Hiring Denise Messick was the best decision we made for our family. To be honest, I can confidently say we wouldn't have survived the postpartum period without her.
The first few weeks were incredibly difficult as my wife was suffering from an infection and physically unavailable. Denise was the angel we needed. She went beyond all expectations—on days when we were exhausted from ER visits, she was kind enough to come in early so we could finally catch up on sleep.
She didn’t just do the chores (though she was amazing at cleaning bottles, sanitizing, and handling the baby); she actually taught us how to be parents. She taught us how to give baths, provided lactation guidance, and 'cracked the code' on how to soothe our baby when he was fussy.
One thing I found super helpful was that Denise logs everything—her observations, what she did, and action items for us. She left us feeling organized and capable. I can vouch for Denise on any day; she is truly God-sent.
