I highly recommend Baby Parent Steps with Laura Liebig in Tempe!…read more Shortly after my daughter was born, I started looking for "baby and me" activities that her and I could do together being a first time mama. I found this class after reading an article in a Parenting AZ magazine and contacted Laura by email. I came to find out that this program is well established in Germany and is called PEKiP. PEKiP stands for Prague-Parent-Child-Program. It's activities are considered "group-work" between baby and mama to encourage baby's independent development. It's main principle is that baby should not be pushed into reaching milestones, rather the infant reaches them at his/her own pace. Laura also showed us how to observe baby cues and what baby clues we should look out for as they learn to communicate in different ways. The classes are typically small in size and are taught right out of Laura's cozy living room. Our babies were also similar in age. We met each week for about 90 minutes. We started each class by singing an introductory song using each baby's name. I loved seeing my baby's reaction to the song when it came time to sing her name out loud! In addition, a new activity was introduced each week and we learned how to observe our babies to the activity. This was a no pressure environment; one week my baby showed no interest in the new activity but then showed a lot of interest or would master the activity the next time we met! This was mind blowing for me! Meeting in such a small, intimate environment also helped us not only form a strong bond with our babies but it also allowed us new mamas to forge new friendships which are invaluable as we navigate parenthood. Lastly, most of the toys we used in class were homemade by Laura, which meant we could go home and recreate those items without having to spend extra $$ on expensive toys. However, there were some items we used in class that could be purchased at IKEA or Amazon if needed. This class is a MUST for first time mamas! I highly recommend :)

We can't say enough amazing things about Desiree / Elite Baby Services…read more We hired her right when I got pregnant and it was the best decision we ever made. My postpartum experience started off a bit rocky, and Desiree came in with such a fantastic, calm, and knowledgeable demeanor. You can tell she is the best in the business, an expert and has great passion for her work. She has been there for all of my many questions, and our baby is a fantastic sleeper, since about 6 weeks old. It completely changed our experience with our first baby for all the better. Our baby is happy, healthy and well rested! Thank you Desiree.

There are not enough words in this universe to explain the appreciation and sheer admiration we…read morehave for Desiree. Not too long into our journey as first time parents did we realize we were not enjoying a single second with our newborn, and instead we were pacing the house for endless hours with a screaming/crying baby. I knew something had to be done because my husband and I were at the brink of insanity (not sleeping for two weeks will do that to you). After much research, I found Desiree, and I have never looked back. I have told Desiree countless times she is worth her weight in cool. Prior to hiring Desiree, we had a baby that would not sleep in her bassinet, would only nap if someone was holding her, and wouldn't really eat. I quite literally coined our baby as the "gassiest, most fussy baby," and I remember Desiree telling me, "No you don't, don't worry I got you." She explained her training program and how things would be done and we fully trusted her and her expertise. Within a few days, we already noticed a difference. Our baby was now napping in her bassinet, was eating, smiling, and RARELY crying. Fast forward a few weeks, our baby is fully sleeping through the night, from 7 pm to 7 am. My husband and I can actually have time together to have dinner and watch a show after she goes down, and it has been the best thing for our marriage. At every corner we turned, Desiree was there. Any time I needed her or expressed any sort of concern, she was there to talk me through it and guide us on what worked best for our baby. She is an absolutely incredible human being and we already know we will use her for our next baby. Since we had such a good experience, we decided to hire Desiree for a year so she can be there throughout the different milestones and guide us on what needs to be done. If you are reading this at 3 am and sleep deprived, I promise Desiree is the portal to you finally enjoying your baby. We are forever grateful.

We met her before our twins were born, and she put us right at ease. She helped us get everything set up, and when our twins arrived, she was there to help us. Kristen helped us from 10pm - 6am Sunday through Thursday for the first three months. My wife and I slept like babies knowing Kristin was here watching our kids. Twins are not easy! We learned so much from Kristen, and she is still available to help when needed. She is reliable, trustworthy, and the Marry Poppins in our lives. She is always in a good mood, with a bright smile, and calm like the Buddha. If you are looking for help with the most fragile and precious things in this world, you want the best. Kristen is the best.

Best experience ever!!!! Kristen is a godsend. We hired her for postpartum night doula services and…read moredidn't know what to expect and naturally were nervous having someone take care of the most precious thing we have at night. The minute Kristen walked into our home we both felt a sense of calmness wash over us. Our baby loved her and felt so good, he never cried at night. Me and my husband on the other hand slept like babies! My maternal instinct told me Kristen is to be trusted fully and I was able to get such good rest when she was here (not the case with all other doulas I've had). She's also mega knowledgeable about everything baby and child related and cares genuinely about your family which is so important when you're at your most vulnerable. Finally she is extremely professional. Never once I felt like I had someone else at our home as her presence was both immensely supportive and ethereal at the same time- which takes serious skill. Hire her without hesitation.
