Newborn Care Specialist (NCS)
The first weeks of your baby’s life are precious — and they set the tone for healthy sleep habits, feeding success, and a smooth family adjustment.
As a Certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), my focus is on providing expert, hands-on care for your newborn so you can rest, recover, and feel confident in your baby’s routine.
When to Choose NCS Support
NCS care is ideal for families who:
- Need specialized newborn care beyond the first 1–2 weeks after birth
- Want guidance on sleep conditioning and feeding schedules
- Prefer help during overnight hours so parents can sleep while the baby is safely cared for
- May not require postpartum recovery support for the birthing parent but still want professional baby care
An NCS is typically hired for 6–8 weeks, with the option to extend services based on your family’s needs.
Day Shift vs. Night Shift Care
Daytime NCS Care often includes:
- Supporting parents in active newborn care throughout the day
- Feeding assistance (breast/chest or bottle)
- Monitoring developmental cues and behaviors
- Light baby-related household tasks (laundry, cleaning bottles and pump parts)
- Parent education on soothing, swaddling, and safe sleep practices
Overnight NCS Care focuses on:
- Direct supervision of your baby throughout the night — I prefer to be physically near the baby rather than relying solely on a monitor, so I can hear breathing patterns and provide immediate comfort if needed
- Feeding your baby or bringing them to you for feeding, depending on your preference
- Tracking feeding times, diaper changes, and sleep patterns for your records
- Keeping all baby items clean and ready for the next day
