“I couldn’t have brought my baby home as calmly and confidently if it weren’t for knowing Kirsten would be there waiting for us. I had an unplanned c-section and with no close family nearby, I don’t know what I would have done without her. In those first few weeks I was able to get the rest I needed. Kirsten was so patient and caring and had this amazing way of showing us how to care for our baby without taking over. I tell all my friends booking a maternity nurse is the best investment.“
