I
have designed this site to give some information to parents
and to answer some frequently asked questions regarding baby
nurses" . A baby nurse is a new born specialist. Most
baby nurses are not registered nurses or licensed practical
nurses. Rather, they are people with a deep understanding
of the developmental and physical stages of newborns. Most
have taken courses to stay current with the latest newborn
philosophies. Some have even completed special programs to
enhance their skills and comfort level.
Baby
Nurses will take special care of your newborn. They will help
teach the parents how to care for their infant including bathing,
feeding, diapering, dressing, laundry and maintenance of the
baby’s room. They will help get the baby on a schedule, which
will help the parents sleeping pattern once the baby nurse
leaves.
Baby
nurses usually work 24 hours at a daily rate of :
$200-250.00
for one child
$250-350.00
for twins
$400-500.00
for triplets
The
time a baby nurse stays with a family is usually between 1-6
months, but is negotiable depending upon the needs of the
family.
Interviewing
a baby nurse can be as simple as having a phone conversation,
a physical interview and/or both. Some families believe it
is also appropriate to have the baby nurse meet with the mother’s
doctors along with the pediatrician. Some baby nurses go to
the hospital and bring the "family" home, or just
meet the parents at their home after the hospital.
The
time you spend with the baby nurse should be pleasant and
gratifying. Because the family and the baby nurse will spend
many hours together, I encourage meeting and interviewing
candidates to make sure their skills and personality is the
right fit for you and your family. Remember, most importantly,
Check References.
