THROUGH THICK & THIN. A Testimonial….
“I called Ryan in a time of severe need. I had a 4-month old who wasn’t sleeping, a 5-year old who desperately needed my attention and I was going through post-partum depression. I was requesting a miracle —A miracle is what I got. Kate is literally in my phone as “Kate Lifesaver.” Educated Nannies saved my family. It sounds very intense but when you’re in it… it is. Kate spent 4 nights with us that week. My daughter was sleep-trained by the third night thanks to Kate. From there on out — pure bliss. My family is very happy and we owe so much to Educated Nannies.”
