I cannot speak highly enough of Kennedy, who worked with our newborn son from the time he was 3 months old until he reached 4 months. She also has previously worked with us babysitting our toddler, so we've grown quite comfortable with her over the years and were very fortunate she was able to help us with our second child.
Kennedy's approach was both thoughtful and effective. She helped get our newborn to sleep through the night—our primary goal as my husband and I both run our own businesses and were not taking formal leave. Her expertise and dedication were evident in every aspect of her care. Kennedy was a wealth of knowledge when it came to teaching our baby to self-soothe, gently transitioning him from the swaddle to the sleep sack, and even helping us wean him off the pacifier. Each suggestion she provided was tailored to our baby's needs, reflecting her deep understanding of infant sleep patterns and developmental milestones.
But Kennedy's impact extended beyond just overnight care for our son. She took the initiative to connect us with another mother in need of breastmilk, managing all the interviewing and vetting on our behalf, so that I could donate extra breastmilk I produced.
Above all, Kennedy was a warm and welcoming presence in our home. Her sweet demeanor and compassionate approach made her not just a caregiver, but a cherished part of our family's early journey. We are deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated and caring doula or night nurse.
