When Cortney moved in to take care of our premature twins, she proved the loving, tireless caregiver we had hoped for. She worked 22-hour shifts, grabbed sleep when she could, and focused on our newborns like a laser. Everything she did had only one purpose: to make our kids get bigger, stronger and healthier. She gave both of us a crash course in being responsible, capable parents, and never wavered in her commitment to our family.

Cortney is disciplined, serious, and enthusiastic. She has boundless energy, and an unerring sixth sense of how to care for newborns. Because our boys were born so early, they had special health concerns and needs. We were very worried about this, but Cortney told us not to give in to our fears. Once again, she was right. The stuff that kept us up at night was just minor health issues, and she promised to help us get through the rough patches. Once again, Cortney made god on her promise.

When Cortney was on duty, we closed our door at night and slept well, secure in the knowledge that when we awoke, the children would be perfectly cared for. Cortney Gibson is a serious, dedicated woman who travels around the country helping families get through the tough times. She will take better care of your children than you thought possible.

Hire Cortney Gibson and you will not be sorry. Your babies will be the ultimate benefactors of her incredible work ethic, her love for children and family, and her wonderful skills as one of the nation’s busiest, and most capable Newborn Care Specialists.

Cortney Gibson has been part of our family for the last six weeks. We would have been lost without her. Cortney’s years of experience with newborns enabled us to learn to become better parents. She taught us the basics, as well as so many soothing techniques that we would have been lost without.

One of the most comforting aspects of having a Newborn Care Specialist, like Cortney, is the ability to ask questions. Sometimes just knowing that your new baby is “normal” or “okay” is all that is needed. Cortney is able to figure out what the baby needs as well as the family. She will always be part of our baby’s life and we feel very fortunate to have had such a great Newborn Care Specialist to hold our hands. We now have the skills to be great parents, thanks to Cortney.

My husband and I had our first children, twin girls Molly and Mia, in March. After one week in the hospital we were finally released to go home, and it was at that moment that we panicked. Neither one of us had much experience with infants but suddenly we had two of our very own whom were completely dependent on us for everything! We were terrified! We asked one of the nurses at the hospital to help us find someone (a nurse or a nanny) to stay with us a few days a week during the first few weeks. She came across Cortney’s information on the internet, and we called her immediately. We left the hospital on Saturday afternoon and she was at our house Sunday morning at 7 AM.

She took the time to teach my husband and me the basics (bathing, diapering, etc.) as well as some not so widely known techniques for swaddling and calming, which are part of the “Happiest Baby on the Block” techniques by Dr. Harvey Karp, and they worked! These are not complex or difficult techniques, but things that my husband and I could actually do in our daily routine! She provided us with examples of schedules flexible enough that we could adjust them to fit our lifestyle.

We followed her recommendations and worked out a schedule that worked for both my husband and me, and our babies began sleeping blissfully through the night at 6 weeks! They are now 16 weeks old and they sleep from 7 PM until 6 AM, and they are so joyful while they are awake. I don’t hesitate to take my girls anywhere, we go to church (yes they stay in the sanctuary with us), I take them grocery shopping by myself, and even to restaurants; they just don’t fuss.

One of the best things about Cortney is that her recommendations are able to be attuned to different parenting styles. She was neither bossy nor condescending with my husbands and my inexperience, but an utter joy. I have enjoyed both her advice and her company.

I truly believe Cortney gave us the tools we needed to really enjoy our girls, and genuinely enjoy these first few months that can be so trying on parents.
THANK YOU CORTNEY!!!!

As an expectant mother of twins who spent 2/3 of her pregnancy on bed rest, moved to a new state and renovated a home while on bed rest, I had a lot on my plate. Needless to say, I did not have much time to think about how much more difficult life would actually become after the twins were born. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to find Cortney Gibson to help with the transition.

Even though I attended all the requisite baby care courses before delivery, by the time the twins were born (as is usually the case) I forgot most of what I had been taught. With the stress of bringing my twins home on Christmas Day and only half of the electricity working in the house, only one functional (tiny) bathroom, and about 30 workers scurrying around finishing the renovation, I can truly say that I did not worry about my babies’ well-being knowing Cortney was going to be there. To say that she was a help is a gross understatement (not to mention how flexible she was with my less that perfect living situation). Not only is she an expert in baby care, from bathing and diapering to complicated medication and feeding issues, but she will love your baby as if it were her own. There in no doubt that their well-being is her top priority.

Cortney is a certified instructor with The Happiest Baby on the Block, which is a well-respected curriculum developed by Dr. Harvey Karp that worked like a charm to soothe my newborn twins. She also has notable experience caring for critically ill infants; a skill I was looking for in a newborn care specialist, but was fortunate not to need. I did, however, have a son with severe reflux that worsened to the point that he developed a fear of eating and began losing weight. If Cortney wasn’t here with us physically, she was always available by phone or email with countless helpful suggestions, spending her “off” hours researching ways to help him. It became such a stressful situation that I brought her back to help. She discovered a method that worked and he began gaining weight and thriving. I am forever indebted to Cortney for her emotional support and helpful ideas during those difficult months.

One of the most valuable things Cortney provided for me was getting my twins on a schedule (“routine”), so that I actually had downtime while they were both napping (yes-at the same time!!). As a physician, I was well aware of the risk of post-partum depression. However, I also knew that two of the ways to help avoid post-partum depression are to get as much help as you can, and as much rest as you can. Cortney enabled both of these and I was fortunate to have not suffered from this condition. It was such a blessing to be able to enjoy every moment of my time with my two new angels, and I believe that Cortney’s presence was a key factor in keeping my spirits up during those physically and mentally challenging times.

In fact, we were so impressed with Cortney’s meticulous care that we were comfortable leaving town with the babies under her supervision when they were just a few months old. Although it was very difficult for us to leave them when they were so young, I never once worried about their well-being and knew they would be impeccably cared for.

Since that time, we have had Cortney back to visit twice (six times total) so that my husband and I could have two other short vacations. There was no doubt that Cortney was capable of taking care of our babies while we were gone! In fact, this fall we have planned a 9 day vacation overseas, and Cortney will of course be the twins’ caregiver while we are away.

Having a baby (or two!) is an overwhelming experience. Cortney helped make the experience purely wonderful, and reduced the stress in my life so I was able to enjoy my time with my newborn twins. Cortney is an intelligent, loving, and nurturing caregiver with an easygoing nature and witty personality. I am confident you will find her to be as remarkable as we have found, and am pleased to recommend her to you for infant or childcare without reservation. You will not be disappointed!
