As summer winds down, many families are preparing for more than just back-to-school routines—they’re preparing to welcome new babies. According to The Bump, August and September consistently rank as the highest birth months in the U.S., which means the demand for hiring Newborn Care Specialists (NCS) and Postpartum Doulas rises dramatically during this time.
If you’re expecting in the coming months, now is the perfect time to plan ahead and secure expert newborn care for your growing family. And when it comes to finding a highly qualified, trusted professional to care for your newborn, working with a specialized agency like Town + Country Resources offers unparalleled peace of mind.

What Is a Newborn Care Specialist or Postpartum Doula?
Whether you’re welcoming your first child or adding to your growing family, having the right support during the newborn stage can make a world of difference.
- A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) is trained to care for infants in the first 12–16 weeks of life. They typically work overnight shifts to support the baby’s needs while giving parents a chance to rest. However, daytime care options are also available depending on your schedule and preferences. NCSs help establish healthy sleep and feeding routines, offer hands-on newborn support, and educate parents along the way.
- A Postpartum Doula provides holistic support to the entire household. Like an NCS, they often work overnight to help care for the baby while parents sleep—but they can also provide daytime care, offering emotional support, infant education, light meal prep, sibling care, and guidance on postpartum recovery.
These professionals provide not just practical help—but confidence, education, and calm during a transformative time.
Why Work With an Agency Like Town + Country?
While some families consider hiring independently through online platforms or personal networks, there’s a meaningful difference when you partner with a professional agency:

Customized Matching
We take the time to understand your family’s needs, preferences, routines, and parenting values to make the best match—not just someone who can do the job, but someone who fits seamlessly into your home.
Time Savings
We streamline the search and hiring process. From reviewing applications to scheduling interviews, our team handles it all—saving you time and reducing stress during a busy season of life.

Why Hiring a Newborn Care Specialist in August & September Bookings Matter
With August and September consistently seeing the highest number of births, the demand for experienced newborn care professionals peaks during this time. Many of the most sought-after Newborn Care Specialists and Postpartum Doulas book up months in advance. If you’re due later this summer or in early fall, now is the time to begin your search to ensure you don’t miss out on top-tier support.
Case Study: Supporting a Growing Family from Day One and Beyond
The Wilson family, first-time parents, reached out to Town + Country in early June ahead of their August due date. They were feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of hiring a Newborn Care Specialist and unsure where to begin. Our team took the time to understand their concerns, needs, and preferences, and introduced them to three thoroughly vetted professionals.
They selected a highly experienced NCS who began supporting them shortly after their daughter’s birth.
“She became part of our family,” said Mrs. Wilson. “We were sleeping through the night by week 10, and I had the emotional support I didn’t even realize I needed.”
As their baby grew and the NCS’s contract neared its end, the Wilsons weren’t sure how to plan the next phase of care. Town + Country guided them through the transition from an NCS to a full-time nanny, helping them understand the process, establish a timeline, and interview candidates who aligned with their long-term goals.
“T+C didn’t just help us hire someone for the newborn phase—they helped us understand the entire journey. We felt supported from start to finish.”
The family went on to refer multiple friends to Town + Country and recently returned to work with us again in preparation for their second child.
