HANDS ON's Reviews

Amazing!

Helen helped us with our first & came back to help with our second. She is amazing - fits in with familys routine /needs, v flexible. As a Mum herself, she really understands what you go through as a first (&2nd!) time parent. She is calm, caring, patient and knows so much about babies - she even helped us get an appt sooner with a top paediatrician to help with our baby’s milk allergy. Wd highly recommend her & she is a lovely person too 😊 very easy to have around our house and knows exactly when to give us space. She has been a great help to me, even building a lovely relationship with my older son and giving me advice for dealing with his behaviour too! In summary, she is amazing.

Simply the Best

Helen joined our family when my daughter was 11 weeks old. We had been struggling to get sleep and get our baby girl eating enough during the day. Helen came in and was instantly a calming presence for both myself and ,y daughter. She's a baby whisper and within 12 hours of arriving could already tell our babies queues that we often missed as new parents. Helen fit in perfectly with our family and helped my husband and I to feel confident as first time parents. We don't want her to leave us!

Many thanks for such kind words, I am sure she will continue to thrive and be the calm and contented she is,it has been a pleasure working for you both and your beautiful baby daughter!

Wonderful help

Helen stayed with us for 6 weeks from Oct 13 as a maternity nurse. She is very knowledgeable, a lovely person to have around and above all cares deeply for babies. She started with us the day we came back from hospital following a Caesarian.
She was an invaluable help and her expertise and experience was wonderful to draw on as first time parents. Having wanted to breastfeed, Helen helped and encouraged me immensely and without her I would certainly have given up breastfeeding after a few days especially since my baby had problems latching on. With her help and advice she helped me overcome all problems.
She took care of everything, changing nappies, establishing a feeding schedule, doing night feeds, washing and ironing, cooking, running errands like getting a passport application and photo for baby organised and so much more. She also made sure that she passed on her knowledge to enable us to feel confident and capable as parents after she left. We cannot thank her enough and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Thank-you so much,I had a great time caring for you and your baby and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and as in every job,I feel very rewarded seeing a happy,healthy baby flourish and develop into a unique personality and watching parents become confident and caring during this challenging,vulnerable transition into parenthood.
