Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the most common questions families ask about our care standards, placement process, and services at Premier Nanny & Newborn Care.

General Questions

What geographic areas do you serve?

Premier Nanny & Newborn Care provides professional services to families nationwide. Whether you are looking for long term support or specialized newborn care, we match you with exceptional caregivers across the country.

How do you screen and vet your caregivers?

Every professional in our network undergoes a rigorous screening process. This includes comprehensive background checks, verification of certifications, work history evaluation, professional reference checks, and infant CPR and First Aid verification.

How far in advance should we reach out to reserve care?

We recommend reaching out during your second or early third trimester for newborn care to ensure placement availability around your due date. For nanny placement, starting the search 6 to 12 weeks before your ideal start date allows ample time for custom matching, interviewing, and onboarding.

Newborn Care Specialists & Postpartum Support

What is the difference between a Newborn Care Specialist and a Postpartum Doula?

A Newborn Care Specialist focuses primarily on the infant, handling sleep shaping, feeding routines, nursery organization, and overnight infant care. A Postpartum Doula focuses on the entire family unit, assisting with mother recovery, emotional support, light family meal prep, and infant care guidance.

What shift options are available for newborn care?

We offer overnight care, daytime support, and 24 hour care packages tailored to your household's needs during the first few weeks or months postpartum.

Will a Newborn Care Specialist help with sleep training?

Our specialists practice gentle, evidence based sleep shaping rather than rigid sleep training. We establish healthy sleep habits and age appropriate rhythms early on, helping your infant learn to soothe and sleep through the night naturally.

Nanny Placement Services

What types of nanny placements do you offer?

We place full time, part time, live in, and live out long term nannies. We customize every search to match your family's specific schedule, household dynamic, and parenting philosophy.

How long does the nanny matching process take?

On average, the process takes 2 to 6 weeks from your initial consultation to contract execution, depending on your specific requirements and location.
