What People Are Saying About Mommy Relief
“They found just the right person …”“I’m thrilled with the Mommy Relief program. I have a two-year old, a newborn and a full-time job as Executive Director of an organization. I have the opportunity to be at home for the first couple of months with my newborn, but still need to do some work from home as the head of my organization. Stonehouse found me an excellent Mommy Reliever who is helping me out a few days a week. They found just the right person, who I can trust with caring for my newborn, plays with my two-year old and helps pick up the never-ending stream of toys he leaves in his wake. The fact that she has had a background check through Stonehouse also makes me feel confident to leave and run errands while she is here. It has been a great help to a very busy Mom – thank you!”

“…truly cared for our daughter…”
“Being first time parent’s we were already a bit hesitant on daycare for our daughter. Once we found a suitable in home daycare, at two months our daughter was diagnosed with a blood cell disorder and needed to receive chemotherapy and various other medications that weakened her immune system. We realized, a social daycare was not an option for our daughter because of the threat of our daughter catching something that could have made her situation worse. I was reading my MONA monthly flyer and noticed an ad for Stonehouse Medical Staffing that was able to provide mommy relief. I decided to send an e-mail to see if they would be able to fulfill a P/T position for someone to take care of our daughter or possibly refer me to another company or person. I was so relieved they would be able to help us! Since Stonehouse completes an initial interview and background check, I was very comfortable meeting the candidates they had in mind. I couldn’t have been happier with the person we selected to watch our child. The employee truly cared for our daughter and I couldn’t appreciate that more! I also thought the staff that I worked with at Stonehouse to get this going and working with me, could not have treated me any better. Everyone was genuinely concerned with my situation, and always made me feel okay if the unexpected came up (when I needed someone or didn’t need someone at the last minute). We used Stonehouse for about four months and I was very pleased with the entire experience. I will forever keep them in mind, in case something comes up, and I am always informing new parents of their mommy relief program. Everyone needs a break sometimes, and we shouldn’t feel bad about it. Thanks Stonehouse for helping make my life a bit less hectic!” J. H. – Arlington, VA
“…they had “Mary Poppins” on staff.”
“The Stonehouse Mommy Relief services have been invaluable to our family. After a very complicated pregnancy and further complications post-partum I was in need of additional help and support when I went home. I needed someone who could keep up with a three year old, a sixteen month old, a premature newborn and a dog that had just injured herself. I called Stonehouse while still in hospital not sure what exactly I needed. The staff was responsive and called me the next day asking when I wanted services to start. Little did I know that they had “Mary Poppins” on staff. Our Mary Poppins jumped right in on the first day and charmed our three year old, held the 16 month old and fed the baby. This was then followed by navigating dinner time, bath time and a load of laundry. “Mary Poppins” continues to be a great source of support and help. The needs vary on any given day but she has helped organize toys, she unloads the dishwasher, does laundry and/or plays with the children so that I can occasionally have a nap or get dinner ready. The services and help have allowed me to recuperate so that I can keep up with my children.” J.J. H. – Arlington, VA
