Tell us about your child.
You know things about your child that no intake form will ever capture — the way they signal discomfort, the position that helps them settle, the nurse from the PICU they still talk about. Our first conversation is a listen, not a questionnaire.
Most families spend 20–30 minutes on this call. We never rush it.
We match your nurse.
Every nurse in our network is pediatric-specialized. We also ask about personality, communication style, and your family's rhythm. A nurse who's great with a toddler who loves dinosaurs is different from one who's built trust with a teenager who hates being touched. We find the right fit.
Credentials are the floor, not the ceiling. We're looking for the person your child will let hold their hand.
Meet before the first visit.
Before any care begins, your matched nurse comes to your home — no equipment, no pressure. They meet your child on their turf. They see the layout of the room, learn where things are kept, and ask you to show them how your child likes things done. This visit is just for trust.
Parents tell us this meeting is the moment they finally sleep through the night.
Care begins.
Your nurse arrives for the first shift knowing your child's name, their preferences, their care plan, and the things that matter most to you. From the first morning, it feels like someone who's been there before — because in every way that counts, they have been.
A typical morning shift
From the families we serve.
“Our son came home from the NICU with a feeding tube and an apnea monitor. I hadn't slept more than two hours at a stretch in three months. The night Tend's nurse arrived for her first shift, I went upstairs and actually closed my eyes. I didn't know I still could.”
Rachel M.
Mom of a 4-month-old, former NICU patient
“Our daughter has a trach and is on a vent at night. Finding someone qualified and someone she'd actually tolerate felt impossible. Tend sent us a nurse who showed up in dinosaur scrubs. Our daughter asked if she could come back the next day.”
James & Priya K.
Parents of a 3-year-old with a tracheostomy
“The intake call wasn't like anything I'd expected. She asked me what made Eli laugh. Nobody had asked me that in six weeks of hospital visits. I knew right then these were the right people.”
Danielle O.
Mom of a 7-year-old on IV antibiotics
