Wonderful couple based in Mid-City (think LACMA/LaBrea Tar Pits/The Grove area) are expecting their first baby (a boy!) in mid-May, and are seeking part-time daytime support! Originally from the East Coast with no family locally, this sweet couple is seeking the compassionate support of a newborn expert to assist them in this exciting new chapter!

Family is looking for ideally 6 weeks of coverage, with the potential to extend to 8 weeks. They are hoping to front load support the first 2 weeks, and taper down as they get their bearings (see sample schedule below), although they’re flexible based on your availability.
