The earlier you reach out, the more options you'll have. Ideally, contact us 4-6 months before your due dateโthis gives you time to have a real conversation about your needs, review multiple candidates, and interview without pressure.
Why does timing matter? The specialists with the strongest credentials and most experience tend to book early. Families who plan ahead get first access to that talent pool. You'll also have breathing room to find someone whose personality and approach genuinely fit your householdโnot just whoever happens to be available.
That said, we know life doesn't always follow a timeline. Babies arrive early, circumstances shift, and sometimes you don't learn about newborn care specialists until the third trimester. We keep a roster of qualified specialists available for shorter-notice placements, and we've successfully matched families within days when needed. Reach out wherever you are in your journeyโwe'll make it work.
