Teresa cared for our son Desmond during the first 3.5 months of his life — which, if you've never experienced a newborn, is basically a sleep-deprived fever dream. Teresa was our lifeline.
First and foremost: she stayed awake ALL night. Every night. While we, two fully grown adults, passed out the moment our heads hit the pillow, Teresa was wide awake watching over Desmond like the world's most dedicated night-shift superhero. We slept. Deeply. It was glorious.
She also came loaded with great ideas and was incredibly helpful around the house — doing dishes, chatting through all the "wait, is this normal??" new mom moments, and generally making us feel like we had it more together than we actually did. (We did not have it together. Teresa just made it look that way.)
And the communication! Always responsive, always professional, always on top of things — from supporting us through the birth process to keeping us informed every step of the way. She made chaos feel manageable.
But perhaps most importantly: Teresa once brought us candy from the corner store. Unprompted. In the thick of newborn survival mode, that bag of candy was basically a five-star meal. It was the kindness that broke us (in the best way).
Teresa is warm, reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. We would recommend her to any family — especially exhausted ones who also enjoy candy.
