Newborn care specialists exclusively care for newborns and young infants. They typically take short-term assignments ranging from a few weeks to a few months and work 12 or 24 hour shifts. Newborn care specialists not only provide newborn care, they support new parents as they adjust to their new role and life with baby by helping to develop their caregiving skills.
Our newborn care specialists typically have extensive experience caring for newborns and often have specialized newborn care training. Our newborn care specialists also have flowing references and a verified work history. All newborn care specialists should have current CPR and first aid certification.
Newborn care specialists may help you to prepare your nursery and select products for your newborn. Once your baby is born and you return home, a newborn care specialist will clean, sterilize and prepare bottles, if necessary, feed, bathe and change your newborn, keep a log of feedings and diaper changes, wash the baby’s laundry and establish healthy feeding and eating habits for your baby.
It is advisable to secure your newborn specialist as early as possible. Once you choose the newborn specialist that is right for you, she may send you a contract and request a retainer. Many of the newborn specialists who are in high demand will look for a commitment from you before reserving your dates in their calendar.
