Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the helper sleep in the same room as the baby?

A: Yes, this is a common arrangement that ensures the baby receives prompt attention at night. We recommend discussing duties and rest time clearly with your helper beforehand.

Q: What if my helper’s childcare methods are different from mine?

A: This is common. We recommend: 1) Providing clear, written guidelines from the start. 2) Demonstrating your preferred methods. 3) Contacting our consultants for mediation support if needed. As the employer, you set the household rules.

Q: Will the helper also do housework?

A: Yes. While the baby is the first priority, a newborn care helper is also expected to handle basic household chores like cleaning and cooking. We advise clarifying these duties in the contract.
