"My wife and I feel extremely fortunate that we were able to find Wendy to care for our twins. Wendy came for night work (10pm to 6 am) and has helped care for the twins during the days. We offer Wendy our wholehearted and most enthusiastic recommendation." --Russell and Toni
"I was lucky to get Wendy's name from a friend and I couldn't ask for better care. She helped me with pumping issues and dealing with an older sibling and trying to care for a newborn. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for us to help out and she was always good at finding things to take care of instead of waiting for me to tell her what to do." ---Jamie
"Wendy was amazing with my son. During the day he only wanted to nap with me holding him upright but Wendy knew just how to swaddle him right and put him to sleep right away during the day.
My son also hated baths. Thanks to Wendy's expert skills he loves bath time now!" ---Emma
"I came across Wendy when I needed somebody to go with me to a doctor's appointment to take care of my newborn while I was in the appointment. I was so comfortable with Wendy, that my doctor's appointment was very productive without worrying about the baby. Then I found out she could also help with infant massage. She gave me and my husband a session and in the process assisted me with a breastfeeding issue that we had. In the short period that we needed Wendy, she was great and we discovered a new source for future reference. Thanks Wendy, we really appreciated it!"-- Rocio P.
