Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) Duties

Support that starts from the very beginning.

Newborn Care Specialists (also known as NCS or night nurses) are trained professionals who step in during those precious—and exhausting—first weeks or months with your baby. Whether you just came home from the hospital or you're in the thick of sleepless nights, your NCS is your calm, confident partner through it all.

Many NCS work overnight shifts, while others provide 24-hour care, especially in the first 8–16 weeks. Some families even rotate two NCS for round-the-clock newborn support. However you choose to structure it, one thing’s for sure: with an NCS from The Nanny Edit, you're in expert hands.
