MAXINE'S MULTIPLE BIRTH CARE

Specializing in Twins, Triplets, Sleep and Preemies...

 
After three months, our beautiful twin girls had completed drained us.  They were preemie, as many twins are, and we could not seem to break out of the 8 feeds a day schedule.  As hard as we tried, Sarah and Mia would only sleep for 45 minutes at a time and the 24 hours a day schedule had taken its toll, even though we had constant help from family.  We needed somebody to help overnight so we could at least get a bit of rest.

We looked for a night nurse or doula and on a last minute whim, we Google'd and found Maxine.  It was the greatest Google Search result ever!

After talking to her on the phone and by email, we couldn't wait for Maxine to arrive on that first day.  To top it off, Sarah had spent the previous two hours being completely
inconsolable.  Within 120 seconds from walking in the door, Maxine had Sarah calm and resting in her arm.  It was an unbelievable sight - like magic! 

By the next night, we were down to 6 feeds a day and we had a glimmer of hope.  Very quickly, she felt and promised that within 4-5 weeks they would be sleeping through the night and she was right!

Maxine is not just somebody to feed and soothe your babies while you try to grab a few hours of much needed rest - she is a teacher (for parents and babies) and a friend.  She is very experienced and really knows her stuff.  She understands the psychology and science of baby behaviour, and applies it with practical knowledge.  Most especially, she is compassionate, generous, and trustworthy.  We immediately felt completely comfortable with a complete stranger in our home taking care of our girls - you could tell that she genuinely loves her work, loves babies, and loves helping people.

We highly recommend Maxine!  We hope that she writes a book because she has so much practical advice to share - our happy, more rested home is proof.

Thanks again Maxine!

Doreen and Nick.... and our girls Sarah and Mia!

' Momma Max' is a woman/friend who saved my life.

She is beyond what words can describe. We just loved her and still do. She is superbly knowledgable, so wonderful and educated with babies. She frequently does triplets, so twins are a cinch to her. She can help you from the set up of the nursery--suggestions/ helping you with creating a proper environment for the babies to sleep- also helping with other aspects. We unfortunately didn't book her until the babies were 2 months. She would have had them sleeping through the night by 2 months had we booked her when they first came home from hospital. We had her 4 nights a week from 10-6.  I'm happy to refer her, She is very dear to my heart, and to that of my children. Melanie M. Mom of Twins-- Grayson and Kendall..and 3 year old Rylan.

Hi Maxine,

Thanks a lot for your service! It was a pleasure meeting with you! 
We were very happy with your service, so please feel free to include us in your reference list. We would be delighted to give you excellent references!

We will follow all of your advices. It is a pity we did not invite you from the very beginning. I bet our babies had slept through the night already.

All the best! Hopefully you do not mind if we contact you for an advice.

Thanks again!
Svitlana and Mike. Parents of Triplets -- Nicholas, Ella and Jane.

Maxine worked 3 nights a week for me from when my triplet boys came home from the hospital at the end of January through April 2009.  Maxine is truly amazing! She is smart, kind, caring and a wealth of knowledge about multiples and babies.  I believe that my family was very lucky to have had her and I would recommend her with 100% confidence. Maxine taught me tons of helpful tricks and she and I worked together to strategically train my babies to sleep through the night.  By the time that my 3 babies were just 3 1/2 months old (2 months old corrected) they were sleeping through the night and by that I mean going about 11 hours from their last feed of the night to their morning feed with about 10 hours straight of sleep in between!   My boys have been consistently doing this ever since and we are all happy and well-rested.  Believe me, Maxine is THE BEST!

"Maxine was a godsend when we needed her the most! She helped us through
the first year of life with our twin boys, and taught me strategies for
dealing with sleep, eating and childproofing issues, among others. She was
very respectful of our own wishes of how we wanted to care for our babies
and followed our rules without judgement, while at the same time providing
advice and suggestions when needed or asked. Most importantly, she is a
very fun, warm and caring person with lots of energy and willingness to do
anything for the babies, all while keeping them safe. She completely bonded
with both our boys, and they still remember her fondly now, over a year
later. There is no better multiples caregiver than Maxine."
