24/7 Live-In Newborn Care

This service means a highly experienced Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) or Postpartum Doula comes to live-in with your family and stays from your arrival home (or agreed start) for the contract duration. It’s both daytime and overnight care, designed for full support—not just the nights.

Whereas overnight care handles nights only, 24 hour live-in care covers most waking hours too, so you’re getting continuous support, education, and routine-building.

Because this is high-level and live-in support, scheduling ahead is wise. Many families begin planning in their second trimester to secure the dates and match the right caregiver.

Contracts typically range from 2 to 6 months, with many families choosing around 12 weeks (3 months) until routines are established.

Even if you’re later in pregnancy or already home with baby, it’s worth reaching out—there may still be options.

We provide abundant hands-on baby and family support:

Care for your newborn: feeding (breast, pump, bottle), diapering, bathing.

Support for you: latching/pumping guidance, sleep routines, soothing techniques.

Household-adjacent tasks: restocking diapers/wipes, baby laundry, sterilizing bottles/pump parts, organizing nursery care items.

Continuity: Since the person is with you day and night for the contract, they get to know your baby’s cues, your family rhythm, and can adjust as you go.

Yes. Because this is a top-tier support option, it’s suited for families with more complex needs: twins/triplets, earlier discharge, extended travel, adoption/surrogacy, unusual sleep/feeding needs. The agency emphasizes nationwide travel capability and matching experienced caregivers to unique situations.

You’ll want to have a detailed conversation about your specific needs so the match is right.

Very much part of it. The specialist helps you set up safe sleep practices (e.g., back-sleeping, appropriate bassinet/crib setup) and supports establishing daytime/nighttime differentiation. Because they’re with you long term, they work on creating rhythms and gently guiding your baby toward longer sleep stretches and smoother routines.

It’s about both what’s safe now and what works long term.

Even though the term is “24 hour/live-in,” in practice the caregiver would typically work 16-20 hour shifts, 5-7 days a week, with agreed-upon breaks and rest periods.

Because they live on site (or with you), there’s continuity, but the schedule is negotiated in advance so both parties are comfortable. The key is clarity on how the hours and rest are handled.

Good question. Some reflection points:

How much support do you feel you want day and night (vs just nights)?

Are you expecting more than one baby, or have other children/siblings, or a unique situation (travel, surrogacy, health concerns)?

What’s your budget and how does live-in care fit into that?

How comfortable are you having someone live with you (even temporarily) and become part of your home rhythm?

Do you want someone not just to “watch the baby” but also to teach, guide, and build routine with you?

If you answer yes to many of those, 24 hour/live-in care may be a great fit.

Because this is a big commitment (caregiver travel, live-in arrangements, matching), you’ll want to review the contract carefully. The agency’s process includes a discovery phase, match phase, contract signing.

Key things to check: how far ahead you need to notify cancellations, how modifications are handled, whether you have backup plans in place, and how payment/retainer works. Up-front transparency helps avoid surprises.
