“Kasumi was an invaluable partner in welcoming home our newest baby. As a second time mom, I knew the importance of rest for my post partum recovery and the importance of laying a strong foundation of healthy sleep for a newborn. Kasumi joined us on our first night home and immediately provided the support and care all of us needed. Kasumi is knowledgeable, direct, and warm, providing guidance and suggestions to help us find a routine that would work for our family. She is an excellent communicator, highly reliable and available as a resource, even when she was not working. We trusted her implicitly and felt incredibly safe. Our newborn became a great sleeper, very quickly giving me long stretches of sleep that I needed. We thank Kasumi for this! I’ve worked with other Night nurses before and Kasumi is unique as a newborn care specialist - she’s thorough, thoughtful, and focused on building strong habits for sleep. We highly recommend Kasumi!”

“We recently worked with Kasumi and wholeheartedly recommend her! We had several months of sleep deprivation with our first child, so we knew that we wanted to hire a newborn care specialist at night with our second. However, we were very nervous about entrusting the care of our newborn baby girl to another person. As soon as we spoke to Kasumi over the phone, our fears were calmed. She is knowledgeable and kind. After working with her for several weeks, we can honestly say that she has changed our lives! Not only were we able to sleep well when she was here because we knew our baby was in excellent, caring hands, but she also helped us learn so much about newborn sleep and how to implement good sleep habits so that we could set our baby girl up for sleep success in the long run. Even after finishing our time together, Kasumi is always quick to respond to a text with a question or for advice about how to proceed. We are so grateful to have worked with Kasumi and to have her as a new friend.”

“Words cannot describe how amazing Kasumi was! We did not have help with our first and after having her I wish we had! Kasumi was kind and gentle with our newborn and extremely knowledgeable about all things baby. She followed our lead with any decisions we made relating to our son but also had extremely great suggestions on how best to help him have good nights. I had an unplanned C section and having Kasumi made my recovery so much easier. She became a part of the family and we can’t recommend her enough!”

“My first postpartum journey was hard and mostly I remember a sleepless blur of days and weeks. That’s why with my second one, I knew I needed help in those early weeks when the baby’s needs are 24/7 and I would be in much need of rest. Kasumi was a beacon of hope and positivity right from the get-go. Well before the delivery, Kasumi was checking in on me and offering her expertise. She even reminded me about some of the smaller things like remembering to sanitize the breast pump and having it ready to use! After the delivery, knowing that my newborn was in Kasumi’s expert care allowed me to get much needed restorative sleep! As a bonus, Kasumi would share advice on healthy sleep habits for the baby. All-in-all, I have relaxing memories of the early postpartum journey this time around and it’s all thanks to Kasumi. If I were to do this again, I would choose Kasumi as the Newborn Care Specialist again!”

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Kasumi who helped us with our newborn. As new parents, we cannot express how grateful we are for her professionalism, expertise, and compassionate care. Her support and guidance eased our anxieties and allowed us to get the rest we desperately needed. She is truly a blessing, and we are so grateful for her help during this time. With our recent adoption of a new dog, she was wonderful making sure the whole family was integrated and supported. Without hesitation I would recommend her to all of our friends but selfishly want to keep her for our future kiddos. Thank you for everything!”

“After experiencing sleep deprivation with our first son, we knew we would benefit from night assistance with our daughter. When I met Kasumi, I knew she was a perfect match for our family. She was so patient, kind and sweet and I felt 100% comfortable with her. She communicated all things about the baby during the night shift and helped us set a good sleep foundation for our baby. We are so glad we used her services and recommend her 100%!”

“We were blessed with Kasumi’s help a couple of nights a week for about 6 weeks with our newborn son. We found Kasumi just about a month into parenthood, as the up all night feedings were taking its toll on us. We had toyed with the idea of overnight care in planning for our baby, but couldn’t get our heads around the cost and how we would invite a stranger into our home during such a vulnerable time. When it became clear we needed some help to make it through, we began reaching out to folks. As soon as we talked to Kasumi we knew we’d found someone we could entrust with our son and inviting into our home. Kasumi not only gave us reprieve that literally helped me keep my sanity, but coached us on many things related to newborn care that were vital. Moreover, she was absolutely so patient and loving with our fur baby - a rambunctious Samoyed puppy. She was the best investment we made in those early months. If we have a second child, Kasumi will be one of the first people we call. Thank you for everything Kasumi!”

“Kasumi has been our family's Newborn Care Specialist for our 2 beautiful babies. For both our children, Kasumi was an incredibly loving, competent and kind carer, always ensuring our babies were happy and well cared for. She was also an invaluable support for us as parents, helping us establish a schedule for feedings, sleeping, pumping, etc. This scheduling made sure my babies gained steadily while being exclusively breastfed and got them sleeping well as soon as weight allowed. Kasumi's knowledge of what babies need and her smart baby practices took away so much of the mental load during the sleep deprived newborn phase. Kasumi isn't only phenomenal with babies, she is also great to have in your home. She is always clean, considerate and most importantly a pleasure to be around. Even after she has left, Kasumi is still a fantastic resource for our baby questions, and also a friend.”

“We were introduced to Kasumi when searching for overnight care for our son, and as new parents we were nervous and overly cautious. She was professional, caring, and attentive. We immediately felt her passion for newborns and helping families. Kasumi was with us for 2+ months, and she was so incredibly essential in helping us care for our son. She provided invaluable suggestions, recommendations, guidance, and always made herself available to answer any questions. Remarkably, within 4 weeks, our son was sleeping 12 consecutive hours. Kasumi far exceeded our expectations and upon reflection, we honestly don’t know how we could’ve done it without her. If we have any future additions to our family, we will without hesitation engage her again. Kasumi was truly a blessing for our family.”

“We hired Kasumi for a week of 24/7 live-in care for the first week of my daughter's life and as a pair of first-time parents, we couldn't have been happier with our decision. Kasumi immediately slipped into our family and helped us learn best practices for healthy infant sleeping, eating, bathing, and tummy time. The extra sleep we were able to get at night, and the help around our home during naps, was invaluable. We were nervous about having a stranger move into our small NYC apartment but Kasumi is the nicest and most thoughtful temporary roommate - even our grumpy cat adored her. We were so nervous to be on our own after our week was up, but realized pretty quickly that Kasumi taught us everything we needed to know, and she was only a text message away for the things we didn't.”
