What Our Clients Have to Say
Danny
Wow! Stefanie was an absolute gem. From the moment we welcomed her into our home, we had a genuine rapport with. Dedicated, well educated, experienced and full of heart, she was a tremendous support system during our very long labor.

Stefanie helped me to relax -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. She was there to care for baby when I needed some sleep, she was there for a chat while I nursed, and she seemed to have this light-hearted humour that would keep things positive and make me laugh at things I had perhaps been taking a little too seriously.
Viktoria
Honestly, I didn’t know how much less stressed I would feel by having the dishes clean and the laundry folded! But the things that really made a difference were: having someone to talk to about what I was going through and the ‘treats’ Stefanie brought me. It really made me feel taken care of.
