“Eva started with us prior to the birth of our twins to assist us in organizing the nursery (what clothes, how much bedding, feeding choices etc) as well as providing us with some very important parenting tips that just aren’t taught in books or by out of town grand/parents.

As a work at home entrepreneur, I don’t receive maternity benefits, so it was especially important to have Eva managing not only the running of the house (mostly with regards to the babies), but also pulling me out of my office for a breather, their feeding times and even my own lunches etc (I guess she took care of me too!). She really helped provide this mum with some sanity breaks and the odd night out for Mark and I to have some quality time. Eva worked with us from 9-5 (with the odd 9-6) for 6 months until we moved from Toronto to Brooklin. Her knowledge, previous experiences and flexibility made it almost a breeze. This was all due to her easy manner and way that she simply melted into our family that made not only the “caregiver time” great, but an unexpected bonus of a new (but smarter) friend. Let’s face it, it could be very difficult to insert a new person into your everyday life and that transition was not only seamless, but sorely missed when we moved. Although we begged her to “live in” (which again was a very big step), she had other families to help along the parenting path. Our girls are now 4 years old, and Eva is still a part of our family. Along with the general visits, she is part of all of our birthday celebrations, Christmas parties etc and we KNOW that we would be very different parents without her.”

“Eva provided our family some sanity at a much needed time.  As new parents bringing home a newborn that did not want to sleep we definitely needed some unbiased guidance.  The most valuable asset was putting our newborn on our routine and teaching to fall asleep on her own, once this was in place both baby and mommy were much better.  It didn't take too long to get sorted out thanks to Eva's help.  We are now the proud parents of a 2 year old that goes to bed every night at 7pm without a fuss.

Once again, thanks”

“We are a family of 5.  Big sister Eve is 20 months older than twins Clare and Sebastian - who are now 6 months.  Eva provided night help

and help during the day.  She assisted me with establishing and maintaining a sleep and feed schedule that got them sleeping through the night.  Eva also helped with shopping, laundry and the odd errand.
The most valuable aspect Eva brought to our family was a sense of calmness.  She is very capable and teaches you by example to remain level headed and calm too.  We really like that she still keeps in touch and offers suggestions when we aren't sure how to handle a new situation. We used Eva for approximately 6 months and reluctantly let her go.”

“Without Eva's support in helping me breastfeed my premature twins, my babies

would not have been breastfed at all. Eva possesses an impressive knowledge and

ability to help new moms breastfeed their newborns, and I found her skill to be on

par with that of any hospital lactation consultant. We were lucky indeed to have

Eva'ssupport during those challenging first few months. Eva also provided us with

very helpful information about babies in general, and we new parents are very

grateful!”

Eva was instrumental in helping us to navigate life with newborn twins!  Eva acted

as an essential "second set of hands" for the first six weeks of our babies' lives

(during the days)- not only providing us with extra support at a very busy and

exhausting time, but also building our confidence as new parents so that eventually

we could "go it alone".  Even after we no longer required Eva's services on a daily

basis, she continues to play an important role in our children's (and our) lives, and

we still maintain a strong relationship with her today - seven years later!
