Testimonials


"Rachel is fantastic working with children. She is fun, bubbly and Friendly, Definitely one of our most popular Volunteers. She's been a volunteer both in the classroom and chaperone for field trips for 5 years. She is a quick learner and works extremely well under pressure. This can be a daily sometimes multiple times per day as i teach Special Education for children ranging from 4 years old to 11 years old. If we happened to be under-staffed she was Adaptable and Flexible and Reliable and always there to help. she is just a ray of light.

Natalie White. 



“Rachel was a godsend with both our children. She is an always-reliable professional, loving, expert and non judgemental. I trust her completely with our babies, and she has great judgment and counsel for us as we navigated the first weeks and months. Whether it was breastfeeding, gas, sleep training, exhaustion, or a sick newborn, Rachel made every effort to help me as a new mom. I unequivocally recommend her. We are thinking about having another kid just to have her support.”

Vivienne Zhao.



“Rachel is truly an exceptional care provider and coach. As our nurse pre and post pregnancy she was like part of our family. She has the perfect balance of confidence, patience, and care for our baby and us as first time parents. She consulted with us on everything baby related- day and night care, feeding challenges, lactation, nutrition expertise and sleep training. She brought the same passion and empathy to our coaching practices pre baby as she did to her in-home care for our baby. We can't imagine doing it without Rachel.”

Sarah Redmond.



“As new parents the days are beautiful although very full on. From Lactation to scheduling, feeding and burping, sleep deprivation to sleep training Rachel helped us through it all. We loved her natural approach in studying my baby and helping her to grow healthily. She knew every product baby related and advised us on the best options every single time making our journey a dream because as new parents we really had no clue as the baby market can be overwhelming. We loved communicating with Rachel through Zoom and the sleep App because when she was not present she could just pop on and advice us through the issue. We would highly recommend Rachel for all baby and parent related needs.”

Elizabeth Reed.
