As first-time parents, we had little idea of how to actually take care of a newborn at home, and with parents unable to travel due to COVID-19, we needed help. We still feel so lucky that Giulia responded. She was willing and eager to provide support even before our son arrived. Even now, two months after Giulia ended her time with us, we still reminisce about how our lives would be in shambles if not for Giulia. What she provided for us was confidence. No matter how tired we were or how messy our lives were, we knew that we were just a few days away from Giulia showing up and getting us back on track.
More importantly, she was amazing with our son. She soothed him, played with him, talked to him, fed him, changed him, cut his nails (something we still can’t do), gave him baths, and really made sure he was always taken care of. Just as importantly, Giulia also patiently taught us how to take care of him, such as bedtime routines. Then, when he was napping, she would take care of us. She would do his laundry, clean and sanitize all of his bottles, and occasionally made us home-cooked food. We had her over three times per week, including an overnight, and she was worth every dollar.
It’s hard to articulate what she has meant to us and how she has impacted our lives in the three months she was with us. When we hear the experiences of other new parents, we realize that we have never been so overwhelmed that it was unmanageable. This is due to Giulia being there since our son was three days old. We can’t wait to tell our son all about Guilia and how positive of a role she’s played in our lives in a short period of time.
In terms of tactics, Giulia doesn’t smoke, was always on time, has her own car, doesn’t look at any devices or screens, and is someone we trust 100%. Pick her. It’ll change your life.
