A friendly ear

Marraine Tendresse offers respite to parents of newborn babies, an open ear, and help to reconcile some aspects of their new situation as harmoniously as possible.

My sponsor being here helped me make a lot of progress, but also enable me to rest and provided a pair of extra arms for the twins.

I simply adored this service that provides such impeccable support. The pairing made between my sponsor, my daughter, and I was perfect. I feel lucky that I can count on the organization when needed. A huge thank you for your devotion!

Le service offert est vraiment incroyable et essentiel. Dans notre cas c'était vraiment ma bouée d'aide à chaque semaine de savoir que ma marraine viendrait.
