What is a Baby Nurse?
A Baby Nurse is an experienced trained infant/newborn specialist who comes into your home
in the first weeks of an infant's life to assist Mother and Father with the day-to-day care of their new baby. A Baby Nurse
educates new parents on caring for their infant, assists in establishing a routine (eating/sleeping/wake schedule) for the
baby and provides lactation consulting to breastfeeding mothers.
Please note that a Baby Nurse is generally not responsible for household duties
unrelated to the new baby or for the care of other children in the household.

How much do Baby Nurses cost?
Salary is usually based on two factors: the amount of experience the candidate brings to the
position and the number of infants involved (eg. single, twins, triplets, etc.). Requesting a Baby Nurse through an agency
will cost around $25 for a single baby and $30 for twins. The hourly wage may vary for a self-employed and experienced
Baby Nurse.
