“Hi Stephney, just want to thank you again as you really came through for us and especially Theo the last couple of days. You also opened our eyes again to better ways of caring for him and helping his development, really a shame you wouldn’t be available to be his nanny, but I understand your preferences and priorities. Still though, should you change your mind and decide that you might prefer to work daytime and spend evenings and night with your family, you have a job offer here for that would guarantee 40-45 hours per week for quite some time… at least until we can find someone else and make a decision over the next few weeks. But either way, we really appreciate you and everything you do for us and the.”

“We are so grateful for you and all the help you’ve given us. We wanted to gift you a spa treatment at a place called the Bathhouse in Williamsburg, but we figured perhaps you have a favorite spot so we added to the Venmo instead. You and Isabelle are the best, Agi and the rest of us miss you already! 👶🧔👩😻😻”

“I cannot recommend Stephney enough! She spent 2 weeks with us as our night nurse and was such a breath of fresh air during a really difficult and uncertain time. As first-time parents who had no idea what they were doing, coming home from the hospital to such an expert was a total relief. She provided us with knowledge and guidance and was an incredible teacher who helped set us up for success after she left us. She was also a fantastic listener and wasn’t pushy about anything – she was a huge proponent of us trusting our parent instincts. I have heard of so many night nurses who just push their methods on new parents and make them feel like their way is the only way, but that was just not the case here. Stephney also seamlessly integrated into our home – in the background when we needed space and in the foreground when we wanted to pick her brain and get her advice. Lastly, of course, she allowed us to rest recover and SLEEP after labor and delivery and in those first few weeks which was priceless. Stephney is a total gem, a complete sweetheart, and a really lovely and kind person who will be an asset to any home. She will care for your child like she/he is her own!”

“Stephney is an extremely knowledgeable baby nurse and sleep trainer. After having no luck getting our baby Charlie on a schedule working with another nurse, we were referred to Stephney by a friend who gave rave reviews. She lived up to her reputation. Within 10 days she had him on a schedule, finally drinking his bottles and sleeping straight through the night!”

“I absolutely must recommend my incredible baby nurse, LaStephaney Atkinson. She moved in with us in NJ for 30 days in August 2020. She and her family have been extremely safe during the pandemic – she even has her daughters in face shields in school now. She is a nurse and was extremely helpful when needing advice post-c-section, dealing with the baby’s belly button and circumcision and all of my postpartum ailments (did you know you can get plantar fasciitis postpartum?!). She is also knowledgeable when it comes to all things nursing. She is just so lovely and easygoing.
She blended in with us seamlessly. There was nothing she needed or wanted that wasn’t out of the ordinary and she honestly didn’t need or want much. I thoroughly enjoyed spending my downtime with her. By the end of the month, she felt like a family member. She was wonderful with my 19-month-old, my 7-year-old Cavalier and of course my newborn.
She is a true expert and I already miss her. Anyone would be lucky to have her in their life when they get home from the hospital.
She is happy, energetic and sweet. She was never pushy, aggressive or demanding.
I had a baby nurse for my first son and she was full of knowledge but her demeanor and demands were overwhelming during an exceptionally overwhelming time for me and my family. I am certain I will see LaStepaney again because she is truly our friend and we only want all of the best for her. If you have any questions or just want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me”

“Stephney is a real-life Mary Poppins! She understands babies and the journey that families go through like no one else. We were SO lucky to have found her”
