Massachusetts 24/7 Newborn and Infant Care

If you need someone to provide day and night support for your family as you navigate parenting a newborn, 24/7 care might be the right choice for you.

A newborn care specialist is a highly trained individual who specializes in caring for newborns and dedicates a significant portion of their time to one family. They can work with your family for the first few weeks or months of your baby's life.

  • They typically work 16-20 hour shifts, 5-7 days a week.
  • The newborn care specialist will travel to your home and typically stay with you 24/7 throughout the duration of their contract with your family.
  • Assignments can range from 2 weeks to 6 months, with most families booking 24/7 newborn care for around 12 weeks (or until their baby is successfully sleeping through the night). Live-in positions last between 8-12 weeks.

A 24/7 newborn care specialist can take over complete care of the infant or work collaboratively with the family to provide education and support. Live-in care is tailored to the needs, wants and goals of the individual family.
