Testimonial for Samantha Johnson
Samantha came into our lives right when the world shut down, and came back to us too when we had our second baby in 2023. In 2020, we were first-time parents who had no idea what we were doing; We were terrified but also didn't know what to expect with the new "normal" but somehow, Sam brought peace back into our home. She took every safety precaution, but she never felt distant — she brought warmth, calm, and this steady sense that everything was going to be okay.
What stood out most was that she didn’t just take care of the baby — she took care of all of us. She checked in on me when I didn’t know what I needed, helped my husband find his rhythm as a new dad and stay involved and needed too, and made sure our whole home felt settled again. She just got it — the exhaustion, the emotions, the little things no one prepares you for... especially with a global pandemic!
Looking back, I realize she wasn’t just helping us through postpartum — she was helping us become a family. And we loved her so so much that when we became pregnant again, she was one of my first calls! She’s a rare kind of person who makes you feel seen, safe, and capable all at once. We’ll never forget what she gave us.
