Expert Care for Siblings and Other Children
Welcoming a new baby into the family is a beautiful and emotional time. But amidst the excitement, it’s easy to overlook the needs of older siblings or other children in the home. At Hunter’s Haven Doula Services, we offer more than just newborn support—we provide dedicated sibling and child care services tailored to families across Monmouth County, Ocean County, and Middlesex.
Whether you are recovering postpartum, attending pediatric appointments, or simply navigating the day-to-day, our trained care team is here to help ensure every child in your home is supported, safe, and emotionally nurtured.
Why Sibling Care Matters During the Newborn Phase
Children often go through big emotional changes when a new sibling arrives. The shift in family dynamics can lead to feelings of confusion, jealousy, or even anxiety. Our child care services focus on giving your older children the attention and engagement they need while you bond with your newborn.
At Hunter’s Haven Doula Services, we don’t just watch your children—we support their development, maintain their routines, and help them feel involved in this exciting family chapter.
What We Offer
In-Home Sibling Support from Experienced Caregivers
Whether you need someone to play, supervise, or help with schoolwork, our team provides in-home care tailored to your children’s age and needs. Our caregivers are trained in child care assistance and child care training, giving you peace of mind that your children are in caring, qualified hands.
We offer flexible scheduling—daytime, evening, or overnight—across Monmouth County, Ocean County, and Middlesex.
Services include:
● Age-appropriate activities and play
● Help with meals and snacks
● Bedtime and naptime routines
● School pick-up/drop-off if needed

Urgent Care Support and Resources
We understand that young children can fall ill or need immediate support—especially when your hands are full with a newborn. Our team can help connect families to local urgent care for children or provide immediate, short-term in-home supervision in such cases.
Looking for children in urgent care near me in Monmouth, Ocean, or Middlesex? We can direct you to trusted facilities and even assist with transportation and scheduling if needed.
We are familiar with reliable local providers for:
● Fever and cold symptoms
● Minor injuries or rashes
● Stomach bugs or ear infections
● Pediatric urgent care visits
Assistance with Children’s Primary Care Coordination
If your older child has a regular children primary care provider, we can help keep appointments organized and even accompany you to doctor visits when support is needed. Whether it's vaccination schedules, annual checkups, or wellness follow-ups, we help ensure your child’s healthcare doesn't fall by the wayside during the postpartum period.
Emotional Support for Older Siblings
Adding a newborn to the family brings change. Our caregivers are trained to:
● Encourage positive sibling bonding
● Validate and gently manage behavior changes
● Keep older kids included with baby-safe tasks (like fetching diapers or singing lullabies)
● Reduce stress and jealousy through focused attention
We approach every child with empathy, compassion, and individualized care that meets their emotional and developmental needs.
Tailored Child Care Services for Your Family
At Hunter’s Haven Doula Services, we understand that every household is different. Some families need a helping hand for a few hours a day. Others may want a more structured child care service while navigating maternity leave or returning to work. That’s why we offer:
● Customizable service plans
● Trained professionals with child care training credentials
● On-call availability for sudden changes or emergencies
● Safe, trustworthy caregivers who feel like part of the family
