Client testimonials
"By far the best money we’ve spent parenting thus far. Second time around, we knew we’d need some overnight help so one of us could be functional (enough) to toddler parent at 6am. Karin was so helpful in the first two weeks with our second child. Without Karin, we would probably still have the preschool plague, and would have given it to our newborn. Luckily she was able to give us some much needed sleep so we could be the best parents for both our kids. Highly recommend Karin and Partum Health. Our second came 3 weeks early and Autumn was able to have Karin with us in the first week. Truly, such a blessing, and the only reason I have enough brain cells functioning to write this. We will miss Karin so much." - Partum Health client, June 2024
