Mother and Childcare Services at Home

Giving birth and having a child is one of the most significant and memorable experiences in the life of a mother and the family. And while there is a lot of cheer, excitement and joy in bringing a newborn home, it is also accompanied by stress, anxiety and worries of a new mother. The first six weeks of the newborn’s life are crucial and critical when it comes to the child’s health and development. Over and above this, this is also the time the mother returns home after giving birth and needs post-operative care at home, incase she has undergone a cesarean delivery. Services offering mother and baby care are essential during this stage to ensure that the new mother is cared for, supported and guided through the first stage of motherhood. By hiring babysitting services right after the birth of your child, it is possible to reduce the potential psychological stress and can also help you deal with postnatal depression in a better way. 

Given that Dubai is the home of expats and professionals from all over the world, it is common to find that families living here are away from their loved ones and do not have the direct help and support of family members and relatives. Opting for services of at home childcare can’t fill that gap but can offer solace and support in times of need. In the absence of elderly family members, trained and experienced nurses can prepare new mothers for what to expect in the first few weeks after bringing a baby home.
