Testimonial for Shamika Matos
We were first-time parents bringing home twins who were born six weeks early and spent three weeks in the NICU. It was a scary, overwhelming time, and Shamika helped us through both the day-to-day care of our boys and the emotional side of becoming parents under those circumstances.
Those first few weeks were some of the most challenging of my life. No question was too big or too small for Shamika. She always had helpful, thoughtful advice, but just as importantly, she listened to what we were going through and helped bring a sense of calm to our household. She cared for us as parents as much as she cared for our boys.
We had a lot of work ahead of us helping the boys gain weight, along with reflux and multiple formula and feeding changes. Shamika took it all in stride. Her advice and support were invaluable as we worked to get the boys gaining weight and found our footing as parents.
Her care extended beyond the time she spent in our home. Her check-in texts and calls meant so much, and she would send videos or articles whenever she found something she thought could help us. She became part of our family and truly helped keep us sane.
Supporting first-time parents with premature twins after the NICU is a lot to take on, but you would never know it from Shamika's calm, positive demeanor. I wholeheartedly recommend her and would gladly speak with anyone considering working with her. We are so grateful she was there for our family.
