Testimonial for Rachael Gallagher, CPD, M.S.Ed.
Bringing home a newborn is an incredibly vulnerable time—overwhelming, exhausting, and often isolating. A few days in, I realized our family needed support. I had endless questions about what was “normal,” how to best care for my baby, and how to carve out even a moment to rest. That’s when we found Rachael, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we’ve made as a family.
The best way I can describe Rachael is Mary Poppins personified. She is warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly intuitive when it comes to both newborns and new parents. She has taught us so much—everything from feeding techniques, safe sleep practices, and babywearing to newborn soothing methods that actually work. Beyond her expertise with our baby, she seamlessly integrated into our home, supporting our whole family, including our dog!
What truly sets Rachael apart is her deep understanding of postpartum care. She not only nurtured our baby but also made sure I was healing and cared for, teaching me pelvic floor exercises, preparing nourishing meals, and offering a compassionate ear when I needed reassurance. She has been a steady, calming presence, bringing a sense of peace to our home during such a transformative time.
If you’re a new parent looking for expert newborn care with an extra dose of kindness and understanding, Rachael is the absolute best. We feel so lucky to have had her support in these early weeks, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!
