An NCS is an individual who is highly-trained and often certified in their newborn care. Because of their extensive training, the NCS is equipped to confidently lead the way in the home, often offering guidance and education for the parents if desired. Their expertise surrounds all aspects of care for the newborn, including but not limited to sustainable sleep habits, diapering, bathing, feeding strategies & support, developmental milestones, and alerting you to any common/uncommon medical concerns so that you can check in with your healthcare provider. Additionally, many Newborn Care Specialists are experts in care for preemies and multiples.

You see, I think there really is something to the Scandinavian philosophy that “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.” Obviously there is a level of discernment that comes along with this discussion, but the possibilities for outdoor play become limitless when we let go of our desire to label weather as “good” or “bad” and just let it be.

Let me guess… you’re a new parent and you’ve heard terms floating like as babysitter, nanny, au pair, nanny, daycare and you are confused.

You want the best care possible for your child and you have no idea where to begin.
