Stories from the Families I've Supported

Hiring Carleen was the best gift we ever gave ourselves. Her reassuring presence put our minds at ease during that difficult moment. From then on, night after night, she remained a source of serenity as we'd work through the baby's needs and implement our wishes as parents.

From day one, Carleen was experienced, calm, and attentive. She was incredibly supportive throughout my C-section recovery and breastfeeding journey. With her guidance, our premature baby established a stable routine, gained healthy weight, and was thriving by the time she left. We are so thankful for the incredible progress our baby made in her care.

Carleen is simply outstanding, and we cannot recommend her more highly! She immediately brought calm and structure into our home, helping us navigate a complicated feeding situation with confidence. Her attention to safety, knowledge, and professionalism were exceptional. Our baby was sleeping 10–12 hours overnight by 10 weeks old! Carleen is calm, reliable, supportive, knowledgeable, proactive, and organized. A true professional.

Carleen was an absolute lifesaver. As first-time parents of twins, we were completely overwhelmed. From the moment she arrived, she brought a calm, confident energy that put us both at ease. She handled the overnight feedings with such grace, and by the end of her time with us, we actually felt like we knew what we were doing. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

After a difficult delivery, I was struggling emotionally and physically. Carleen stepped in as our postpartum doula and truly changed everything. She was nurturing, knowledgeable, and always knew exactly what I needed — whether that was practical help with the baby or just someone to listen. She helped me find my confidence as a mother.

We hired Carleen for overnight newborn care and it was the best decision we made. Our son had terrible reflux and colic, and she knew exactly how to soothe him. For the first time in weeks, my husband and I actually slept. She also taught us her techniques so we could use them ourselves. Truly a gift.

Carleen traveled with us to our Florida home for the first month after our daughter was born. Having her there 24/7 gave us such peace of mind. She is incredibly professional, warm, and skilled. Our daughter took to her immediately. We are already planning to have her back for our next baby!

I was nervous about sleep training but Carleen's gentle approach made all the difference. She never let our baby cry it out — instead she used the most thoughtful, gradual methods that felt right for our family. Within two weeks our son was sleeping through the night. I wish I had found her sooner.

Carleen supported us through the most challenging and beautiful time of our lives. Our premature baby required extra care and attention, and Carleen's experience with preemies was invaluable. She was patient, gentle, and always made us feel like we were in the best possible hands. We are forever grateful.

From our very first call, Carleen made us feel heard and understood. She took the time to learn our preferences and our baby's temperament before she even arrived. Her expertise in breastfeeding support was incredible — I had been struggling for weeks and she helped me turn it around in just a few days.

We are a same-sex couple and were a little nervous about finding someone who would be fully supportive of our family. Carleen was wonderful from day one — inclusive, warm, and completely focused on our baby and our wellbeing. She never made us feel anything other than completely welcome. Highly recommend.

Carleen organized our nursery before our baby arrived and it was such a relief. She thought of everything — the flow, the safety, the accessibility of all the essentials at 3am. Then when our son was born, she was there for the first two weeks and helped us establish a beautiful routine. We miss her every day!
