A wonderful family who recently relocated from New York City to Tuscany, Italy, is seeking a newborn care specialist for their second child, due in early October. They are ideally looking for a candidate with midwifery experience who can attend doctor’s appointments and the birth, ensuring a calm atmosphere and serving as an advocate for the mother. Fluency in both English and Italian is essential.

The schedule is yet to be determined, as the parents wish to be as hands-on and involved as possible. Flexibility from the specialist would be greatly appreciated. They would have use of the guest suite with an attached bathroom.

The ideal candidate would be positive, friendly, and personable, able to read the room and know when the family wants to spend time together, but also comfortable when everyone is present, as the family likes to work as a team.
