Infant Care
Matched babysitters with documented experience with children 0–12 months - CPR-certified and selected specifically for your baby's age.
Infant care from Nanny.nu means a candidate with documented experience with children 0–12 months, infant CPR certification, and verified references specifically mentioning infant care. Your advisor matches based on your baby's age, feeding routines, and specific needs - with extra-careful selection.
The first year demands a different kind of trust
Leaving your infant with someone is fundamentally different from leaving a toddler or school-age child. Every parent knows this. The stakes feel higher, the routines are more precise, and the margin for error feels razor-thin.
Finding a babysitter who can handle a three-month-old is not the same as finding someone for a five-year-old. Infant care requires specific knowledge - safe sleep positioning, hunger cues, soothing techniques, temperature awareness, and the calm confidence that only comes from real experience.
Nanny.nu matches infant care candidates with extra-careful selection. Every candidate presented for infant families has documented experience, verified references that specifically mention infant care, and current CPR certification for infants.
How we select for infant experience
Our structured interview process includes infant-specific scenarios. Can the candidate recognize early hunger cues before crying escalates? How do they handle a baby who won't settle? What's their approach to safe sleep?
References are checked with specific questions about infant competence. General babysitting experience isn't enough - we verify experience with the age range that matches your baby. A candidate comfortable with toddlers may not be right for a newborn.
CPR certification for infants is mandatory, not optional. Every infant care candidate holds current certification and refreshes it annually through our program.
Your baby's routines, communicated in advance
Your matching room documents everything the candidate needs to know before the first session. Feeding schedule and method - breast milk, formula, or combination. Sleep routines - swaddle preferences, white noise, room temperature. Comfort strategies that work for your specific baby.
Nothing is left to guesswork. The candidate arrives informed, prepared, and focused on your baby's established patterns - not improvising.
Starting gradually
Many families begin with short sessions while one parent is still at home. This builds confidence for everyone - you see how the candidate interacts with your baby, your baby begins to recognize a new face in a safe context, and the candidate learns your rhythms firsthand.
From there, sessions extend naturally. Two hours become three, then an afternoon, then a full evening. The transition is gradual because trust with infants is earned, not assumed.
