Mariah was a life-saver for my wife and I. She watched our son, Felix, a few nights a week while he was 1-3 months old and gave us a chance to get some sleep and regain our sanity. Felix had a lot of feeding problems early on, which had taken an emotional toll on us - we were not doing well and needed the extra support.
We felt completely at ease with Mariah from the first day. Mariah would show up at bedtime to take over and watch Felix downstairs, and in the morning we'd often wake up to find Felix asleep in our bedroom. She was amazing with Felix, and also provided great emotional support to my wife and I. It relieved a huge burden from me - I was going through my own issues at the time, and it was very difficult for me to handle that while also trying to provide emotional support to my wife.
We were reluctant to outgrow our need for Mariah's help - after all, she pretty much saved us and helped us feel alive again - but around the 3 month mark, Felix was starting to sleep through the night and we had gotten past the worst of it.
Thanks Mariah! For the next kid, we're contacting you right away :)
