postpartum nights
“We loved Sondra! From the moment I met Sondra on Zoom and she said she will be here to love on me and the baby, I felt an instant connection. She has such a calm, laidback presence and took wonderful care of me and our baby. She gave great advice and everything felt so natural in terms of communication (laughs, advice, etc.) Even our dog loved her! He got extra excited on the nights she came to our home :-)”
