What Do Clients Say?
"We had a very difficult birth that left me physically and emotionally exhausted. When my mom had to leave after just a week, I burst into tears and begged her to stay. She couldn't, but sent Amber instead. She cooked meals, offered support, and cared for my colicky newborn so I could get precious hours of sleep. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her." --Brookfield, WI

"I've never felt more like a child than having one of my own. I didn't realize how much of an adjustment motherhood would be and I really needed help making the transition. I didn't discover Amber until 5 weeks after our daughter's birth--how I wish she had been there from the beginning!
She offered invaluable breastfeeding support, advice and encouragement through a painful infection. I was so discouraged that I thought about quitting, but because of Amber's patient assistance, nursing is now something my baby and I love.
She focused on taking care of my physical needs--like food, water, and sleep--so that I could focus on enjoying my little girl. With my own mother hundreds of miles away, it was so comforting to have Amber there to turn to. She is such a warm and nurturing person. I was apprehensive at first about being around someone that I didn't know very well, but Amber was like instant family. She made it so easy for me to be myself around her and ask for anything I needed. I felt so comfortable putting my daughter in her hands.
I was very anxious and constantly doubted myself and my abilities. Amber helped me to relax and reassured me that I could do this. Her presence gave me the confidence I needed to trust my instincts. I'm definitely a better mother because of Amber's help." --Herndon, VA

"I'd always wanted to breastfeed, since I was young. I thought it would be easier than it was. I had my first child and had lots of problems with breastfeeding, was very depressed about that, and was ready to give up. Being a new mom, I was very shy about getting help with this, but you came and gave me one-on-one attention in the privacy of my own home. You helped me feel very comfortable, you showed my how to breastfeed, told me what I needed to know, and had the enthusiasm I needed to get over my discouragement. If I hadn't talked to you, I would have given up. As a result, breastfeeding has been great and I look forward to breastfeeding my next child!" --Laurel, MD

"I wasn't able to take much time off of work when our daughter was born, and it was difficult for my wife and me to manage everything. Amber was such a blessing. It was great to have someone there who could relate to what my wife was experiencing. Amber's experience as a mother, as well as a professional, meant that she could support my wife in ways that I couldn't. I was grateful to know that my wife had someone there with her when she needed support. And giving my wife a chance to sleep made a huge difference for all of us. Amber not only helped my wife; she made the adjustment easier on our whole family." --Herndon, VA
