What families say

Amber was absolutely incredible to work with. From the moment we began working together weeks before my due date, through labor, delivery, and the early postpartum weeks, she was the biggest advocate for both my medical and emotional needs.

★★★★★ — Paula, 2026-03

We had the pleasure of working with Amber for the first month and a half after our son was born. From day one, she brought a calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing energy into our home to help us get much needed rest.

★★★★★ — Geri, 2025-11

Hiring Nurtured Start was the best thing I could have done for my physical and emotional recovery after a c-section. Amber and Jacquie and Kasey were like having an extra expert team of Moms on hand. Despite being a mom to, now 3, there was SO much they helped me with and taught me.

★★★★★ — Sophie, 2026-05

As a first time mom, the first few weeks home from the hospital were incredibly overwhelming. I didn't know where to start, and everything felt so uncertain until I connected with Amber. Reaching out to her was the best decision I could have made.
