and attentive, always keeping everything related to the baby clean, tidy, and thoughtfully arranged. She anticipated needs before they arose and brought such a sense of ease and structure to our days. She was also fantastic with our older child — warm, patient, and inclusive — helping her feel special and supported during a big transition.
On a personal level, Debbie is an absolute joy to be around. She is low-maintenance, easygoing, and has a naturally calming presence. We genuinely loved having her in our home, and she quickly became part of our family. I have enthusiastically recommended Debbie to all of my closest friends and family who are having babies, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Debbie was a lifesaver for us as first-time parents. We came into this experience nervous and unsure of how to navigate caring for a newborn, and she gently guided us every step of the way. She wasn’t only there for our son, she was there for us as well. She taught us everything we needed to know with patience, warmth, and so much compassion. On top of that, her cooking is incredible and she’s genuinely wonderful to live with; calm, kind, and so easy to be around. We’re so grateful for the love, knowledge, and confidence she brought into our home!

My family had the good fortune of working with Debbie when we welcomed our first daughter who arrived 5 weeks early.
Debbie was the most amazing baby nurse we could have ever asked for.
She took excellent care of our daughter who came home at a mere 4 lbs and taught my husband and I everything we know -- from diapers, to feedings, to baths, to sleep schedules -- she was on top of it all.
Debbie cared for our daughter like she was her own and made our entire family feel so loved and supported during the 6 weeks that she lived with us.
We were so fortunate to start this parenting chapter with Debbie. By the time she left, our daughter was totally on track and she continues to be today (at almost 3!).
Couldn't recommend Debbie enough.
