Newborn Care Specialists

What is a Newborn Care Specialist?

A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) is your expert partner in navigating those precious first months with your newborn. These highly trained professionals typically support families from the day they bring their baby home through the first 60-120 days, providing both overnight and 24-hour care options.

Our NCS placements typically range from $30-40 per hour, reflecting:
‍
⭐ Years of specialized newborn care experience
⭐ Advanced training and certifications
⭐ Expertise in newborn development and safety
⭐ Support for both baby and parents during the transition

What sets a Newborn Care Specialist apart:

⭐ Deep understanding of infant sleep science
⭐ Expertise in feeding support (bottle and breast)
⭐ Knowledge of developmental milestones
⭐ Experience with multiples and preemies
⭐ Advanced training in newborn care techniques
⭐ Ability to help establish healthy routines

Daily Responsibilities Include:

⭐ Supporting infant feeding and sleep schedules
⭐ Monitoring baby's growth and development
⭐ Managing all baby-related spaces and supplies
⭐ Maintaining feeding and changing stations
⭐ Handling baby's laundry and room organization
⭐ Providing evidence-based newborn care
⭐ Teaching parents infant care techniques
⭐ Supporting family's transition to parenthood

We carefully screen each NCS for:

⭐ Verified newborn care experience
⭐ Specialized training certifications
⭐ Professional references
⭐ Current safety credentials
⭐ Proven track record with families

Plan Ahead: Just like birth doulas, the best NCS providers book months in advance. We recommend starting your search early in pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date. Most of our clients lock in their care at the middle-end of their first trimester.
