We are an extra, trained, set of eyes to support you through your postpartum period, providing referrals and activities as needed to support the mother, partner, and children's physical and mental health. Additionally, we offer night time support (8 hour shifts) to ease the family in their transition home. Shifts must be booked in advance. Daytime Support is 4 hour shifts - most often between 10-2, but flexibility of scheduling is available. Overnight Shifts are 10pm-6 am (8 hour shifts).
