Recent Testimonials
"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 is amazing and is a huge blessing to our family! She provided excellent care to our boys (who were newborn and age 2 when she started with us). She is responsible, fun spirited, and she really made an effort to connect with and engage our boys right from the start. Our youngest had significant medical issues when he was born, and McKenzie was able to provide reliable, comforting care to both him and his older brother as we navigated that difficult time. She traveled with us as well, and just fit seamlessly into the family, anticipating our needs and caring for and tending to our young boys. McKenzie will always have a special place in our family's heart!"
- Amber R.
"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.
"I'm not exaggerating when I say that McKenzie was like our guardian angel! She flew across the world to help a mother in need. I had just given birth to my firstborn and had a really rough time. I couldn't walk because of an injury to my knee and my daughter had reflux and was allergic to regular milk for babies so even breastfeeding did not go as planned. I was devastated. I didn't feel joyful or excitement about starting my mom life. Instead I felt a lot of anxiety and fear. I said this to McKenzie and she immediately booked a flight. I was so grateful even then. McKenzie changed me, changed us. She listened to my sadness and didn't judge, she held Elizabeth and helped feed her and take care of her. I had time to take a nap, recover and just be me again. After a week, we even went outside with the baby. I felt at ease and for the first time I really enjoyed being a mom and my anxiety and fear began to fade. Finally there was room for love and excitement. I had the most nutritious meals, a happy kiddo and some time to spend with my husband. I can't even put to words how grateful I am for McKenzie. We had her with us for 2 weeks and even then we quickly felt like ourselves again. She became a part of our little family."
