She showed me everything! She helped get my baby on a schedule with patience and love. What I really liked about her was her positive attitude- she made things very light. I got nervous easily but her vibe really helped me gain confidence in taking care of my baby myself.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Alexandra, January 2023<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We engaged S. as a baby nurse for our newborn as soon as we left the hospital. Most first-time parents can attest to the fact that coming home with a newborn is just as nerve-racking as it is exciting. S. quickly helped us feel less anxious with her obvious expertise and her calming presence. We engaged her as a night nurse for a daily 12-hour shift (8pm &#8211; 8am) over a period of a couple of weeks. She was always punctual and professional and took great care from a hygiene perspective (changing clothes, disinfecting her hands before handling the baby,etc ) to ensure that our unvaccinated newborn was never in danger of contracting anything during peak flu season. She fed and changed the baby as per the schedule we set\u00a0 throughout the night, which contributed to our newborn actually gaining weight over the first two weeks of her life, instead of losing 10% of her body weight, which tends to happen to most babies who are released from the hospital. S. also offered us invaluable advice about interpreting our baby&#8217;s body language, hunger cues, etc. and even warned us preemptively about issues we might face regarding gas\/fussiness, suggesting products\/supplements we could order in advance to deal with them. From demonstrating how to file a newborn&#8217;s nails to how one should go about cleaning their nose, S. helped us learn dozens of tricks\/best practices that it would have taken us weeks (if not months) to figure out by ourselves. Last, but not least, S. is a genuinely kind and patient person and we truly appreciated how lovingly she would soothe and speak to our baby. She began each morning&#8217;s feeding session with her positive affirmations, telling our baby how smart, kind and beautiful she was. All in all, S. is one of the most reliable and competent professionals on top of being one of the most wonderful human beings we have ever had the pleasure of working with and we would recommend her services wholeheartedly to any prospective clients.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amrita, November 2023<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>Reference Letter for Samara<\/p>\n<p>To Whom It May Concern,<\/p>\n<p>I am writing to highly recommend Samara as a baby nurse. Samara worked with our family from the time my baby was 2 months old until 4 months old, and her exceptional care, professionalism, and support were invaluable to us as first-time parents.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment she joined us, Samara\u2019s calm demeanor had an immediate and lasting impact on our household. Her soothing presence helped me feel more confident and relaxed during what could have been a very overwhelming time. She took the time to teach me how to care for my baby, guiding me through essential routines with patience and clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Samara was always professional, had a wonderful attitude, and was incredibly easy to work with. She listened attentively whenever I had a difference of opinion and made me feel respected and heard in every conversation. Her ability to adapt to our preferences and needs made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Samara accompanied our family on two trips during this time, and her help was invaluable. She assisted with preparing everything we needed for travel and provided exceptional care for my baby throughout both trips, making them far less stressful and much more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>I am deeply grateful for the role Samara played in those early months of parenthood. She went above and beyond to ensure my baby was well-cared for, and her support made a lasting positive impact on our family.<\/p>\n<p>I wholeheartedly recommend Samara to any family in need of a compassionate, skilled, and dependable baby nurse. Please feel free to contact me at (&#8230;) if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra, January 2026<\/p>\n<p>Samara is wonderful. She is always on time, changes on arrival, cleans and disinfects all bottles, updates the huckleberry app (detailed tracking is important to me) but most importantly she takes the best care of baby Arthur. She\u2019s so friendly, warm and patient and we love the nights with her. She also teaches me a lot from paced feeding to movements to relief the baby from the gas, but also any other questions from nail care to recommendations on bottles. She is very professional and always taking classes to learn even more. I highly recommend her to every (new) mum: you deserve the support and rest with Samara at your home. You can always contact me at (<em>number available through NY Baby<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Anne, February 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The calendar shows the due dates that Samara is available for My name is S.- I am a Certified and trained Newborn Care Specialist.
