"I couldn't have imagined how much our family needed Annie until we had her care during the first four months of our daughter's life. There are so many things I can say about why working with her was so special to us, but here are a few highlights that stand out to me. Annie was able to provide different types of emotional support to both my husband and I during such a HUGE transition in our lives, and when we really needed it the most. She was the perfect first person I trusted to care for my daughter - I could deeply relax knowing that my baby was safe and in such attentive care with Annie while I recuperated and rested. She guided us through many of the initial processes that new parents navigate - breastfeeding, how to pump, setting up the nursery, naps, sleep, etc, and she has an extensive network of specialized care providers that she referred us to, as needed. Annie was there to witness, empathize, understand, and guide us through the profound initiation into new parenthood. The first months of our daughter's life will always come with memories of Annie by our side. She will be our friend for life."

"I am endlessly grateful for Annie and her support with me and my baby girl and my only regret was that I didn’t find her sooner!! As a first time mom, I was overwhelmed with anxiety around feeding, sleeping, and making sure my baby was healthy and happy. Annie not only listened to and validated my worries, but she helped me overcome my anxieties one by one. The safety and comfort she brought to our home helped me become more comfortable in my new mom skin. From helping me take time for self care to finding the best ways to interact with my baby, and even guiding me through some tough sleep regressions, Annie was a constant guiding voice and strong support system. She is now the voice in my head helping to calm and guide me during challenging moments, and I can’t thank her enough for that!"

"I can’t say enough good things about my time with Annie. Before baby arrived, she helped me prepare myself and my home for the postpartum period. After the dust settled and my mom/MIL went home, I am so thankful that we had Annie to help me adjust to life as a first time mom. In those early weeks, when everything was new and a bit scary, Annie guided us through many elements of newborn care.  She was there for our first bath, taught us a good nap routine and helped me prep for my first solo flight with baby. She kept me fed, hydrated and well rested/relaxed, which was especially important as my husband transitioned back to work. On top of all the baby help, she became best friends with our bernedoodle puppy, which made his adjustment to our new normal much easier as well. Just watching Annie with my daughter taught me so much and I am very thankful for the time we had with her!"

"I love Annie. As a second time mom, I know that real support those first few months is critical and something I didn't have for my first baby. I instantly connected with Annie. Every visit, she cared for me and both my sons in the ways we needed for that day. She helped set up healthy habits for my baby's sleep routine and could always help with my endless questions that came up while caring for a newborn. She is open, loving, generous and knowledgeable. She provides steadiness and reassurance in such a vulnerable time. She became part of our family and really made our time with our new baby more peaceful."
