Success Stories

2001 - 2002

Carolyn Brule,
Maternally Yours, New Mother Home Services

When Carolyn was nineteen and in university, she was contacted by an older friend who just had a new baby. She was in her late thirties, a career woman, and an ex-university professor. She needed time to write letters to friends, finish papers, read new books and asked if Carolyn would take care of the baby for a couple of hours, twice a week to give her some spare time. Little did she know that they would be together off and on over the years and in different cities - Carolyn still in university and her friend needing someone to help her free up her time.

Over the years, Carolyn has had other friends with babies who had no other family in close proximity. They were having problems with breastfeeding and adjusting to babies and careers with no time for themselves. Realizing that parents needed basic support and help as well as help with breastfeeding, the idea came to Carolyn to provide a support system for new parents. She has created a business that gives new parents the opportunity to have a loving, experienced and mature person come to their home and help them to adjust to their new family role. Carolyn has worked with a variety of new parents - single, gay as well as couples.

With so many calls coming from new parents and referrals from past clients, Carolyn is planning to expand and hire other caregivers who have the same love of babies and families that she offers.
