Home care after birth

Home care

An experienced neonatal nurse at your home

In the first weeks after birth, when maternity care falls short or has already ended. Someone with experience at home who monitors your newborn with the knowledge of a neonatal nurse, and lets you sleep.

Not a maternity nurse, not a doula, not a night nanny. A neonatal nurse with over 28 years of NICU experience.

Available in the Kop van Noord-Holland. A limited number of families at a time, so I can truly be there for you.

The maternity care shortage

Maternity care is short. Your uncertainty is not.

Increasingly, parents receive only a handful of hours of maternity care, and that time is mostly spent on practical tasks. And then, after a few days, you are on your own, with a newborn you don’t yet understand.

For parents who want an experienced professional at home in those first weeks, not for laundry but for their baby, this home care is available.

The difference

Not just anyone in your home

A maternity nurse does wonderful and indispensable work in the first days. But her role is different from that of a neonatal nurse: she is not trained to medically assess a baby. I bring something additional: over 28 years of NICU experience, at your home. I see in your newborn what others do not, and translate that into calm, a plan, and support for you.

Two options

Day or night, you choose

Day care

40-hour strip card

40 hours of expert home care by a baby specialist with the knowledge of a neonatal nurse, scheduled in consultation on the days and times that suit you. No fixed schedule, but care when you need it.

  • The perspective of a neonatal nurse on your newborn
  • Help with feeding, regulation, and rest
  • Reassurance, explanation, and support
  • You regain your confidence as a parent

Price on request, after an introduction.

Night care

Per full night

A full night of care so you can sleep knowing your baby is in safe hands. Can be booked separately, alongside or without day care.

A night nanny is often a student in their early twenties. With us, a neonatal nurse watches over your baby: someone who can tell the difference between “restless” and “not right.”

Per full night. Price on request.

Method

How it works

We divide the hours over the days, and possibly nights, that suit you.

You are not alone

Clear agreements and one familiar, trusted face throughout the entire process.

Important. This care is a supplement to the care provided by your midwife, GP, pediatrician, or child health clinic, and not a replacement. If you are concerned about your baby’s health or if it’s an emergency, always contact your GP or midwife immediately, or call 112.
