One of the most common questions we receive from families looking for newborn care support is, “What should I expect to pay for professional newborn care services?” The cost of newborn care varies based on location, the level of care needed, and the experience of the provider. To help families plan for this important investment, we’ve compiled the average costs for our top five service areas: DMV, Florida, Texas, California, and NY/NJ.
Factors That Influence Cost
Newborn care services are priced based on several factors, including:
- The type of care needed—whether it’s 24-hour live-in support, overnight care, or temporary daytime care
- The location—costs fluctuate based on demand and the cost of living in each area
- The experience and training of the specialist—certifications, advanced training, and years of experience impact pricing
- The number of babies—families with multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) typically pay higher rates
