Postpartum Services
Our postpartum care specialist are trained to assist during the postnatal period (the first 6-8 weeks after giving birth). Our postpartum services typically includes a combination of tasks and activities to ensure mommy’s optimal safety, comfort, and well-being.
- Personal Care: Our personal care services are non-medical tasks that assists postpartum mothers who require assistance with day-to-day activities such as:
• Dressing
• Personal grooming
• Bathing
• Toileting
• Mobility
- Companionship: Companionship is essential to your mental and emotional wellbeing when relatives and friends cannot safely visit during this time to:
• Offer conversation and a listening ear;
• Help allay any worries about being a new parent or being alone yourself with a baby;
• Assist with nursing or bottle-feeding positioning; and
• Offer an extra pair of hands to help you with necessary objects so that you can be more comfortable.
- Light Housekeeping: Welcoming a new baby into a clean home creates a relaxing and safe environment for both mom and baby. Our postpartum caregivers can assist with light housekeeping tasks that include washing the dishes, dusting surfaces, vacuuming, sweeping and general tidying up around the home.
- Infant Care: We are aware of the importance of having access to close-by respite care so you may get the rest you need while still feeling confident that your baby is secure. For additional peace of mind, we can assist with diaper changes and keep an eye on your baby as they sleep. Additionally, we may pick them up and bring them right to you if you are recovering from a Cesarean birth (C-Section) to lessen pain.
- Caring For Other Children: Even though your infant may be your immediate priority, you still need to take care of the other kids in the house. Older siblings can receive assistance from our postpartum carers such as: helping with academics, playing outside, and other kid friendly tasks.
