Newborn Care Roles
What is a Night Nanny? A Night Nanny is an experienced professional who typically specializes in caring for newborn babies. Most night nannies are needed from when the baby comes home to about 8 – 12 weeks old. Some families utilize night nannies for longer or shorter durations of time and for different ages of children as well. Their responsibility is to attend to the baby’s needs throughout the night (Soothing, Changing, and Feeding) or supporting feedings by bringing the baby to the mom to breastfeed as needed. They can support parents by helping with laundry, fixing meals, or cleaning bottles, pump parts, etc.
What is a Newborn Care Specialist? A Newborn Care Specialist is a Nanny who has taken Newborn Care Specialist courses (typically through ) and brings their expertise and hands-on newborn care experience to support families after bringing a baby home. The Newborn Care Specialist typically starts with a family the day the baby comes home, and works for about 3 – 4 months with a family. Their role is to provide care to the baby and provide professional support and guidance to parents. They also help the parents establish healthy and safe feeding and sleeping routines.
