What is short-term newborn care?
Short-term newborn care is a temporary placement — typically 2 weeks to 3 months — with a baby nurse or newborn care specialist. It covers maternity leave, the first months with multiples, seasonal stays or the gap before a long-term nanny starts.
Can I hire a baby nurse for just 3 months?
Yes. Three-month placements are one of our most requested arrangements. We present candidates who are explicitly looking for short-term contracts, so expectations match from day one.
Can a short-term baby nurse become our full-time nanny?
Often, yes. Many families love their short-term baby nurse and convert the placement to full-time. We also run a seamless transition: your baby nurse trains your incoming long-term nanny on routines and feeding schedules.
How much does short-term baby care cost in Florida?
Short-term newborn care typically runs $35–$50 per hour for day shifts and overnight rates for night coverage. See our Newborn Care Pricing Guide for current rates and temporary placement packages.
How fast can a short-term baby nurse start?
Temporary searches move fast — many short-term placements start within days. Call (561) 809-8955 and tell us your dates; we will confirm current availability immediately.
Are short-term candidates screened the same as full-time?
Yes. Every candidate — temporary or permanent — completes identity verification, professional reference checks, verified CPR/First Aid certification and third-party nationwide criminal background screening before being presented.
