Dear expectant parent(s),

​

I am writing to give my earnest and enthusiastic recommendation of Tatielle Schmith. Tatielle lived with my family from January to September of 2020. She provided primary child care to my then 3-year old and helped us all transition to a new baby joining our family in March.​ When our youngest daughter was born, Tatielle truly partnered with us in caring for her. I combo fed, so Tatielle would bring the baby to me to be nursed but also prepare and give her bottles. She helped us figure out patterns in our baby's sleep/wake cycles, and worked with us when it came time to start nudging her to more of a schedule to improve her sleep (and ours!).

​

Tatielle is warm and nurturing to babies, children, and parents. She is thoughtful and conscientious when it comes to the "little" things that actually make a big difference in family life. She interacts with babies with an unfussy reverence - a calm, capable attitude that forges a connection and trust almost immediately.​ On a more personal note, Tatielle is fun! She brought a special kind of peace and joy to our home. She has a generous spirit and truly cares about babies and their families.

​

I would hire Tatielle again in a second!
