Mommies Helping Mommies Saved my Marriage

During the week, our nanny agency receives many calls from clients thanking my staff with what a wonderful job they have done finding them a perfect nanny for their family. A few weeks back I saw a message on my desk from my assistant. “Mrs. X called to say MHM saved her marriage.”
Did I read this wrong? I know we offer outstanding support to our clients but saving their marriage? That was a new one. I called Samantha into my office to ask if there were any more details with the message. “No, that's all she asked to leave.” After thinking about it for a bit and feeling myself becoming more and more curious, I had to give her a call to find out exactly what she meant. After getting her voice mail, I decided to let it go and ask her next time she called. Later that day I was amazed to receive an email from her.

“I am sure you are aware that we have been using your services for a little less than three years now. I honestly have to say I did not know what you were speaking of when you said your agency not only supports your clients during our hiring process but also during our employment with our nanny. I though it was just something you say to new clients and did not expect it to be any different than working with any other nanny agency.

You are not aware of this but when I first began using your services my marriage was not in a good place. My husband and I had two children, worked long hours and hardly spent any quality time together. We had our two children in daycare, since the social interaction was something I wanted for them. Our children had never been in daycare before and were getting hit hard with all the colds kids get that first year of school. We were staying home at least three days per month with each of our children and our jobs were beginning to suffer because of it. This caused even more tension in my marriage. My husband was convinced we needed to hire a full time nanny and that they would not be a sick if they were not in daycare. I felt a huge importance to have them stay with their friends and continue to grow the connections to teachers and peers they were developing. I was on an online community forum where I saw a newsletter your company posted. I found out you offered a daily membership and quickly called the number. It was refreshing to hear I did not have to pay a registration fee upfront and that I would just be billed for the days I needed, whether that be one day or 14 days a month. I did not know what to expect from a nanny service I did not have to pay a huge fee for and decided to stay home for the first few hours to see how things would go. I was amazed at how quickly the nanny went into their routine and how connected my kids seemed to be with her.

After a few hours, I figured it would be alright to go into the office for a few hours and get some much needed work done. When I returned home, my children were still having a great time. They were so into the art project they were doing, they barely even noticed me come through the door. We had her come the next day and it was better than the day before. I was happy I could go into the office without having my husband come home from his and he was happy about it too. We had finally figured out a way to make it work. We went on using your daily membership for our back up childcare and then began using a sitter for date nights and some weekends. I was beginning to feel good about things, my husband and I had more time to connect and we were beginning to repair all the years of neglect we had been feeling from begin so busy with family, work and life in general. We were able to be a bit spontaneous again because we are able to find a wonderful nanny from your services with such little notice. Our marriage was feeling fun again for both of us.

I soon discovered I was pregnant with our third child. I was excited but at the same time a bit nervous. It was during this time I also discovered I was getting a promotion at work. I did not know what I was going to do once the baby was born and began thinking of what all my options would be for childcare. Our boys were going to pre-school this next year and I decided it would be best to hire a nanny for our daughter. We decided to have Mommies Helping Mommies refer nannies to us and were shocked again at the level and support we received from everyone from your agency.

The nannies you referred to us for interviews were everything we were looking for in a nanny. My husband and I were happy to find out the hardest part about the whole process was deciding which nanny we were going to work with after falling in love with three of the nannies you referred. After working trial dates with all three, we chose our nanny. She has been with us ever since and has become a large part of this family. My husband and I joke around all the time about how Mommies Helping Mommies saved our marriage and then it occurred to us the other night how much Mommies Helping Mommies really has saved our marriage. I have worked with other nanny agencies in the past and not one offered nearly the level of support your agency has offered to our family. I felt we always had to fit into the agency's mold and work around when the nanny is available. Your staff worked with us through all the different levels of our childcare needs over the last few years with professionalism and warmth. I never imagined I would be able to have the level of support I have had from anyone other than my family and friends.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful support you and your agency have shown me throughout the last few years. Most of all, thank you for saving my marriage!”

For all the mothers and parents we have assisted over the years, we are happy we could do so with the level of support you deserve when working with a professional nanny agency. We look forward to working with all of you in the future. Even if that means saving your marriage.
