Most recent review
Rafa has been an exceptional caregiver for our newborn (premie). Rafa is very prompt and dedicated. During overnight care - Rafa has gone above and beyond - giving baths, clipping nails and constant monitoring and holding of our baby who is dealing with reflux. She has genuine affection for our daughter and checks in on her even when not here. Her knowledge has been helpful to us as new parents - taking time to show us methods to soothe and help baby’s digestion. She also always leaves our home much better / organized and clean than when she arrived. We are so grateful for Rafa and look forward to every time she cares for our little girl!
