I'm a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), what they used to call " Baby Nurse ", which is a confusing name since we are not nurses. To be a Newborn Care Specialist is necessary study, pass a test and have a Certificate, which I have, and not all "Baby Nurses" do. I've taken care of babies for 17 years. I've study four years in two Universities in my country of origin, Uruguay, 2 years in Communications and 2 in Psychology (I'm bilingual: English/Spanish). I've been CPR and First Aid certified and I've been over three updates through these years. My NEWBORN CARE CERTIFICATE is by "Gentle Ventures" training center (approved by the NCSA). I balance entertainment, safety, education and of course, the basic needs of the newborn baby, interaction, attention to detail, observation of their developing personality, taste, moods, preferences, I get to know the newborn to better care for them Read more and they get to know me and trust me, which is so very important to do my job. A Newborn Care Specialist also learns from feeding and sleeping patterns, identifying potential problems and presenting parents with options for a solution. It's also important support sorting through the "real" from the "imaginary" worries about the child, and provide comfort allowing parents to learn more about their newborn child. SOME SKILLS: Soothing techniques, Sleep Training, Colic, Swaddling, Premature Babies, Attending to Breastfeeding Moms, Bottle Feeding, Sanitize Bottles, Tummy-Time, Play Time, First Baths, Start Feeding and Sleeping Schedule for a Healthy Routine and towards sleep overnight by the end of Second or Third Month (Yes, it is possible!!) I use my playlists and I sing by myself to babies often, I don't sing well, but they do love it, it's actually a great tool (and I do have tons of fun doing it:) SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST: I have references, I don't smoke, I don't drive, I don't spend all the time on my cell (no social media), I have all vaccines included Tdap, I'm a citizen, I have no allergies, I keep a log always on paper (no apps for it), I don't own pets, I require an independent baby monitor (with no apps), I don't turn TV on, I don't travel with a newborn baby, I care for NEWBORNS (that is from one day old to the end of fourth month), I live in Stamford CT, I work 24 hours over 5 days and take two days in a row off, or I might work just 12 hours at night depending on your needs... PLEASE CHECK SITTERCITY "AVAILABILITY" WHICH I UPDATE OFTEN.

Nancy helped me out with my 2 1/2 month old daughter for a few days while I started to put her on a schedule and put her on the bottle during the day. I ultimately decided to continue taking care of my daughter for a while longer for personal reasons but was very happy with my time with Nancy. She really made this difficult transition so much easier for me. Nancy seems to have an uncanny 6th sense when it comes to understanding what is going on with babies in particular. She had even managed to put my daughter down during the interview which I have such trouble doing still as a second time mother. She is amazing and trustworthy and super energetic and I highly recommend her.
