  • “My husband and I have been working with Amanda since our son was born in May. He came a month early, we were so lucky to have her knowledge and help in those first trying/sleepless weeks. She helped us feel less exhausted and we trust her with everything! Now we get to go on date nights and she give us expert feedback/ recommendations! Could not recommend her more!”

  • “Amanda was amazing! She came in and started working with us when my twins were about 3 weeks old. They’re identical girls and they were born at 35w 6 days- Premature. She worked really well with them and helped me with my breastfeeding journey while it lasted, taught me some things I didn’t know, having two older children I thought I knew all the tips and tricks but she had more and was full of knowledge! All of those things I have learned have led to my girls being 11 weeks old and sleeping from 9p-5a now! I can’t recommend her enough! We will miss her a ton!”

  • “Amanda is absolutely amazing! She has cared for our 6-month-old for months now, and having her help a few days a week has been incredibly beneficial for our family! She is professional, communicative, kind, and her passion for little ones shines through daily. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

  • "What a blessing this service is! Amanda and her team are such a great resource for the Pittsburgh community and beyond. Amanda spent time with us coaching us and helping us get into better sleep habits with our 2-month-old son. He is now napping like a champ and seems much happier - smiling a lot more! He is sleeping for long stretches at night and once he gains more weight, we expect the stretches to get even longer. Amanda also gave great tips on feeding and nursery organization/design. She's organized, attentive, diligent, and obviously very highly qualified. She also has a great team of overnight care specialists available that we might take advantage of in the future. They all have their newborn care specialist certification and have lots of experience, so I would feel safe leaving my baby under their supervision."

  • "I won a free session with Amanda through a contest and it was truly such a blessing. Amanda is so knowledgeable on newborns and spent the time with my husband and I to come up with a helpful schedule for our baby. She spent the day teaching us how to use our baby registry items correctly and how to organize to make the days easier for us at home with a new baby. We’re first time parents so Amanda sat and taught us the basics and made sure we felt confident in our parenting skills. Spending a session with Amanda helped me gain confidence in a routine and helped me relax with my first time parent anxiety. Overall Amanda is amazing and I would recommend her teaching sessions and overnights to every first time parent!"

  • "I cannot speak highly enough of Moonlight Nurturer and Amanda. She was there the night my premature NICU twin baby girls came home from the hospital. She helped for 5 months with overnight feeds, laundry, making bottles and more. She was extremely accommodating to changes in the babies schedules and offered great guidance when situations arose. She was extremely punctual, a great communicator and organized. It was so nice to be able to close my door, get some rest and recharge for morning, knowing my kids were in such great hands. We were so blessed to have Amanda care for our kids!"
