We have been helping parents take care of their newborns for more than 25 years. Town & Country magazine has named us as "one of the 10 best baby nurse and nanny agencies" in the country. Our agency specializes in thoughtfully selecting childcare professionals who are skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely dedicated to the care and well-being of your baby or child.
We believe that personal, hands-on service best allows us to understand the specific requirements of each family and place a nurse or nanny who will thrive in your home.
Frances Stewart provides care in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, and throughout the United States.
Newborn Baby Care
Our baby nursing service will provide you with a highly skilled professional who is trained and thoroughly knowledgeable in the current standards of newborn care. All of our baby nurses work with our agency exclusively and we speak to every family they work with to ensure they are consistently performing at the highest level.
The baby nurse will take special care of your newborn, including bathing, diapering, scheduling the baby’s sleep, doing the baby’s laundry, and maintaining the baby’s room. Our nurses will always support and assist mothers in whichever way they choose to feed their child. If there are older siblings, the nurse will acquaint them with the newborn and make them an integral part of the baby's life.
Parents of twins can rest assured that their children are in the capable hands of one of our multiple specialists, nurses with years of experience working specifically with twins and triplets.
The baby nurse’s primary goal is to ensure that the transition to parenthood is a special and memorable experience. The time spent with your newborn and baby nurse should be a cherished and gratifying experience.
Nanny Placement
Our placement counselors will speak with you to understand the qualities and requirements that make up the ideal nanny for your home. This enables us to match you
