About The Position

Soon-to-be parents living in northwest Washington, DC, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first child at the end of February.

The parents are seeking guidance on all aspects of newborn care. They will be using a surrogate and bottle feeding. Ideally, the NCS would start two weeks before delivery to ensure the nursery is properly set up and everything is in place. The surrogate is due February 28th, 2027, so a mid-February start.
