- You're recovering from a C-section and being awake all night with the baby is setting you back.

What Chennai families say
“Post-delivery care was very challenging for us without family nearby. The newborn caretaker arranged by Colours Life Manpower Agency was patient, gentle with the baby's bath and sleep routine, and extremely helpful to the mother.”

Before you decide
The questions worth asking before anyone starts in your home — answered here, so nothing catches you off guard later.
How early should we start looking?
Two to four weeks before your due month. The experienced newborn caretakers get reserved — a March baby and a December baby don't have the same availability.
Will she wake us for every feed?
Agree the night split before she starts. Live-in caretakers take the scheduled night feeds and diaper changes so you sleep in real stretches; you're woken for what only you can do.
My mother-in-law will be here for a month — is that a problem?
It usually helps. Tell us in the first message if another senior family member will be present; duties get arranged around who does what.
Does she do the mother's massage too?
Many do, as an extra agreed between your family and her — with oils you choose. Ask during the introduction; it's never assumed.
What if the baby gets a fever at night?
She is not a nurse and cannot treat illness — she'll bring it to you immediately and stay up with the baby while you call your pediatrician. Keep your pediatrician's night number saved before day one.
Can she handle twins?
Say so in the first message. Twin experience is specific — some caretakers have it, many don't, and you'll only see profiles where it's stated.
What do you need from us in the first message?
Your area, the due month or the baby's age, day shift or live-in, and anything unusual we should know. That's enough to check availability today.
