What to check before anyone enters your home
Ask three things: Is she trained in newborn and postpartum care (not just experienced)? Has her background been verified? And is there someone accountable coordinating the care if something goes wrong? Informal hiring usually can't answer any of these with confidence.
How Medlion does it differently
Every caregiver on Medlion goes through structured training and assessment, a background check, and skill verification before placement — and a Recovery Manager coordinates the care and is the family's single point of contact. The caregiver's training, credentials, and track record are provable inside one system, not taken on trust.
The honest part
Medlion is building this network city by city, so availability depends on where you are and when. The fastest way to get matched is to tell a Recovery Manager what you need — they'll plan the right caregiver and duration, or tell you honestly when cover is available.
