“To say she’s a helper doesn’t come close to describing her value.” -Kristin Carleton


How we work with you

Before your baby’s born, you and I meet. That way, you can learn more about me and what I do, while I learn more about you, your needs and your expectations.
When you decide to hire me or a member of my team (depending on availability), there’s a retainer which covers the first nights, plus guidance in the weeks before your baby’s born. (See specifics below.)
If you don’t decide until your baby’s born, and we have an opening, there’s no retainer and you pay by the hour.
​Either way, there’s one contract, one weekly bill on Sundays, and a choice of hours to meet your family’s needs.
