Thank you for your interest in working with Precious Moments Babeez Inc. We are an agency that provides clients the ability to meet high-quality candidates who have already been pre-screened and vetted through our very strict assessment and interview process. Please note that it is recommended to start the interview process for labor and/or postpartum support no sooner then your 26th week of pregnancy and with the intention of booking within 2-4 weeks.
This is to ensure that the professional you chose will be available for you and prevent you from having to start the interview process over.
Our support team are all Nurses, Perinatal Support Workers (PNSWs) or Doulas.
They must all carry liability insurance, CPR and Back Checks.
During interviews we encourage families to ask for proof of all these certificates directly from each professional.
Please be assured that all professionals have been vetted and are registered or trained within their modality.
All of the Babeez nurses are R.N.s or R.P.N.s registered with the www.cno.org
