Registry

Momma To Be?  Why Register With Crunch Care?

Dear expecting Moms or friends of expecting Moms,

The arrival of a new baby whether you are a first time Mom or a Momma Veteran can be one of the most exciting yet overwhelming experiences of your life.

My suggestion: Create a Crunch Card Registry with us and receive The Crunch Card as a gift from friends and family.  The Crunch Card is a gift card that can be applied towards any of our services whether you are looking for short term temporary help or a long term fit for your family.  All you have to do is contact our office by phone to register and tell your friends and family you would like to receive gift cards or select from our services to build a Registry credit.

Speaking from personal experience as a mother, this is a gift that can contribute towards your sanity over those first few weeks or months of transition (not to mention your husbands)!  One of the very reasons I started this company was the very obvious need to find reliable services quickly when I had my first son.

"It takes a village" and when you do not necessarily have one available, you can count on us for help.  Our care providers consist of Baby Nurses, Nannies, Night Nannies, Babysitters, and Mother's Helpers.  They are available to assist you in any way that you feel is supportive during this exciting, busy time.  From grocery shopping to overnight help, our newborn and post-delivery services are extremely flexible.

Warm Wishes,

Stacie Steelman
Founder, Crunch Care, Inc.
