Welcoming a new baby into your home is very exciting, however, it can also be very stressful. When I had my first child, I was so overwhelmed, especially since my insurance only covered 2 days in the hospital. I was not physically or mentally prepared to take on all the home responsibilities, care for my new baby and take care of myself. That is why hiring a newborn care specialist can help you enjoy the birth of your new baby and give you peace of mind that everything, including you is taken care of.
Loving Nannies offers two types of newborn specialists-Newborn Nannies & Postpartum Doulas. Newborn Nannies (daytime and overnight hours) are nannies who care for the newborn so the parents can rest, and Postpartum Doulas help with baby care, household chores, breast feeding assistance, sibling care and more. All Newborn Nannies have been specially selected by the owner.

A Doula, which is Greek for 'woman who helps woman' is a non-medical postpartum care provider. Our Doulas offer encouragement, support, and practical knowledge to new parents. This person is specially trained to give new mothers the assistance and "mothering" they need. My Doula, Valerie Paterson helped me before, during and after the birth of my daughter Eden. She was absolutely wonderful..I don't know what I would have done without her.
Doulas help the new parents with basic baby care skills such as:
- newborn bathing
- swaddling
- circumcision care
- umbilical cord care
- breast feeding support
- diaper changing
- errands light housekeeping & laundry

- Personal Interview
- Newborn experience

Rates and Fees:
Loving Nannies charges a flat fee based on the amount of time you are using the Newborn Care Specialist. Unlike most companies who charge a large hourly rate ($35-$45/hr and then pay the nanny or Doula only a portion of that rate), we charge a flat fee for finding you the person and the nanny or Doula gets to keep all of their pay. You also don't have to worry about the amount of time you are using the nanny or Doula since the caregiver works for you after placement. Please view our pricing here.
