Although night nannies may be a cost-effective option for most families. Reimbursement via companies requires a postpartum doula with certification at an accredited agency. With ICEA, I am able to also practice internationally as well.
Given my 20 years of hospital experience including time spent working at Stanford children’s hospital, I am very familiar with hospital and processes. If mom needs help after birth of baby and other parent has to be home with other sibling, I can be present for those 2-3 night while mom recovers in the hospital until discharge. This time can be submitted to insurance for reimbursement.
A birth doula would be best for this situation.
My certificate covers me for postpartum only, so once mom gives birth, I am available for service.
My primary purpose is to attend to the baby while mom rests. So, duties include anything baby related: bottle cleaning, baby laundry, feeding and general care for baby. A housekeeper would be best for house chores like cleaning and washing of family items.

Help with care of mom and newborn-including documentation, attending to mom needs (helping with meals, comfort, toileting, BF positioning and pumping, communication to staff while you rest, safety monitoring of skin-to-skin while you rest with baby), attending to baby needs (diaper change, comfort, feeding while mom sleeps).
I can, but it will be an extra charge. Otherwise, rest occurs when baby rests. A place to rest/sleep is needed.
A separate space for me is required for maximum rest for mom during the postpartum process. I can gently wake you for breastfeeding and help set up the process. When mom is done, I will bring the baby back to the room while mom goes back to sleep.
I speak some Mandarin having lived as a teen in Taiwan. I may ask for clarification if there is a term I don’t understand. My primary language is English. If there is any medical interpretation needed for consent of procedures, then a hospital translator will be provided for mom.
