I will go "on call" at 36 weeks until you give birth. I'll be available and ready for whenever you go into labor and request my support.

I will arrive at your home, birthing center, or hospital whenever you request my presence. The "Big Day" will be as such; it will be the day where your baby will be born. Throughout the "Big Day" I will stay with you, I will support you physically and emotionally, I will empower you and I will  continue to educate you as you go through labor. Once baby is born I will remain with you until approximately 2 hours after birth or whenever you feel comfortable for me to step out.

Within the first 2 weeks after your birth, we will schedule our Postpartum Visit where I'll meet you at home to discuss your birth experience, provide lactation support, discuss your postpartum plans, and provide resources and referrals as requested.

A Newborn Care Specialist usually starts with a family on the day they bring baby home from the hospital or the day of home birth and stays typically for up to 3-4 months to guide and educate new parents and offer hands-on care to the newborn(s) to help establish feeding, routine, and healthy sleep habits. Most often, a Newborn Care Specialist will handle the overnight care so that a new parent can rest and recover from birth or adapt to new parenthood if the baby is adopted or via surrogate. If required, an NCS will offer around-the-clock or daytime support as well.

A Newborn Care Specialist is explicitly trained in all aspects of newborn care and will have many years of experience with families during the first few months with a newborn. They will be able to help parents feel confident in their care of their precious newborn and will be familiar with common issues such as reflux and have proven solutions and resources to help. A Night Nanny works typically under the direct guidance of the parents, they may or may not have any formal education in the care of newborns, and this is often an add on to their daytime work.
