Sourcing Infant Care and 24‑Hour Family Support for Your Family

Understanding the Roles
Newborn Care Specialist (NCS)
A Newborn Care Specialist works on a short‑term contract, typically from birth through about six months of age. These professionals are trained to establish healthy sleep and feeding routines, assist with postpartum recovery, and guide parents through the earliest stages of infant development.
Newborn Nanny
A Newborn Nanny provides longer‑term support, usually from birth through the toddler years, up to around three years old. This role blends the expertise of a newborn specialist with the steady presence of a long‑term nanny who adapts care as the child grows.
Rota Nanny
A Rota Nanny, or rotational nanny, is part of a team that offers continuous, 24‑hour coverage in alternating schedules such as one or two weeks on followed by equal time off. This system ensures uninterrupted care while preventing caregiver fatigue and maintaining consistency for the family.
