Testimonial for Katie Edwards
Katie was an immense resource for our family after we had our twins. Katie visited our home prior to my birth to get acclimated to the commute and also our living set up. Once our twins arrived, she met us at our home to help us get started. Katie went to great lengths each day to make sure my entire family was supported both in and outside of the home. She ran errands, went grocery shopping, prepared support/educational materials, and even delighted us with goodies along the way. She was also very flexible in supporting us amidst a sometimes busy schedule of doctor's visits for me and the twins.
Inside the home, she was very thoughtful of us as new parents. From caring for our apartment, preparing meals, and assisting me on my breastfeeding journey. She is full of knowledge, encouragement, empathy, and first hand experience. Even something as little as conversation, went a long way in making me feel cared for.
Finally, Katie showered our children with warmth. They never cried or felt neglected while with her. At the start of each shift, she scooped our children from our arms and stayed a few minutes past the end of her shift making sure they were settled. She taught my husband and I very important care tips and from Day 1, implemented processes and best practices, enabling us to best care for our newborns. At the end of her shifts, I'd emerge from my bedroom and find that everyone's laundry was folded, the kitchen and living room were tidy, and garbage bins were emptied. This just made me more at ease throughout the day. She made the best use of her time with us, was never on her phone, and was thoughtful/creative in how she provided care.
Overall, working with Katie helped to accelerate our learning curve and made the recovery period a lot smoother for all of us.
