How to review a proposed caregiver profile

DarDoc gives you the opportunity to review the proposed newborn caregiver before confirming your plan.

DarDoc gives you the opportunity to review the proposed newborn caregiver before confirming your plan.

What every DarDoc newborn caregiver already meets

Every caregiver is female, directly employed by DarDoc, NICU-trained, BLS-certified, medically tested, and has at least two years of newborn experience.

The profile helps you understand the individual caregiver within those standards.

What to look for

Review:

  • Newborn experience

  • Premature or NICU-related experience where relevant

  • Languages

  • Availability

  • Relevant training

  • Work history presented in the profile

  • Fit with your requested schedule

Useful questions to ask

  • Has she supported a baby of a similar age?

  • Is she comfortable with our feeding routine?

  • Does she have experience with the practical needs we described?

  • Can she follow our requested days and hours?

  • How will scheduled off-days be handled?

  • What should we do if we need to change the plan?

What a profile cannot tell you

A profile cannot fully predict how communication will feel inside your home. That is why the first shifts matter.

Set expectations clearly, observe how the caregiver communicates, and tell DarDoc early if something needs attention. A concern does not have to become a crisis before you ask for help.

Ask about the match, not private documents

The Care Team can answer relevant questions about experience, training, employment, and availability. Customers should not request unnecessary personal documents or private information from a caregiver.

DarDoc is responsible for the employment and verification process. Your review should focus on the caregiver’s suitability for the agreed role.

Prepare your own family summary

A useful introduction can be one page. Include the baby’s age, routine, relevant health information, home language, parent contact details, shift expectations, and anything that helps the caregiver understand the household.

This creates a two-way matching process. The caregiver profile helps you understand her background, and the family summary helps her prepare for your baby.
