McKenzie was such a lifesaver in those early postpartum days! She was knowledgeable, dependable, and extremely kind. I trusted her completely and felt safe and secure during her overnight visits. Our toddler also thought she was the coolest! I absolutely recommend McKenzie to anyone navigating postpartum life and newborn care.

Testimonials

  • “Postpartum overnight support was the best gift we could have given ourselves with our second baby! We had McKenzie support our family two nights a week for our baby girl's first 8 weeks and we were so thankful for her help, sweet nature, and extra effort to wash baby bottles, fold baby laundry, or swap out bed linens. She always went the extra mile to help and I felt so supported during those tender postpartum weeks. Having overnight support and McKenzie's help in particular proved invaluable in helping our family navigate the challenges of the sleepless newborn phase with hope and grace for ourselves and each other.”

  • "McKenzie is the best of the best. We had a baby come a little earlier than planned and she was ready to support every step of the way! McKenzie helped us two nights a week for 8 weeks and was a God send (truly.) We felt so comfortable with her at the house and taking care of our baby while we got some (much needed) sleep. She has wonderful advice and really helped us get in a good little routine to help establish good sleeping patterns. She took everything I wanted to do/ listened to all my goals and found ways to best support us. Our baby had awful tummy issues and was up most nights for 3-4 weeks and having. McKenzie come to give us a break was amazing. Couldn’t recommend her more!"

  • "We just finished working with McKenzie for our second child and we’re even happier than after our first. She helped with transitions, nurturing our older child and of course, expert newborn handling and mama support. We love seeing Austin Infant Care expand and trust even if you aren’t working with her directly, anyone associated will be of the upmost integrity and sincerity."

    - Whitney M.

  • "McKenzie and her partner Demi came recommended to us from a friend and we are so glad our little boy got to meet her and experience her warmth and love the past 6 weeks. I must admit that as a first time parent, I wasn’t sure if I wanted someone who was a responsive caregiver tending to all my babies needs. That may sound weird, but I had this image in my head that my baby might be spoiled with that sort of approach, but these past few weeks I have fallen in love with my little boy and he is so full of joy and I know now that that approach is just what he needed And exactly what I want for him as a newborn."

  • "McKenzie of Austin Infant Care is simply wonderful. She helped us from week 1 of bringing our first child home. She is full of wisdom and invaluable advice especially for us first time parents. She also has an amazing network of resources for anything baby related and other doulas."

  • "McKenzie is an amazing support for local families. As an IBCLC here in Austin, I have cared for several of McKenzie's clients, who have all raved about the fabulous care she provides. She goes above and beyond in order to cater to families and help them feel loved and cared for during the huge transition into parenthood! Highly recommend!"

  • "McKenzie provided gentle and thoughtful care during the fuzzy first days of our twins being home and us adjusting to being a family of four. She was knowledgeable and kind while she encouraged me and helped me build confidence in my ability to care for two tiny people at the same time. McKenzie was helpful in managing our goals and making everyone comfortable. She was the first person I thought of to care for our third child when he was born and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family welcoming a baby to their home."

    - Melissa G.

  • “McKenzie was an absolute lifesaver when we came home with our second baby. She took wonderful care of our son, and also took time to check in and take care of us (I may have burst into sleep-deprived tears when she asked how I was doing on her second visit). McKenzie was incredibly kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. She discussed ideas to help our son with us and was very receptive to any ideas we had. We felt like it was a team effort to help him sleep well. McKenzie was flexible and super responsive to contact as well. We wholeheartedly recommend her to all of our friends and would definitely hire her again if we had another child. Truly the best investment you can make is giving yourself and your partner sleep while someone wonderful takes care of your child.”

    - Devin F.

  • "McKenzie at Austin Infant Care is wonderful. I initially had her babysit for my 2 year old and she has since cared for my newborn as well. McKenzie is smart, reliable, and most importantly, has good judgment. I trust her completely, which is such an important thing when looking for childcare. She is patient and attentive to the separate needs of both of my children. I have been lucky to have her help and give her my highest recommendation."

    - Angeline D.

  • "We hired McKenzie to accompany us on our family beach vacation to care for our infant and we highly recommend her travel services. She followed our schedule and was pleasant to have around our extended family. During times when she was responsible for multiple toddlers, she handled it great and everyone was happy and healthy. My wife and I were able to spend quality time with each other and our toddler on the beach without being tied down to a newborn nap and feeding schedule in the house. We will definitely use her again."

    - Kyle D.

  • "McKenzie is amazing. I had a really hard postpartum experience with my first child and booked her right away for my second. I wanted someone who respected my wishes to focus on the baby and less on me and McKenzie said she would support me however I needed. She was always there for me if I needed to chat or vent and made sure I didn’t have to wash my bottles or pumps overnight as well as baking yummy treats on occasion. She followed my wishes while adding in her expertise. She was with us for four months and made my experience so much better. I couldn’t imagine not having her if I have more kids. She is family now and we love her! I would recommend her to anyone to help ease the transition. You can feel safe and confident with her taking care of your precious baby."

The science is true. One thing I always make sure to tell parents in consults is I am a responsive caregiver. I pick up your baby when it cries every time. We won’t be sleep training (however, let’s talk about wake windows and dark nurse
