Reviews from recent families
“I highly recommend Tara as caregiver for your growing family. Tara worked with our family for several months after I gave birth to my second child. She handled with ease diaper changes, bathing, bottle feeding, sleep and calming general newborn fussiness. She was totally in tune with what my newborn needed.
In addition to her invaluable expertise with newborns she is also great with older children. My toddler son was very attached to me and I had tremendous difficulty trying to leave him with babysitters, but he tool to Tara immediately.
Tara is not only an amazing caregiver, she is part of the family! I strongly recommend her!”

“Tara arrived when our son was 2 weeks old. He had been feeding around the clock and my wife was exhausted. She was able to help him get on a feeding schedule every few hours and he gained weight at a good weight and my wife could sleep. Before she arrived we were up all night worried we were doing everything wrong. She got him nursing every 3 hours and on a bottle a night!
She was a lifesaver and even after she left she was always a text or call away if we needed her. My wife said Tara was the saving grace since we had no family around to help. We would hire her again in a heartbeat if we have another child. Her loving nature and understanding of babies is truly amazing”

“My husband and I first spoke with her when we were expecting our first baby. She came to meet us in person to ensure we felt comfortable her, provided multiple glowing references and gave lots of advise how to prepare and set up nursery. We weren’t sure how it would be having someone in our home overnight, but Tara immediately made us feel comfortable with her warm gentle presence. Thanks to her care my husband was able to get full nights of sleep and I slept as much as possible in-between nursing. We both rested soundly knowing our baby was being well cared for. Throughout the month she was with us, Tara helped us get into a rhythm as a new family. She gave invaluable advice on everything from breastfeeding to baby gas to the best pajamas for midnight diaper changes (double zip!) Now 2 months in, we are feeling confident and joyful in parenthood thanks to the foundation she helped set for us. We both love Tara and have already agreed she will be our first phone call whenever we decide to have a second child.

“Tara is so amazing, as a mother of 4 kids I can attest! It was so comfortable having her hear to help care for our baby so I could work. I hired her the moment I met her. I really appreciate that she was just as (if not more) cautious as I am with the safety of my babies. She mostly cared for my son from 3 months until 15 months. She is a blessing. I am so glad she was here to help our whole family, she is truly invaluable.”
