Testimonial for Trisha Russell
I was looking for some extra support as my partner had to go back to work within a week of us having our second child. As I had a planned C-Section due to a complicated pregnancy, a 2 year old at the time, 3 pets to look after and a household to run, needing extra help was an understatement.
The first time I met Trisha for an interview, she was so engaging with my little one, that I knew I had found the right person for the job. She immediately put me at ease with all of my questions and concerns having three kids of her own and pets too.
Not only did I feel comfortable having her there for our family but she was so helpful in her knowledge and resources. On top of that she assisted in cooking, cleaning, running errands, laundry, walking our dog and childminding. All of this allowed me the chance to focus on breast feeding our new born, which I struggled with but she was supportive in whatever way she could. It also gave me the chance to have more quality time with both of my girls and allowed me to get the rest I required to heal.
It was a blessing to have had her support and even more to have found someone like Trisha, who came with plenty of her own personal life experiences. I can't imagine how I would have managed through that first period of transition without her aid, expertise and guidance.
