Testimonials...
This is not some thing she does just because she loves babies. She’s well-trained, well-read, and well-practiced in caring for both newborns and nervous new parents.
The main thing you need to know about Jen is that she has total professional commitment.
She sets everyone at ease with her warmth, confidence, and reassurance. We also admired the way she was able to come up with flexible strategies that were specific to our baby and family dynamic, rather than advocating a single, fixed philosophy of care, which is what the baby books do.
What really sets Jen apart is that she has exceptional expertise both with babies AND in communication in general.
