LINDENHURST, NY In early 2020, Lindenhurst resident Jacqueline Aiello was running her new business, The Nesting Place, and pregnant with her second child. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit Long Island.
Immediately, she had to make changes. At the beginning, the biggest adjustment was attending doctor appointments without her husband. After she gave birth via C-section at Stony Brook University Hospital, there were more adjustments.
She couldn t have guests over to see the new baby. In addition, she and her husband had to take care of the baby and their 2-year-old toddler without a babysitter.
