Testimonials

I am writing on behalf of Bernadatte, who is applying for a position as your baby nurse. Let me assure you
that you would be hard-pressed to find a better candidate for your child.
In the few weeks Bernadette worked with our baby girl, she truly become a part of our family. She began watching
our daughter when she was just a few days old. She worked with us every night for 4 weeks and we were
comfortable with her instantly.
Bernadette has mainly strength but her greatest is her knowledge and experience with newborn babies. She devoted
her full attention to Sophia and understood what we needed from her as first time parents. We learned so much
from her in such a short time and were so grateful for the short time we had. She taught us how to swaddle properly,
soothe, bathe and teach good night time sleeping habits. Sophia loved Bernadette and was always so calm and happy
with her. I felt comfortable and safe knowing she was there to guide us through the initial turmoil of having a
newborn.
I understand that the demands of a baby nurse are different from one household to the next, but I am confident that
Bernadette is more than ready for any challenge. She conducts herself professionally, respects confidentiality, and is
able to connect with the babies and parents.
We are so saddened to have lost Bernadette but know that she will make so many other children feel her love and
warmth. She is irreplaceable! I sincerely hope that you are quick to give her a position, as her warmth, attentive care,
and inviting personality will be sure to endear her to you and your children. Please do not hesitate to contact me by
phone or email if you’d like any additional information; I’d be happy to share!
Sincerely,
Angela

To Whom It May Concern,

Working with BB was one of the best decisions that my wife Tilly and I ever made.  We are lucky beyond words to have met her.

We hired BB as a night nurse for our first boy in 2021, for 10 weeks, and for our second boy in 2023, for 9 weeks.  And we have had her back from time to time to handle nights and weekends.  We consider her to be part of our family and keep in touch — and, in fact, when we learned that we were having our second baby, we called BB to book her right away, even before telling anyone in our immediate family about the news!

As first time parents with our (now older) boy, BB taught us so very much, and was so loving and patient in doing so.  The lessons from those early days still reward us today, as we continue lean on the routines that she established to navigate the ever-increasing demands of our busy family lives.  As second time parents, we obviously had more experience, but BB continued to teach us, in terms of the way that we balance the demands and routines of both children, making certain that our older boy navigated the major change of the arrival of the baby.

BB doted on both of our boys with very special love and affection.  Every night that she walked in, the older boy perked up with a big smile, and the moment she said hello, the baby recognized her voice immediately, and started to settle down with anticipation of the bath, bottle, and bed routine to come.  I should add that there is nothing cuter than the happy and serene face on a baby when BB takes him for his nightly bath!

I also cannot heap enough praise on BB for her sleep training.  We trusted her routine, and both boys were great sleepers by the end.  We are told that our experience is rare in that regard.  The boys are still great sleepers to this day, and we credit BB’s work and advice for it.

BB was always very prompt and communicative, about her schedule and everything else.  She is fastidious in cleaning her spaces in and around the kitchen and bedrooms.  Always alert, in the evenings and the mornings, and always at work, from the moment that she arrives to the moment she leaves.  And an absolute pleasure to have around (my wife and I frequently enjoyed dinner with BB together, because we love her company so much).

All of this is to say, we highly recommend BB to anybody without hesitation.  We have recommended BB to friends, and they have been very pleased as well.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us, and you can speak to me or my wife.  My email is (please ask Bernadette) and my cell is (number withheld).

Best,

David

Dear Stephanie,
I’m writing to highly recommend Bernadette to any potential client who may be interested in her night nurse services. Bernadette worked with us for five nights a week from the night that we came home from the hospital for three and a half months. Although she mostly worked with us for 12-hour nights on weekdays, we valued her help so much that we asked her to stay a couple of 24-hour periods. If we could, we would keep her forever.
Bernadette’s expertise, support, and loving care for my baby Jackson made my early parenthood as magical as I could have hoped. She was there to help as soon as I came back from the hospital, when I was exhausted, in pain and overwhelmed. Her confident yet calming presence immediately put us at ease during an otherwise stressful life transition. She played a
crucial role in my recovery and first weeks of having the baby, as I was able to get sleep and “shut off” my new mommy brain for deeper rest. I always knew he was in good hands with Bernadette and that’s a priceless feeling for any new parent. As I was well rested, I actually could enjoy this special time with my son and maintained quality time with my husband. Our
friends often asked us how we looked so energized and happy during the newborn stage and our response was always “Bernadette.”
On top of her support at night, we were also grateful to have Bernadette to teach us how to take care of an infant as this was our first child. She taught us everything from establishing a comfortable pumping/feeding schedule to giving him his first bath. I can’t count the number of times Jackson would cry or fuss and Bernadette would immediately figure out the problem, soothe him, and then teach us how to do so ourselves. Because of her deep knowledge and experience with newborns, she helped us all develop a good routine as a family that is paying off even after her time with us. For example, she effectively sleep trained him from day one, so now we have an easier time getting him to nap in a bassinet or self-soothe
than other parents.
Finally, she’s just a great person and adds such a warm, wonderful presence to our home. It is not an easy decision to let someone new into your house and family at such a vulnerable time. However, Bernadette had an honest, funny, and up-front approach while also being very respectful. We would have fun chatting with her in the early stages of the night and
we would even say to each other privately, “man, we’re really going to miss having her around.” Her love for babies and especially our son was deeply moving, as they bonded beautifully. I’ll always remember the many evenings I would see her smiling and talking to my baby, who would look up at her with equally loving eyes. She will be forever part of our family.
We welcome any potential client who would like to discuss her qualifications or services further and recommend her without any hesitation.
Sincerely,
Kibby
