What is a Baby Nurse?
A baby nurse is a non-medical trained infant specialist with extensive hands-on infant experience. She comes into the home to assist new parents with day-to-day care of their newborn. Additionally, a baby nurse will educate the new parents on caring for their newborn baby, assist in establishing an eating and sleeping schedule for the baby, and provide assistance to breast feeding mothers.
What is the length of Baby Nurse Services?
There is no set time limit as to the length of time a family will need post partum care, however we recommend 7 weeks. Some families reserve a Baby Nurse for up to 10 months depending on the specific families needs. There is a 5 day minimum.
Do you have Baby Nurses with twins experience; what about triplets?
Yes, we have Baby Nurses who specialize in multiples and have extensive training and experience with twins and triplets.
When should I begin a Baby Nurse search?
It is never too early to start the process of searching for a qualified and trustworthy baby nurse. This begins by filling out a baby nurse reservation form. Once completed and received we will assign you a baby nurse, provide you with her references, and arrange a phone interview. Please note that we will not assign you a baby nurse until 3 weeks prior to your due date. This will insure that the baby nurse you are assigned will be available when the assignment begins.
However, don’t hesitate to call us if you have an immediate need. We have accommodated many families on short notice.
Can I check the references of my selected Baby Nurse?
Absolutely, all of our baby nurses have extensive references and we will provide you with names and phone numbers. At Caring Baby Nurses we believe that speaking with other Moms and Dads is the most accurate way to verify a Baby Nurses qualifications.
Can I meet my Baby Nurse in person?
Yes, this can be done as long as her schedule permits. Most of our baby nurses are constantly working so a phone interview and reference checking is usually sufficient.
How do you screen the Baby Nurses?
Our Baby Nurses fill out an extensive application, are then met in person and all references are carefully checked and verified. All Baby nurses have taken a Baby Nurse training course and are Infant CPR certified.
