“Tess is the fairy godmother of postpartum and a consummate professional! She seamlessly integrated into our household mere hours after the birth of our second daughter and struck the perfect balance of deference and confidence. Having someone in our home to help troubleshoot breastfeeding, newborn sleep, and toddler tantrums was a godsend…our family of four felt so loved and supported by Tess.” - Heather and Tyler
