We cannot say enough about the extraordinary care we received from NICU nurse Tatyana during our daughter’s stay. Tatyana went above and beyond every single day she was on to ensure not only that she was thriving but that we, as her parents, were supported, informed, and comforted during such a challenging time. From the moment she stepped into our daughter’s room, Tatyana radiated calm confidence and an incredible warmth that instantly put us at ease. Her attention to detail and her ability to anticipate our daughter’s needs were remarkable. Whether it was soothing her with the gentlest touch, making sure every monitor and tube was perfectly placed, or celebrating milestones—big or small—Tatyana made us feel like our daughter was her top priority, as if she were her own.

However, what truly set Tatyana apart was how she cared for us as parents. She constantly took the time to explain every procedure and decision in terms we could understand, leaving no questions unanswered. She made sure we were emotionally okay, offering words of encouragement, humor, and even just a listening ear when the stress felt overwhelming. On days when we were juggling exhaustion, she reminded us to care for ourselves too, bringing us water, finding us a moment to rest, or simply sharing her genuine optimism about our daughter’s progress. Her compassion was not limited to her words; it was in every action she took.

Tatyana advocated fiercely for our daughter and our family, collaborating with the medical team to ensure the very best care. She treated our baby girl as if she was the most special patient in the world, and for us, she absolutely was. Tatyana’s dedication, skill, and kindness have left an indelible mark on our hearts. We will forever be grateful for her care, and it is safe to say our daughter’s first hero will always be Nurse Tatyana. She did not just care for our daughter—she became part of our family. Thank you, Tatyana, for giving us hope, strength, and endless love during this journey. You are a true angel in scrubs!
