Frequently asked questions

What exactly does a newborn care specialist do?

I provide hands-on support with your newborn’s daily care, including feeding, diapering, soothing, sleep routines, and monitoring baby’s cues. My role is to help you feel more confident and supported while adjusting to life with a new baby.

What’s the difference between a postpartum doula and a nanny?

A postpartum doula focuses on supporting the parents emotionally and physically during the postpartum period, while also caring for the baby. My goal is education, guidance, and support not just childcare. I help you transition smoothly into parenthood, not just manage tasks.

Do you stay overnight?

Yes, I offer overnight care. During overnight shifts, I care for your baby so you can rest and recover. This may include feeding support, diaper changes, soothing, and helping establish healthy nighttime routines.

How soon should I book your services?

I recommend booking during your second or third trimester to ensure availability, especially for overnight care. However, last-minute availability may sometimes be open depending on my schedule.

How long are your shifts?

I typically offer daytime shifts (4–8 hours) and overnight shifts (8–12 hours), depending on your family’s needs and package selection.

Are your services medical?

No, I do not provide medical care or diagnoses. I work alongside your medical providers by offering educational, emotional, and practical support during your postpartum recovery.
