I meet them there and spend time listening in order to understand their clients’ needs and desires. I discuss their vision and then try and find what will work for them. I love what I do and I’m thrilled to be a part of the amazing lives of the families I serve!

I cannot express how wonderful it was to work with Amy as my night nurse when Sebi was born for a few weeks. Not only did she help me tremendously, but she loved on Sebi as if he were family.

Cannot say enough good things about Amy. . . She is so neutering, soothing, loving and attentive. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her help in the first few weeks we were home with our little one. She's simply wonderful!
Months after my youngest was born, he still woke up every hour. We were sleep deprived and struggling. Amy saved us! She is amazing. Life got much better after that - for all of us.
