 “As a new mom returning to work, I had full confidence that my son was safe. And more than safety, he was provided with love, direction, discipline, and routine. She treated him as if he were her own. She was reliable and responsive to me and helped me become a better mom.”

Shaping Babies Agency provided overnight care for our baby from 4 weeks old to 4 months old a few days per week. Our Night Nurse allowed us to get some much needed rest so we could focus on being great parents when we were awake. She was able to keep a log, help with baby chores, and pace feed pumped breastmilk. She took great care of our son and we will be planning to use her again if we have any more babies!
