Since 1994, we&#8217;ve matched Austin families with caregivers, including many whose path to parenthood came through surrogacy, adoption, or foster-to-adopt.<\/p>\n<p>Those paths take a lot of planning, patience, and heart, and the timeline can shift without warning. A delivery date moves. A match comes together sooner than expected.

They feed, change, and soothe your baby, and they&#8217;re sleep training experts. Most have worked with our families before. (TIP: Newborn caregivers are often booked months in advance, so reach out as soon as you have a due date or a match. We can sometimes accommodate immediate requests, so try us even if time is short.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.momsbestfriend.com\/austin\/find-austin-nannies\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Austin daytime newborn nannies.<\/span><\/a> When your leave ends or your baby grows, our Austin nannies step in.

Earlier is better, but tell us your timeline even if it&#8217;s tight.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What if our timeline changes?<\/span><br \/>\nDelivery dates and placements can shift. Tell us as soon as you know, and we&#8217;ll talk through your options.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What&#8217;s the difference between a newborn care specialist and a night nanny?<\/span><br \/>\nThe titles overlap, and you may also hear &#8220;baby nurse.&#8221; The main difference is level of experience. Our staff can provide you with more information about the two options.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Can our overnight caregiver become our nanny later?<\/span><br \/>\nThey&#8217;re separate teams, so you&#8217;d begin a new search.
