If you are a lower income family, I am willing to work on a sliding scale/payment plan basis. My postpartum rates are $15 an hour daytime, $20 for overnights. Daytime hours are booked in blocks of at least 4 hours, overnights 8 hours. I am willing to negotiate/offer a sliding scale on a case by case basis.
