No one really prepares you for postpartum as a dad. I thought we’d just figure it out, but those first weeks were harder than I expected. My wife was exhausted, and I didn’t always know how to help in the ways that actually mattered. Getting support through Briie and her team made a huge difference. Having someone experienced in our home brought calm and structure when we needed it most. It gave my wife space to recover and gave me the confidence to step up. I’m really glad we didn’t try to just tough it out.

As a first-time mom, I can’t say enough good things about Briana. From the moment she walked in, she brought such a calm, confident energy that immediately put me at ease. She cared for my newborn baby boy like he was her own and was incredibly patient and gentle. She not only helped me understand my baby’s cues and sleep patterns, but also supported me through those overwhelming early weeks with so much compassion and knowledge. I always felt comfortable asking questions and truly learned so much from her. I’m beyond grateful for Briana’s care, professionalism, and genuine kindness. She made the transition into motherhood so much smoother. I’d recommend her to any new parent in a heartbeat! 💙

Briana is professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to have in the house. She also gave lots of cuddles and love to our newborn whilst giving us a few - much needed - nights sleeping!

We had a wonderful experience with Briana. She was always on time and even earlier. She is very knowledgeable and has been very helpful with our newborn. She thought us everything we needed form umbilical cord and circumcision care to sleep conditioning and baby schedule.

Briana came to our family at the right time. A few weeks post partum I quickly realized I was going to need some help especially at nights. Briana helped me as a new mom learn the nuances of newborn care. From feeding to diaper changes and teaching us how to care for cradle cap- Briana did it all. Most importantly she helped with setting sleep schedules and gave me relief at nights so I could rest to tackle the next day. All in all Briana was excellent and I would highly recommend her to any family in search of assistance with a newborn.

Briana was such a blessing during the newborn phase with our third baby. We didn’t use a night nurse with our first two children, so we weren’t sure what to expect and honestly, I was a bit nervous. But Briana immediately put us at ease with her calm, professional, and caring approach. She took amazing care of our newborn overnight, allowing us to truly rest. Her thoughtful morning updates made us feel confident and informed. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made!

After weeks of sleepless nights and trying every tip we could find online, we finally reached out to Briie for her sleep training consultation — and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made as new parents. She took the time to understand our baby’s unique sleep patterns and created a personalized plan that was gentle, effective, and easy to follow. Within just a few days, our little one was falling asleep independently and sleeping longer stretches at night. What stood out most was Briie’s calm, supportive approach and her ability to reassure us every step of the way. She never made us feel judged or overwhelmed. She was available for check-ins, offered thoughtful tweaks when needed, and truly cared about our success. We feel like ourselves again — rested, confident, and connected. We’re so grateful for Briie and would recommend her to any family navigating sleep challenges.
