Got questions or miss talking to an adult? I’m here to help you find answers and solutions you need, as well as provide an unbiased ear to support your transition.

“Deb stayed with our family for about 9 months postpartum.
She did everything from overnight shifts, daytime shifts, to a weekend shift alone with our daughter. Deb did everything related to baby care and additional tasks like cleaning and food prep. I had postpartum depression/anxiety and knowing our daughter was safe and loved when she was with Deb helped me tremendously. I hope we can hire her for our next labor and postpartum experience!”
