There aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Jess. She has been by our side through all three of our babies over the last six years, and I honestly couldn’t imagine getting through it without her.

 


With our third delivery especially, things took an unexpected turn and my wife had to go back to the hospital shortly after birth. Jess stepped in and supported me in one of the toughest moments for me. For those five days while I was home alone with a newborn and our two wild boys, she was a steady, calming presence that helped me hold everything together. She cared for the baby, helped with the kids, and made sure I wasn’t carrying it all on my own during a really overwhelming time.

 


Jess never made us feel like just another family. She genuinely cared about all of us and was there for us when we needed her. Knowing our baby was safe in her care allowed us to get vital sleep, recovery, and be more present for each transition. She made it easy to adjust to becoming first time parents, gave us strength to transition to boy parents of two, and gave us peace and clarity when we completed our family with our baby girl. It really helped to have someone knowledgeable to teach and refresh our mom/dad brains at such a vital time.

 


If you’re considering working with Jess, do it. She is one of those people who leaves a lasting impact on your family, and we will always be thankful she was part of ours. Our family flourished with her help.
