NannyCity - Helping Families find the Best Newborn Care Specialists since 1990

What is a Newborn Care Specialist?

A newborn care specialist is a highly-skilled childcare professional who is qualified to care for infants. NannyCity is the way to go if you're looking for a newborn care specialist agency that can help you find certified care specialists to help manage the daily demands of your newborn. The duties of an infant care specialist are far more involved than those of a standard nanny, which is why the hiring process can seem more daunting. Here at NannyCity, we've been assisting families across BrooklynManhattanConnecticut and Greenwich find newborn nannies since 1990, making us one of the most trusted agencies around. 

What Does a Newborn Care Specialist Do?

A newborn care specialist doesn't simply provide care for newborn children. In addition to assisting with day-to-day care, a newborn care nanny can help educate clients on how to approach parenting for the first time. Common duties include sleep training, advising on feeding schedules and nutrition, and more. In most cases, a newborn nanny will provide live-in support during the night, allowing new parents to sleep undisturbed. When daytime rolls around, newborn care nannies will remain with your family, ensuring your little one is properly nurtured and cared for. An experienced infant care specialist will also keep track of feeds, diaper changes, and sleeping patterns to ensure your newborn is keeping to a consistent schedule.
