ABOUT THE FAMILY

The Baby
This sweet couple is welcoming their first baby this fall, with an estimated arrival in late September to early October 2026. This is overnight newborn care from the start. Mom hopes to breastfeed and knows it may take time to find a rhythm, so support around feeding is a meaningful part of this role.

The Parents
Mom will be home on maternity leave for the full eight weeks and wants to stay involved in nighttime care while still getting some rest. Dad works in a demanding role and returns to work around the six-week mark, right as his busiest season begins, so protecting the family’s overnight rest becomes especially important in the second half of the contract.

Pets
One small, friendly, elderly dog who is mostly deaf and fully self-sufficient with his own dog door. No pet care is required. The right candidate simply needs to be comfortable around a gentle dog, with no allergies or fear of dogs.

“We’re hoping to find someone who can be that experienced, supportive presence in the room, help us build healthy sleep and feeding foundations, and guide us as first-time parents while being collaborative and respectful.”
