SANCTUARY OFFERS
Overnight Care & Sleep Support
Our overnight care providers create a sanctuary in your home where your growing family can rest.
Overnight visits help maximize sleep for the whole family with our providers caring for baby all night long. Together we will create a plan for feeding throughout the night, which could include bringing baby to mom’s bed to breastfeed, or utilizing breastmilk or formula for bottle feedings. We also provide evidence-based information on newborn sleep, physiology and the relationship to feedings to help you establish a sustainable, healthy sleep rhythm for your family.
When should we start to think about overnight care?
There’s no wrong time to hire overnight care! You can reserve our commitment in advance to be available for your home visits once your baby arrives by creating a Custom Care Plan with our team during your pregnancy, or can reach out after your baby arrives for Immediate Care. Either way, when your baby arrives, your schedule of home visits can be further customized as needed to respond to your unique needs.
Custom Care Plan
We highly recommend working with us during your pregnancy to create a Custom Care Plan. This create peace of mind by having your postpartum care team hired and onboard ahead of baby’s arrival. All care plan contracted families get first priority when requesting a specific day and/or time for visits as well as specific doulas, and can also have visits scheduled out as far in advance as they’d like within their care plan.
For these plans, we strongly suggest a minimum of one visit per week. We’ll work with you to create an estimated care plan and then we’ll ask for a retainer of 50% that plan. We’ll use this retainer to pay for the first several visits of your care, and charge your credit card on file after your retainer is depleted.
Immediate Care
Immediate Care is for families who have baby already in their arms and find themselves in need of immediate overnight support. We are able to accommodate requests for immediate care on a day-to-day basis, but don’t worry—we staff up the team with these needs in mind as we know often families don’t know they need support until they need it!
If you decide Immediate Care is the best fit for your family, visit availability is determined 2–3 days ahead of the proposed visit date and is based on availability after we serve our clients with care plans established. Visits are generally scheduled one or two at a time and can continue for as long as our team’s availability and your family’s needs warrant.
Sleep Support & Consultations
We go through many stages as parents and deserve help and resources to be supported throughout those ever-shifting stages - sometimes we are well rested, other times, not at all; our children only sleep in our bed or on our chest, sometimes they rest in their own space. We ebb and flow with their needs and often push their comfort above our own. Newborn and toddler sleep is always changing, evolving, steps backward, steps forward- it's hard to navigate!
Our sleep specialist, Ashley Vogt, works alongside each family to meet you where you are in the sleep journey, to join you in determining your ideal sleep goals for your child, and to formulate a plan that accomplishes those goals in a methodology that you feel comfortable with.
Initial Consultation: $150 (includes a week of follow up phone and text support). Prior to this call, Ashley will have you email her details surrounding current sleep struggles and what your ideal goals would be so that during your call you can spend the time flushing out the details and game planning strategy for your first week.
Follow up Consultations: $100 (also includes a week of phone and text support) We use these calls to troubleshoot any issues that have come up from the initial strategy meeting. These are also helpful throughout the various sleep stages that your child will go through- especially in the first year. Follow ups make it easy to check in anytime you need support through sleep regressions or other changes.
