Testimonials
Email me if you'd like the full references for the excerpts below"It's hard to put into words what she has done for us as first-time parents. She's been a caretaker, coach, counselor, and friend for the whole family."
Alli"In addition to being a wonderful baby nurse, Bernadette was also a great teacher - she made sure that both my husband and I were prepared to handle everything from soothing to bathing by the time she left us."
Arin"Bernadette was the quintessential professional from the start, supplying us with a written contract and documentation of her impressive credentials....Having Bernadette was like bringing the hospital home with us. She guided us through lactation struggles, sleep habits, baby's first bath and those first little health concerns every parent has."
Sarah"Of Bernadette's strengths - and there are many - her greatest is her dedication to the baby. She devotes her full attention to the child and accommodates her needs, even when they are difficult to decipher."
Lindsey
"I hope everyone will be so lucky as to have a baby nurse who is as well-intentioned, kind, and supportive as Bernadette. We are sad to see her go, but she left us well prepared to tackle the next steps of parenthood."
Laurie"As a new mother I found Bernadette to be extremely comforting and calming. She helped us navigate breastfeeding at night, taught us how to give our daughter a bath, and helped us learn how to best soothe our daughter to bed. Bernadette is also extremely COVID conscious and takes all precautions, which was very comforting during this uncertain time."
Rebecca"We fully trust in her and were able to truly rest when she was here which allowed us to enjoy Henry and parenthood more."
Jenna"Our daughter was very lucky to have Bernadette (the baby whisperer) as her first friend and we felt like she was part of the family by the time she left. Bernadette is the gold standard."
Victoria"When we came home after a fairly traumatic birth, Bernadette was waiting for us. I knew that I was in capable, loving hands. And she proved that to be true - and then some - for the next two months...On top of all, Bernadette is a joy to be around. She is warm, enthusiastic and loving. I'm so lucky that she came into our lives. I never felt worried when she was around."
