Kind Words from Families We’ve Supported...
As first time parents, overwhelmed and exhausted, our Nightingale was the greatest blessing that we could have ever received. She loved and cared for our son as if he were her own, and spent time making sure that we were supported in every way possible. From answering our questions to helping rearrange his nursery closet, her attention to detail is unmatched. We are so thankful for her, and she will forever be a part of his story.
We had a wonderful experience with our night nurse Charlie! She saved our sanity in the newborn trenches and brought the warmest most calming energy into our home. Mollie was super helpful and responsive in answering all of our questions before and during our contract as well. Definitely recommend this agency!
We had a wonderful experience with Well Supported Family. Their team was professional, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during those early newborn weeks. A special thank you to our night nurse, Nishante, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and caring. She made such a difference for our family, and we can’t recommend her enough!
Our nightingale, Sarah, was educated, calming, and a superb resource to us during the first hectic months of parenthood. She not only cared for our baby during the hours she stayed with us, but she was also available to answer questions during the day. This enabled us to feel like we were on the same team with shared goals for evening care. A significant investment, but I can't imagine doing it without support from our nightingale
We worked with Well Supported Family to find night help for our newborn. The intake and matching process was seamless and we loved the caregiver we were matched with. Highly recommend!
We highly recommend Well Supported Family. We were paired with Dia and she was so great with our son. Having night help in the early weeks/months did wonders for us as first time parents. We also really appreciated the quality of communication from Karina and her team!
Well-supported families linked us with amazing care providers. We can't imagine having started our parenting journey without them. Can't recommend them enough!
We had a wonderful experience. We were well rested, learned a ton about baby care, and are already set up to have our baby sleep longer. We loved our specialist and how much she loved our daughter. I do not know how people handle a newborn without the quality of help from Well Supported Family.
We had an incredible experience with Toireasa and highly recommend her! From the very first night, she brought a sense of calm into our home. As a second-time mom navigating a challenging postpartum recovery, having her here gave me complete peace of mind to finally get some essential rest. She has a natural magic touch with babies and is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and deeply caring. Our baby established wonderful habits under her care, and we are so grateful for her support. We miss her already!
Super professional and communication was stellar throughout. The newborn specialist they chose for us was fantastic (shout-out to Nalda!). Highly recommend this agency.
Terrific experience working with the WSF team. Particularly, we had a superb experience with their Doula Janice who was an absolute godsend for my wife and I during the first few weeks of our daughter's life!
My family worked with JennMarie through Well Supported Family for newborn care, and she was exceptional. JennMarie has worked with hundreds of newborns, and she brings a level of expertise, calm, and confidence that is unmatched. She helped us navigate the newborn trenches, from the witching hour to feeding questions to figuring out how to help our daughter sleep well overnight. By the time JennMarie left us after 12 weeks, our daughter was sleeping through the night and able to fall asleep independently, which felt like such a gift. Beyond her incredible knowledge, we so appreciated the warmth, kindness, and patience JennMarie brought into our home. We truly would not have made it through those first few months without her support. We also worked with Karina, who helped coordinate scheduling and find the right support for our family. She was highly responsive, easy to work with, and even helped us add hours when we needed additional support. We are so grateful for the entire Well Supported Family team and would highly recommend them to any family looking for newborn care.
As new parents, can't imagine what we would have done without Bethany and Keyana's support. The mental, emotional, and physical support and care is priceless during the newborn phase and we cannot recommend Well Supported Family enough- especially for new parents! Thank you Karina and team for taking such good care of us so we in turn could take care of our son.
Breanne is absolutely fantastic! She provided the highest level of care for our newborn, helping us get rest when we desperately needed it. She offered a great deal of support and guidance to help get our baby sleeping longer stretches, making an overwhelming time much easier on us. Breanne provided above and beyond emotional support as well, checking in on me when I was dealing with mastitis, providing support via text during her off nights, baking my family homemade chocolate chip cookies, and even bringing gifts for my baby and 4 year old. Anyone would be extremely lucky to have help from Breanne! ❤️
We had a wonderful experience working with Well-Supported Family. Mollie was incredibly responsive, always providing clear and helpful answers, and you could really tell she put effort into making everything seamless for us. We renewed our contract multiple times, and each time she made the process quick, easy, and stress-free, which we truly appreciated. Marcelline, our night nurse, was absolutely fantastic. She was consistently prompt—and took great care of our girls. We would wake up each morning to happy, smiling babies, which speaks volumes. She kept detailed notes, helped with cleaning, and handled everything with professionalism and care. Beyond that, she was warm, kind, and a genuine pleasure to have in our home. We are so grateful for all that she did for our family.
Our nightingale Hannah was wonderful. We had her come for 3 weeks when our baby was around 2 months and it was amazing. We learned a lot from her and she was very caring and gentle with our daughter. I would recommend this to any new parent who is struggling in the sleep department
We are so lucky to have found Well Supported Family! We had ad-hoc support with our first baby and knew we wanted more consistent overnight care for our second (especially considering the energy we'd need for our toddler!). Karina was incredible in helping us figure out exactly what we wanted/needed (3x/week, starting a month after birth, etc.) and our assigned Nightingale, Alba, was truly so wonderful!!! We met on FaceTime before she started to make sure our personalities matched up well and it felt very comfortable right off the bat. Because I was exclusively breastfeeding, Alba offered recommendations for feeding to ensure baby and I were both happy, came with suggestions to help stretch baby's sleep windows once he was ready, and was so accommodating whenever anyone needed to reschedule. We love Alba so much, after our second night, we recommended WSF to a friend looking for a night nurse. As our last night approaches, we decided to see if we could extend Alba! JUST HIRE WSF! They will change your life. Thank you so much, Karina, Alba, and team!
We started out thinking we would only need 8 weeks of assistance, and ended up keeping our night nurse on for 6 months! She became a part of our family. The absolute best investment we ever made was hiring Well Supported Family to care for our twin boys overnight. We will miss Amanda dearly!
My family has had the absolute pleasure of being matched with Cjaisey as our Newborn Care Specialist and Night Nanny. She has been instrumental in our success in becoming new parents to twins. She is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and kind. The experience and wealth of knowledge she brings to her profession has been invaluable. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to other families looking for assistance and guidance in caring for their children. Additionally, working with Well Supported Family was an incredibly positive experience for us. Karina was warm, welcoming, and professional from our first interaction. She answered many questions along the way and made sure we were paired with the perfect person for our family. We were also regularly provided with meaningful resources throughout our tenure as clients. I would absolutely recommend the services of Well Supported Family to anyone looking for childcare services. Cjaisey's professionalism and experience are unmatched. She is timely and reliable, both important qualities in a childcare professional. She approaches her job with a sure hand, which offers her clients the peace of mind that their children are in the care of a trained and skilled specialist. She pulls from her wide scope of knowledge and experience to answer questions, both simple and complex. She approaches challenges and questions by offering options and guidance, while always considering the individual needs of the family and child. When necessary, she performs additional research and is always happy to provide said research and resources to her clients. Cjaisey is also an uncommonly kind person. She supported our family through our transition into becoming new parents in a way that I wish was possible for every new parent to have. She is thoughtful, flexible, considerate, and gentle. It always felt easy to have her in our home. She quickly became an integral part of our village, and I will be forever personally grateful to her for her support and encouragement in my journey into motherhood. Cjaisey should be any family's first choice as a Newborn Care Specialist or Caregiver. Not only will she provide the best quality care available, but she will become a true part of the family dynamic. I will mourn the loss of her in our everyday life, but I know I will carry every bit of advice, patience, and knowledge she imparted to us throughout my life as a parent.
Priscilla was absolutely fantastic. She took great care of our newborn (and us!) and was a huge help in settling some anxious first time parents into a comfortable routine.
We had a really great experience with JennMarie through Nightingale now known as Well Supported Family. Having a newborn is exhausting and overwhelming, especially at night, and she made a huge difference for our family. She was calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. It was obvious she has extensive experience with newborns, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our baby. She handled everything with confidence and care, which allowed us to actually rest. Beyond just getting sleep, I learned so much from her. She answered questions, shared practical tips, and helped us feel more confident as new parents. Karina, who coordinated scheduling, was also wonderful to work with. She is organized, responsive, and easy to communicate with. If you’re a new mom considering overnight support, I genuinely recommend JennMarie and the Nightingale team. It’s not just about catching up on sleep, it’s about having experienced, steady support during a really vulnerable season.
An amazing group of professionals to help you through the beautiful yet fragile chaos that is bringing a newborn home! Cannot recommend them enough!! Our Nightingales Stacey and Toireasa were nothing sort of AMAZING!! Such caring, kind, and thoughtful professionals that helped us get the rest we needed to be at our best for our baby. We’re so thankful for them!
Jennifer-Lynn quite literally changed my postpartum experience in the best way. I trusted her completely and was able to actually rest and recover after giving birth. She was with us 4 nights a week. She was quiet, considerate, respectful and kind. I knew she was taking amazing care of my son, and she provided details about his schedule every morning. I am devastated our time with her has come to an end. I felt truly cared for during her time with us. I can't thank her enough. I wish she could stay with us forever!
Would absolutely recommend Well Supported Family. Our nightingale was Nishante and she absolutely became like part of the family, providing us with her knowledge and tips while working alongside our comforts and ensuring we were doing what we wanted for our son. She was honest and open with us on what she believed was working and gently helped us through transitions such as the swaddle to sleep sack. He has been an absolute amazing sleeper doing 6:30/7 to anywhere from 6 to 7 the next morning without needing a feed overnight most of the time! We couldnt be more thankful for this experience!
The agency was very professional and easy to communicate with and the nannies we got paired with were wonderful! We were so lucky to have them.
We had very specific short-term needs, but the team at Well Supported Family worked closely with us to find what worked best for our family. Each step of tne process was explained clearly, made simple, and completed expeditiously. Our situation was time sensitive, and Well Supported Family went above and beyond to make it happen for us. We are so grateful for the excellent care our newborn care specialist provided and the peace of mind that it gave us was invaluable.
We had a wonderful experience with Nightingales. We interviewed several agencies, and Nightingales stood far above the rest in how genuinely they cared about finding the right fit for our family. From the very beginning, they were timely, responsive, and thoughtful. They worked with all of our small requests and took the time to ensure we felt completely comfortable and confident in our decision. Knowing our newborn was in such caring and capable hands gave us real peace of mind. We are so grateful for their support and highly recommend them.
The team is so great to work with always checking in and doing the best to keep me busy I so appreciate them they do a lot to match me with terrific families 🌈
Well Supported Services was thoughtful, professional, and attentive from the very beginning, making the entire process feel seamless and reassuring. Tanisha was an incredible source of steady support—knowledgeable, intuitive, and deeply caring—helping me feel confident, rested, and truly supported during a time when that care made all the difference.
Our nightingale Jhenelle was wonderful. She helped us survive the first month. Always offered advice when asked. I felt my baby was safe with her. Ladies making this happen were great. Whole process was easy, they kept in touch - checking in. Could not be happier with the service. Recommend 100%!
Shannon came to us for night time doula-postpartum. Great experience and gave me just what I needed for support after I had my baby. She was kind, my baby enjoyed the time with her. She very knowledgeable and experienced. I would absolutely recommend her.
My night nightingale Thalia was a lifesaver. As a first time mom and not knowing day from night, she helped me and my baby sleep so we could be at our best during day hours. The whole team at WSF/Nightingales were incredibly responsive , profesional and I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a night nanny go with them.
Incredible to work with! Extremely kind, caring and empathetic while at the same time very responsive. The doula they paired us with was an amazing addition to our family for 5 weeks. I couldn’t imagine the start of post Partum without them!
Nadia was an absolute godsend. She began working with our son when he was just two days old and stayed with us through nine weeks, and we truly could not imagine those early days without her. We felt comfortable with her from the very start—she brought such calm, warmth, and confidence that we knew our baby was in the best hands each night, which allowed us to truly rest. She cared for our son with so much tenderness, but she was equally supportive of us as brand-new parents—guiding us, reassuring us, and giving us practical tips that made each week feel easier. Thanks to her, our son is already nearly sleeping through the night. She was also incredibly supportive of my breastfeeding journey. She offered thoughtful guidance without a hint of judgment and fully supported every decision I made. She helped me build a strong supply while I was exclusively pumping, and later helped me gently and comfortably transition to formula when I was ready. Her knowledge of newborns is exceptional, yet she always respected our preferences and adapted to our family’s needs. And I have to say—working with Nightingale as a service made everything so easy. The entire process of finding and booking Nadia was seamless, and the experience from start to finish felt thoughtful, professional, and supportive. We are going to miss her so dearly. Any family would be beyond lucky to have her.
We really liked working with Well supported family (formerly Nightingale nurses, when we worked with them). The process is super well organized and our contact Karina was always very responsive and flexible based on our needs. Heather, our night nurse in Boston, was simply amazing! You can tell she looooves babies and empathizes greatly with all the changes they have to go through as they adjust to the outside world. Heather was very helpful, took great care of my baby girl, and was knowledgeable yet flexible depending on what we need (to be waken up to nurse, to bottle feed etc). This is the kind of person we were looking for, and I got the impression that WSF has all kinds of night nurse personalities depending on what you need (eg more or less prescriptive, etc). We keep referring our friends to this service and would definitely recommend it. Start early so you have more options choose from!
We had a good experience with Well supported family and we loved our nightingale, Racquel. She was easy to talk to, punctual, positive, trustworthy, and I could tell she genuinely cared about our daughter! Racquel was great and we loved having her care for our baby!
Had a great experience. Ally was the best, and Karina made the whole process seamless!
We had the most positive experience with Nightingale and JoJo. I can’t thank both of them enjoy for the peace of mind and help they provided when my son was first born. Highly recommend using this service!!
Ally was beyond exceptional. We loved her from the moment she arrived. Her knowledge and expertise regarding all things baby—not just sleep, were more than we could have asked for. Her experience as a NICU/PICU nurse made us feel even more comfortable. She cared for and loved our little girl like her own, and offered so much useful information for parent training, from breast feeding and pumping tips to information about leaps and skill acquisition and regressions. We wish we could have kept her forever! Not only is she amazing with babies but she is just such a kind, caring, smart person and was a pleasure to get to know and chat with. We could not have imagined a better fit for our family!
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Jazmine, who has been our night nurse for the past couple of months, caring for our infant son. From her very first night with us, Jazmine brought a calm, reassuring presence into our home. She has shown tremendous expertise, warmth, and professionalism in every aspect of our son's care. If you are debating whether or not you should call Nightingale- this is your sign. - Sincerely, “an overtired and overstimulated mom of two boys!”
Melody has seamlessly integrated into our home and we felt so comfortable with her from day one. She is a great, gentle, soft communicator, is flexible, has a suggestive and understanding guidance style and asks thoughtful questions in order to make recommendations that work best for us.
We cannot possibly recommend Stacey highly enough. She became such a trusted, beloved presence in our family, and saying goodbye was truly bittersweet. Any family who has the opportunity to work with her should consider themselves incredibly fortunate—she is a total treasure.
We had a great experience! Nalda was our night nurse and she was so caring and good with our daughter!
It was amazing working with Nightingale! Our postpartum Doula Cjaisey was so helpful, kind, and wonderful to work with. She was extremely detailed in all her support and all the resources and guidance she shared. I could rest so easy knowing she was there and with Phoebe. I am so thankful to have been able to work with her and she felt part of our family in those special newborn times. She also was very professional in how she would arrive, take care of the baby products, and communicate around support!
We had an awesome experience with Jenn-Marie; she was great at troubleshooting issues with the baby and had a calm lovely presence in the household. Highly recommend!
Our nightingale Lauren was lovely to work with, always on time and took great care of our newborn. She was very kind and we knew our baby was in good hands every night. She was also accommodating to our schedules, very forthcoming with ways to assist us, helping clean pump parts and bottles in the middle of the night and insightful with information about a variety of questions we had as new parents. We would highly recommend Well Supported Family!
Erlisha was incredible. I will admit I was a little nervous to allow essentially a stranger in my home to care for my brand new baby, but she was so kind, patient, and caring that it made my mama heart feel at ease. I cannot say enough great things about Erlisha and how knowledgeable and respectful she was. She made herself available to me to text at any time, and went above and beyond to send recommendations and suggestions
Emily was wonderful. We are so grateful for her amazing work and care for our triplets. She has a true gift to take care of babies. We miss her and can’t thank the agency enough for matching us together! Thanks everyone!
