      Kate worked with us after.i had my fourth child. With no family nearby and a busy household, her help was transformative and I will treasure that last newborn season because of her care! She is wise, calm and proactive. Her meals are delicious and nutritious. She is so adept at balancing the needs of the whole family, seeing what needs to be done and whenever she left, I felt so rested and restored! I would absolutely recommend her, she was integral to a beautiful postpartum period.

      Kate was an absolute livesaver for us. We were so incredibly grateful to have her join our family for the crazy early postpartum days with our second child. Kate is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. She is also remarkably industrious — I had no idea that someone could get so much done with a newborn strapped to their body. She was wonderful with our newborn, and also very helpful with our toddler. Kate completely saved my sanity when my husband went back to work and I was so sleep-deprived. Thanks to Kate, I was able to do things like shower, nap, eat, pump, and have special one-on-one time with my toddler. It was particularly crucial to have an extra set of hands around since I was recovering from a c-section. I sincerely do not know what we would have done without her. Her support helped me work on building up my breastmilk supply and reduce overall stress in the household. If we are insane enough to have a third child, we will be calling Kate to set up another contract with her. We were very sad to say goodbye at the end of our contract. Kate would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s postpartum care team, and I am telling every pregnant person I know about her. Thank you so much for all of your care and support, Kate! Thanks to you, I was able to be a human during early postpartum! A remarkable feat!
