“My 16 week old twins fell in love with her instantly. We hired her after weeks of attempting to sleep train and get them on a schedule to no avail. Within one night, she had them and us running like clockwork. Veronica is a true professional and takes her job seriously. Each night she came in, cleaned bottles, set up what she needed, and sent my husband and myself off to much needed sleep. It was wonderful going to bed knowing someone was going to take care of my girls the way I would do myself.“
