Kind Words
“Katie helped us several nights a week for the first couple months of our third child's life. She is a skilled communicator, extremely responsible, diligent, and caring. It is a big leap of faith to welcome someone into your home and help you care for a brand new baby; Katie honored our trust completely and was able to make gentle suggestions while respecting our own wishes around feeding and sleeping.”
— Emily & Matt
“Katie was our night nanny for each of our three babies. She was a life saver! Katie kept detailed feeding and diapering notes every night and worked with us to get the babies on consistent nap schedules and sleeping through the night by the time they were a few months old.”
— Evan B.
“We knew immediately when meeting Katie and Sara that we were putting our first daughter (and ourselves!) in the very best hands. After a few nights they felt like family, and by the end of the 4th trimester and our time together we were so sad our nights with them were ending but felt like they gave us an amazing head start... And our baby girl was sleeping through the night thanks to them, so it was even better.
With their knowledge and empathy I felt comfortable asking all the questions that came up and knew I would get information if I needed it, guidance if I wanted it, and lots of support either way. Forever grateful for the time and expertise shared with us by Katie and Sara. If we're lucky enough to have baby #2, North Light Newborns will be our first call!”
— Susie K.
“Katie was a life saver when I came home from the hospital with my newborn son. I was able to get a good night’s sleep knowing that he was in excellent hands. Katie got him on a sleep schedule and helped me create a foundation for consistent sleeping habits. Thanks to Katie, my son was sleeping through the night by 4 months!”
— Claire H.
“Katie has saved my husband and me three times now. When our daughter Dottie was a newborn she helped us with some overnight stays so we could finally get some sleep. Such a relief. I couldn’t recommend Katie more. And I now feel confident knowing *I* have the skills to deal with any sort of sleep hiccups that might come our way in the future.”
— Ellie & Nick
“Katie did several weeks of overnight support with our third baby, and it was enormously beneficial for our physical and mental health as parents! Katie is professional, warm, and reassuring. We felt so comfortable leaving our sweet infant in her hands while we got much-needed rest. As a bonus, overnights with her definitely helped set a good foundation for nighttime sleep for our baby, who is now doing some nice long stretches of sleep at 10 weeks old! If you are an expecting or new parent, I highly recommend investing in overnight support with North Light Newborns, your future rested self will thank you!”
— Nicole H.
“Katie was an unbelievable support to us in the first few months with our daughter. I never thought I could get that much rest and feel that confident in the first few months of my little ladies life and I know that both of those things are due to the incredible baby whispering of Katie :) I can't thank her enough.”
