What is Postpartum care?

After childbirth, the postpartum period (6 to 8 weeks after delivery) is a crucial time that significantly impacts a mother’s lifelong health. A postpartum caregiver is a trained professional with specialized education and extensive experience in postpartum nutrition, maternal health management, and newborn care. They provide postpartum care services that help mothers comfortably care for their newborns at home while assisting them in recovering as closely as possible to their pre-pregnancy condition.

Service Types and Work Forms

Long-Distance/Out-of-State Service

Due to the nature of the service, the duration, consecutive weekend work, and other conditions can be adjusted in advance with the caregiver. Additionally, all round-trip transportation costs (airfare, baggage fees, gas, transportation fees, etc.) must be paid separately.

Commute-Type

Caregivers commute to the mother's home
Working hours: Mon-Fri (9 am - 5 pm), with a 1-hour break
Commute-type care includes a 1-hour break and is only available within a distance that the caregiver can reasonably commute to and from.
Additional charges for long-distance commuting (gas, transportation costs)
Weekend services available at different rates

Live-In Type

Caregivers stay at the mother's home
Working hours: Sun 8 pm - Fri 5 pm (or Mon 10 am - Sat 7 am), with 3-4 hours of daytime rest
Schedule can be adjusted by agreement

Mixed Type

This is combination of commute-type and live-in type. Typically, customers start with live-in care during the initial postpartum period, transitioning to commute-type care later with this work type.
