This is only terminology that has been adapted to experienced qualified women who come in and assist mother and her newborn. The term Baby Nurse is not a legal term for a Newborn Care Provider and refers to a R.N or a L.P.N.
• It is agreed that when the NCS is required to be on the premises, she shall be considered to be on duty and active. As this is a night position, when the NCS is not attending to the baby she will be sleeping. The NCS is a very light sleeper and may have the baby’s monitor in her room.
• The NCS will give the client as much notice as possible for a night off, not to be less than 2 weeks unless she is sick or it is an emergency.

• If there are animals in the house that the NCS “feels” are jeopardizing the safety or welfare of the newborn or herself, the NCS has the right to ask those animals be kept in a pen, or in a closed off area while she is in the house with the baby/ies.

The NCS will never take a chance with the life or safety of the newborn, no matter how much you love and trust your animal.
• The NCS will not travel with Client unless prior arrangements have been made through and approved by Blissful Baby Nurse.
