We are so grateful to have found Mindy when our little one was just 6 weeks old. As first time parents with no family nearby we were looking not just for a nanny for our little guy, but for someone we could learn from and help us adjust to life as new parents. Mindy came right when we needed her most and her gentle and caring presence immediately eased our nerves and made us feel so comfortable with our baby under her care, allowing me to leave the house for a couple hours of "normalcy" without any worry. On top of being the best nanny for our babe, Mindy has consulted with us on everything from bottle washing systems to comforting gassy babies and even provided lactation/breastfeeding support. Mindy is a great listener and her nonjudgmental guidance and support has been invaluable to us. Can't recommend her enough - especially to first time parents! She's a real life super nanny!
