What's the difference between an NCS and a baby nurse?

While many parents search for 'baby nurses,' this is a misnomer. Unless someone is an RN or LPN, they should not be called a nurse. The Newborn Care Solutions Agency places Newborn Care Specialists (NCS) who are trained professionals specializing in newborn care, safe sleep, and infant development.

How do I know if I need an NCS or Postpartum Doula?

NCS professionals focus primarily on baby care - feeding, sleep training, and establishing routines. Postpartum Doulas support the entire family, especially maternal recovery and household adjustment. The Newborn Care Solutions Agency helps families determine which service best meets their needs during consultation.

Are your caregivers background checked?

Yes, all caregivers placed by The Newborn Care Solutions Agency undergo comprehensive background checks, reference verification, and skills assessment. We ensure they're trained in safe sleep practices, proper breastmilk handling, formula preparation, and newborn safety protocols.
