Newborn Care Specialists generally work night and day shifts managing the baby's care while the parents sleep restfully. During the night shift when the baby wakes up, the Newborn Care Specialist feeds by a bottle or brings the baby to the Mom for nursing. After feeding, the baby is attended to, fed and changed then placed back to bed. During the day shift, a Newborn Care Specialist will provide similar care and also strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for the baby during waking hours. Both day and night Newborn Care Specialists record the baby's pattern to create an accurate account of sleeping, feeding and changing patterns which assists in establishing babies regular daily routines. We are: In possession of over 15 years of childcare experience Certified in the care and feeding of Newborn Infants and children CPR/FIRST Aid Certified Successfully passed state mandated background checks Recognition of 3-4 references Ability to work a flexible schedule Let our experienced professionals work for you.

Hello! Thank you for checking into Beyond Blessed Academy! We met at a daycare facility in Columbus. After working there for a while, we noticed some things we weren't happy with. The care was not personalized, it was all about profit and not care and education. We decided to open Beyond Blessed Academy to provide quality childcare. We will give your child attentive, personalized care you won`t find at any daycare or preschool in Columbus. Our ratio is small so you know your child is being well watched and cared for. Our staff is CPR certified, clean background checks, Health and Safety Certified. Read on to meet our staff! Hello, my name is Makayla. I am 20 years old and a mother to one beautiful boy. I study Early Childhood Education at Columbus State University. I have been working with children for over half of my life. From VBS to babysitting to daycares, I've done it all. I like to do education based care. I believe a child should learn everyday in fun and interactive ways. If you`re child attends our academy, they will leave ready for kindergarten and well ahead of the learning curve. In my studies I learn the most up to date teaching techniques. With everything our facility has to offer you can have peace of mind that your child is getting the best care available. Hello, My name is Donna. I grew up in the fostering system. From this experience, I learned how a child should be treated and cared for. The number one thing a child will remember is how he/she is loved. In our academy, we offer education that fits your child. I love working at this Academy. It is truly everything a child needs in their early stages of development.
