New Baby and New Mother Home Care

The new mother in today's world is often left at home alone with her baby within days of the birth, tired, bewildered and confused, and totally unprepared for the reality of life after baby. She may find herself having to tend to her daily activities (cook, laundress, and chauffeur) as though she had not just given birth.

New as well as experienced parents soon realize that babies require a lot of work. Meeting the constant needs of a newborn involves time and energy and often takes parents away from other responsibilities in the home.

An SRC caretaker is a wonderful helper and friend for a new mother as well as her family. An experienced companion, she assists the new mother with her recovery from the birth experience and takes care of the mother's postpartum needs so that the mother will be available to meet her new baby's needs and spend this special time bonding with the baby.

By mixing support for the parents with good ol' fun and games for the older kids, postpartum caretakers offer some much needed attention for children with a new baby brother or sister in the house. Caretakers can create fun times for siblings as well as facilitate quality time with Mom and Dad. The postpartum caretaker supports the growing family by helping the siblings through their own adjustment process.

One area where the postpartum caretaker is always appreciated is in the kitchen. Caretakers can take the load off other family members by grocery shopping, planning and preparing easy meals for the entire family. And kitchen clean up is a breeze when your caretaker does it!

Postpartum caretakers also offer practical household assistance to the entire family. This usually consists of anything Mom would be doing for her family if she were not busy with a new baby. It can include picking up Dad's suit at the cleaners or taking Junior to Little League practice. Caretakers also help Mom and baby get to any necessary doctor appointments.
