Austin Newborn Care Jobs: Descriptions and Pay Range

(What best suits my expertise?)

Night Nannies

As an Austin night nanny, you are a saving grace for working parents or parents with more than one child. Many of our families attribute their sanity to these services.

Austin night nannies work 10 hour shifts, helping new parents to achieve a restful night’s sleep by getting up with the baby, feeding or bringing the baby to the nursing mom, changing the baby, rocking the baby, doing the baby’s laundry and more. Austin night nannies are paid $130+/night for singles, with the rate varying for experience and number of children.

Newborn Care Specialists

Most new moms are overwhelmed with the amount of knowledge needed to care for their newborn. As a Newborn Care Specialist, you will educate new parents on how to take care of their baby in those first few crucial months. This includes helping the mother with breastfeeding or formula, getting the baby to sleep, and establishing a routine that fits the family's schedule. In order to work as a Newborn Care Specialist with Mom's Best Friend, you should have extensive training and/or related experience. As a Newborn Care Specialist, you will typically work 24 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week, for 2 to 12 weeks at a time. The Newborn Care Specialist is hired on a temporary basis to nurture and manage the care of the newborn. Household duties are not usually part of your responsibilities because your primary focus is caring for the newborn and providing expertise in all aspects of newborn care. Your compensation will depend on experience and client needs.
