Elli joined our family on the first night back from the hospital. She was a godsend. She expertly took care of our son from the get go and more importantly taught me and my husband how to care for him. I cannot rave enough about her. I learned countless things from her regarding baby care in addition to the extra hours of sleep i was able to get while she was here.
She was on time every single night. The one night she ran a few minutes late we received a message from her beforehand explaining the traffic anomaly. She was impeccably neat and organized. She also assisted me with the pump and bottle sanitazing at night and left everything in its place. She also logged all of her activity at night so I knew when/how much he feed and any other pertinent information (I kept this practice after she left, it is incredibly helpful!). She also advised me on some lactation matters and explained techniques for pumping and breast feeding. As a first time parent that advise was invaluable.
I felt incredibly at ease with her which allowed me to sleep soundly. I would bring certain concerns to her and she would explain the reasoning behind certain behaviors my son was exhibiting. There is just no blog that can substitute having an expert in your own home.
By the end we were very sad to see her leave. She has a personality where she becomes part of the family because she cares for your family as her own. I highly recommend Elli if you are considering her to work alongside your family in this very special time in life.
