Newborn Care Specialist
A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) is a trained professional who supports families from birth through the first four months of a baby’s life.
Why Families Choose a Newborn Care Specialist
More sleep and faster recovery during the hardest weeks
Expert guidance so you’re not guessing or Googling at 3 a.m.
Confidence caring for your baby, even after support ends
What is a Newborn Care Specialist?
While often called night nannies or night nurses, an NCS is a certified professional who offers deeper expertise in newborn health, feeding, sleep, and safety.
Newborns wake every 2–3 hours, and your body can’t recover without real sleep. Exhaustion makes feeding, healing, and bonding harder than they need to be. Overnight support gives you the rest your brain and body need to think clearly, feel steady, and show up as the parent you want to be.
NCS professionals provide daytime help or overnight care, depending on your family’s needs. Many parents choose overnight support to protect their recovery and make the transition home feel calmer and more manageable.
Every Boram Newborn Care Specialist meets our rigorous standards for safety, professionalism, and family-centered care—so you and your baby feel supported from the very beginning.
