Our Newborn Care Team

The skilled support your family has been looking for.

Our newborn care team members are carefully selected to provide nurturing, comprehensive care at the highest level. While we are based in Dallas, we have a wide network of exceptional postpartum care providers available nationwide to support your growing family.

Our Newborn Care Team

We only work with the best nannies and newborn care professionals. Our qualification standards are some of the highest in the industry and with decades of experience working with new parents, we truly understand what families really need when they bring home a new addition.

With a network of the most experienced and educated caregivers in the country, parents can rest assured that Gibson Newborn Services will continue to lead the way in providing you and your new baby with the non-judgmental support and nurturing care you deserve.

OUR SCREENING PROCESS

All caregivers on the Gibson Newborn Services registry have been through our rigorous application process, which includes an interview with our staff, skills assessment, extensive background screening, identity verification, and reference checks.

Many of our professionals have personally trained with our founder and industry leader, Cortney Gibson, and have attended her newborn care seminars. New NCS team members must complete and pass the most comprehensive training program in the country to even be considered for positions.

How to get started:

  • 1 Complete our intake form so we can learn more about your needs.
  • 2 Choose from our two pathways to care: All-inclusive or Referral Program.
  • 3 Then enjoy a smooth & nourished postpartum experience with your baby while we take care of the rest.

All-inclusive Newborn Care

When you book GNS, you enjoy all-inclusive postpartum care. We manage your care schedule, create a plan for success, pay your caregiver, and handle all tax documents and administrative aspects of the job to ensure you get the support you need without the hassle. Rates range from $30-45/hour, based on the type of caregiver and duties. There are no additional fees and zero tax liability for you. The vast majority of our clients choose this option for the convenience, but also because it includes a free prenatal consultation with Cortney Gibson and access to our backup care team. Let us take care of all the details so you can enjoy your baby.

Referral Program

For families who want to hire and pay their caregiver directly, we offer a referral service. GNS will work with you to create a job description, recruit and screen candidates, and provide the profiles of all available and qualified candidates. Families can expect to pay between $25-40/hour (depending on experience, education, and duties). Our referral fee is 20% of the total booking, which includes screening. We recommend paying your caregiver on a W2 (as an employer) to eliminate any risk of misclassifying employees.
