Understanding the Roles
Newborn Care Specialist (NCS)
A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) is a short‑term, highly trained infant care professional who typically supports families from birth through the first three to six months. NCS providers specialize in newborn sleep shaping, feeding routines, postpartum support, and early developmental guidance. They help establish healthy foundations in the earliest days and nights, offering expert overnight newborn care and structured systems for new parents.
Newborn Nanny
A Newborn Nanny offers long‑term infant care, supporting families from birth through toddlerhood—usually up to age three. This role blends the specialized knowledge of newborn care with the consistency of a dedicated nanny who evolves alongside your child. Newborn nannies provide daytime or full‑time support, gradually transitioning from newborn needs to developmental activities, routines, and early childhood structure.
Rota Nanny (Rotational Nanny)
A Rota Nanny, or rotational nanny, works as part of a coordinated team to provide continuous 24/7 newborn and childcare coverage. Schedules often include one or two weeks on followed by equal time off, ensuring uninterrupted care without caregiver fatigue. Rota nanny arrangements are ideal for families needing round‑the‑clock support, travel‑ready childcare, or seamless consistency across changing schedules and household routines.
