Testimonial
Katrina has been a tremendous help for me and my family... Having just had our little twin girls, with my husband back to work and no family help around, I had my hands full! Katrina would come over for a few hours during her lunch break and/or after work to help me out with the baby stuff, from feeding and bathing the girls, to washing and sterilising the bottles... Her visits would also allow me to take a little bit of time for myself, whether it was to take a quick shower or enjoy a small nap! Thank you Katrina for caring about my beautiful daughters, it was truly appreciated!
