Overnight Postpartum Care
Overnights are 8+ hours of care to provide rest for parents and care for your new little one or little ones. We aim to ensure that both parents and baby have a restful night with their needs met.
​
During the shift, we will take care of feeding (if bottle-fed), swaddling, diapering, soothing, and helping your little one get back to sleep. If your baby is breast-fed, we will bring​​​ baby to you to nurse and then take care of everything else.
​
Additional options: Light, baby-related household tasks (ie, bottle sterilizing, preparing bottles, and laundry), light meal prep (most meal prep is during daytime shifts)
Daytime Postpartum Care
Daytime shifts are 4+ hours, and provide care for the whole family as needed. I provide non-judgmental care that respects each family's cultural and personal values. My role is to be a calm presence that supports rather than disrupts.
A family can choose to integrate as few or as many of the care options listed below.
​
Care forms include, but are not limited to:
​
-
Newborn care support, including soothing techniques, diapering, bathing, learning cues, and safe sleep education.
​
-
Feeding support for breast, bottle, or combination feeding, including positioning, proper latching, and answering common questions.
​​
-
Parent education and hands-on guidance to build confidence in infant care and parenting style, including tools to set desired boundaries with family and friends.
​​
-
Emotional support and reassurance during the postpartum adjustment period, including birth story processing.​
​​
-
Light household support related to the newborn care, such as washing bottles or pump parts, baby laundry, and tidying nursery spaces.
​​
-
Meal preparation designed for postpartum recovery.
​​
-
Sibling support to make sure the whole family feels cared for during the integration of a new member.
​​
-
Postpartum recovery support for the birthing parent, such as guidance on perineal care routines, incision care reminders, use of comfort tools recommended by healthcare providers, and education on expected physical and emotional shifts.
​​
-
Resource sharing and referrals to help families receive the best care they can.
