Testimonies

"Restful Beginnings has been amazing for our family. We had help from Elisabeth with our second baby, she was very knowledgeable, ready to help, a great listener, and also great company. I was at ease knowing my sweet boy was with Elisabeth and I was able to get great rest. I would highly recommend Christi and Elisabeth from Restful Beginnings."

"We started working with Christi at Restful Beginnings one week after our son was born. From Day 1, Christi was attentive and supportive of our needs. Our original NCP was great, but due to increasing needs from another family, Christi offered Stephanie to be our new NCP. From the 1st night, we knew that Stephanie was supposed to be with our family. She has a very caring nature, a superb attention to detail, and was always willing to help ensure that we had a peaceful night. She left very detailed notes about the night and was always available to talk during her off hours to help come up with solutions to any sleep issues. I highly recommend you let Christi help you with your nighttime needs with any of her amazing newborn care providers."

"Christi listened to and addressed our concerns regarding night doula for our third child.  She not only found someone willing to travel to us, but found someone that was a perfect match for our busy family's needs.  Our daughter was a premie and on oxygen for a month and Joelea handled it with ease.  I always felt comfortable knowing Joelea was watching over my daughter.  Thank you!!"  

"Restful Beginnings will always be a part of our newborn experience with Emery!  Samantha was a great newborn care provider and helped us catch up on some much needed rest and baby laundry.  We felt very comfortable with Samantha from day one!  We would highly recommend Restful Beginnings night service to any new family."

"There are simply no words that would encompass everything Restful Beginnings/Our NCP meant to our family. Elisabeth came into our lives during a very stressful period and provided a sense of calm, nonjudgmental understanding, and most importantly, compassionate and knowledgeable care for our infant. Nothing short of an expert, Elisabeth taught my baby to differentiate night and day, and she set us up for success on scheduling baby’s days. She has a wealth of first-hand knowledge and advice on babies, children, parenting, nursing, nutrition, the baby blues, marriage, etc.  She was always available via text for questions when she was not with us. The consummate professional, Elisabeth was always prompt and went above and beyond, even light cleaning tasks outside of the original scope. She even lent a hand to help with our rowdy three year old. My only regret is that we cannot use her for many more months, or even forever! :) I would highly recommend anyone thinking about this service to sign on the dotted line and do not look back. This service will exceed all of your expectations."

"Christi was so helpful and personable when it came to caring for our 4 month old.  She helped with sleep training, getting us on a schedule that best fit our baby and family's needs and was very supportive through it all.  We are so grateful for Restful Beginnings help at a time when we needed guidance and support.  Christi is the best of the best."

"We had an exceptional experience working with Christi during our baby girl's first few weeks of life. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her.  She is very respectful, non-judgmental, knowledgeable and very caring. I felt so fortunate to be able to pass my baby back to her after nursing so that I could catch some much needed Zzz's knowing that my baby was in the best hands. Having the opportunity to maximize your sleep especially in the first few weeks is priceless. Thank you for helping us transition smoothly as a family!"

"Christi was such a blessing for me and my husband after we came home with our twins, our first babies. As soon as we left the hospital we felt a bit panicked. While we were so overjoyed, the weight of this new responsibility was heavy. Christi was there for us from our first night at home until the babies were 5 weeks old, and her encouragement and sincere care for me and my babies was such an extraordinary comfort. Whenever I doubted myself as a new mother, Christi was my cheerleader. She offered wonderful advise, but was never forceful or judgmental. She was also so gentle and warm when caring for my babies. We feel very fortunate to have had Christi with us during such a special time in our lives."

"Hiring Christi for newborn night care was the best decision we made to ease into life with 3 children. My husband and I both agree it was worth every penny. At the end of a long day caring for a newborn and 2 kids under 4 years old, Christi provided the peace of mind that we could get a restful night sleep with our baby in caring arms. Christi is so kind and loving she won the heart of our 3 year old who was originally frightened to have "a lady at our house when we sleep." We were blessed to have her in our home, and were sad when her time with us was over."

"Christi went above and beyond to help us meet our nighttime childcare needs. She matched us with Samantha who immediately clicked with with our family. She was prompt, professional and was so caring towards our baby boy. We had originally planned to use her for about a month, but we loved her so much and she was so helpful to us that we ended up using her until Tyler turned 6 months."

"Elisabeth was such a blessing to our family. She immediately made all of us feel comfortable and was always extremely professional.  She consistently went above and beyond what we expected her to do. She put in a lot of effort to gently coach our daughter to stay in her crib instead of needing to be rocked to sleep and to sleep for longer stretches at a time. She also gave us a lot of advice on how to structure the daytime hours with the baby. I have been really impressed by the overall communication and responsiveness of the company and would not hesitate to recommend Restful Beginnings or Elisabeth."
