Heather joined our family when my son was 7 months old, when our parental leave was up. From the start, Heather has been great at implementing the routine we set for our son and adapting as his needs changed. She was a wonderful help as we navigated through sleep training, transitions to solid foods and first steps. I appreciated her suggestions throughout it all being a new parent and being willing to work with us as we found what worked best for our son. Heather helped create an environment for my son to feel nurtured/safe as he grew. She’s always been patient and kind with our little boy. Heather keeps my husband and I informed of how our son’s day goes, writing down key things like meals, and naps as well as being sure to pass along any other helpful information (signs of teething, preferences in foods, etc.) Heather has been great at getting our son outside of the house, with multiple walks a day when the weather allows, trip to the local library, and children museum. She’s built a great relationship with him, knowing his likes and dislikes, and thoughtfully bringing presents for him (and our cat!) on holidays/birthdays. We’ll miss having Heather as our family needs change this year.
