Relevant experience
Ask about hands-on experience in the role you need, including the age of your children and any relevant specialty. Years alone do not tell the whole story.
OUR STANDARDS
Care is personal.
Expectations should be clear.
A professional introduction starts with relevant experience and an honest conversation about what has been verified.
Training and credentials
Review relevant education, certifications, and current Infant & Child CPR where applicable. Confirm the issuer, scope, and expiration rather than relying on a title.
Professional references
Understand who has been contacted, what experience they can speak to, and what remains to be verified before your agreement.
Screening and identity
Request the specific checks completed for your proposed professional, when they were completed, and any limits. Screening requirements differ by role.
Scope and accountability
Clarify duties, professional boundaries, insurance where applicable, backup arrangements, and how concerns will be addressed.
Personal fit
Communication style, household preferences, care philosophy, schedule, travel, and rate all belong in the matching conversation.
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING YES TO
Specific information.
Informed decisions.
“Screened” should come with an explanation. Before choosing a professional, ask for a summary of the checks completed for that individual and any remaining steps. No screening process can guarantee future conduct.
Private identification, background reports, home addresses, and internal notes do not belong on public profiles. A family introduction should share relevant professional information with appropriate permission.
Talk through your expectations →YOUR FAMILY. YOUR DECISIONS.
We support the way
you choose to parent.
Respect for your birth preferences, feeding choices, family structure, cultural traditions, and household routines. No agenda. Space to be heard.
CARE FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
Start with where you are.
Preparing for birth. Settling in at home. Returning to work.
Tell us what your family needs. We’ll help you find the next step.
