  • Advocacy: Acting as an advocate for families, helping them communicate with healthcare providers and access necessary resources.
  • Household Organization: Assisting with light household duties to allow parents to focus on their recovery and bonding with the baby.
  • Sibling Support: Helping older siblings adjust to the new family dynamics and providing care if needed.
  • Referrals: Connecting parents with additional resources and support services as needed.
