WHO THEY ARE
A Babynurse will take care of everything concerning the care of newborns. Babynurses have a deep understanding of the developmental stages of newborns. Most Babynurses are not Registered Nurses (RN’s) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN’s). Most have taken courses to stay current with the latest newborn philosophies and standards, and are CPR certified. The length of a Babynurse stay is usually between 1 and 6 months, but is negotiable depending upon the needs of the family. Babynurses will take special care of your newborn and you!
