Pediatric Care at Home

A trained nurse or caregiver looks after children at home, including monitoring temperature and symptoms during illness.

Fatima Home Nursing Care provides trained nurses, caregivers and physiotherapists at home in Karachi, Hyderabad, Islamabad & Lahore. To book this service, message us on WhatsApp.

The carer helps with feeding, hygiene and rest, and supports the family in following the doctor's advice.

Home pediatric care suits families who want a sick child to rest at home while still being monitored, rather than making repeated clinic trips.

Children recover best in familiar surroundings, with rest, fluids and a calm routine. But a sick child also needs watchful eyes: children can become unwell quickly, and a small change — a rising temperature, less drinking, unusual drowsiness — matters more in a child than in an adult. Home pediatric care gives a family trained support at home, so the child rests comfortably while someone trained is watching for changes and keeping the family informed.

What pediatric care at home includes

Care is arranged around the child's age, condition and the doctor's advice. A newborn, a toddler and a school-age child need very different care, and the carer assigned will be matched to the child's age and needs. When you message us, tell us the child's age, what the doctor has said, and what help you need — daytime visits, overnight support, or help for a few days while the child recovers.

Monitoring the child's temperature and symptoms during illness, and noting any change for the family and the doctor.
Helping with feeding — preparing feeds or meals as the family and doctor advise, and encouraging fluids.
Help with hygiene — bathing, changing, nappy care and keeping the child clean and comfortable.
Supporting rest — keeping the child's routine calm, with quiet play and sleep as the doctor advises.
Medication reminders — giving only medicines prescribed by the child's doctor, in the dose and timing the doctor advises, and keeping a record.
Comfort and reassurance — a calm, patient carer who helps the child feel safe while unwell.
Family guidance — showing parents how to check temperature, keep the child hydrated, and recognise signs that need a doctor's review.
Updates for parents — telling the family how the child is doing after each visit, including eating, drinking, sleep and temperature.

Who pediatric care at home is for

Home pediatric care is for families whose child is unwell or recovering, and who would rather have trained care at home than make repeated clinic trips. It also suits families with a newborn who want experienced help in the first days and weeks, and parents who work and need a trusted carer for a child who needs extra attention.

A child recovering from fever, flu or another common illness, who needs monitoring and rest at home.
A newborn whose parents want experienced help with feeding, hygiene and settling in the early weeks.
A child recovering after hospital care, whose doctor has advised rest and monitoring at home.
A child with a long-term condition who needs regular care and observation at home, on the doctor's plan.
Working parents who need a trained carer for a child who is unwell and cannot attend school or daycare.

How a pediatric care visit works

Booking: message us on WhatsApp with the child's age, city and area, what the doctor has said, and what help you need. We confirm the visit time.
First visit: the nurse or caregiver meets the child and parents, learns the child's routine, medicines and the doctor's advice, and agrees how updates will be shared.
Care: the carer monitors temperature and symptoms, helps with feeding, hygiene and rest, and keeps the child comfortable.
Medicines: only medicines prescribed by the child's doctor are given, in the dose and timing the doctor advises, with a record kept.
Updates: parents are told how the child is doing after the visit — temperature, eating and drinking, sleep, and any change.
Review: if the child is not improving, or if any warning sign appears, the carer advises a doctor's review rather than waiting for the next visit.

Seek urgent care immediately if a child has difficulty breathing, blue lips, a fit or seizure, unusual drowsiness or difficulty waking, signs of dehydration such as very few wet nappies or no tears, a high temperature that does not come down, or any sudden serious symptom. A child who is getting worse should be seen by a doctor promptly — do not wait for the next home visit.

Safety and qualifications

Our nurses are PNC holders, which means they are registered nurses with the Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council. They are trained to monitor children, recognise warning signs, and support families in following a doctor's plan. Our caregivers are trained to look after children's daily needs — feeding, hygiene, rest and comfort — and to report any change to the nurse or the family.

The carer follows the advice of the child's own doctor. Our staff do not diagnose illness, do not prescribe medicines, and do not decide the dose or timing of a medicine — that comes only from the child's doctor. Medicines are given only as prescribed, and only in the dose and timing the doctor advises.

Fatima Home Nursing Care provides nursing, caregiver and physiotherapy staff at home. We do not provide diagnostic services, and we do not provide lab-test services. If a doctor asks for a test, it must be arranged through a laboratory or hospital.

Parents can help by keeping the doctor's instructions and the medicine list where the carer can find them, telling the carer about any allergy, keeping the child's room clean and comfortable, and staying reachable during visits so the carer can update them straight away.

Where this service is available

This service is available at home in Karachi, Hyderabad, Islamabad & Lahore. Booking, visit times and the nurse or caregiver assigned depend on your city and area, so please share your city and area when you message us.

Frequently asked questions

Does the nurse give medicines to children?

Only medicines prescribed by the child's doctor, in the dose and timing the doctor advises. The nurse does not diagnose or prescribe.

Can a carer stay with a sick child while parents are at work?

Yes. Visits can be arranged around the parents' working hours, and the family is updated after each visit on how the child is doing.

What signs mean a child should see a doctor urgently?

Difficulty breathing, blue lips, a fit or seizure, unusual drowsiness, signs of dehydration, a high temperature that does not come down, or any sudden serious symptom. Seek urgent care immediately if any of these appear.

Do you care for newborns as well as older children?

Yes. Care is matched to the child's age — newborns, toddlers and school-age children each need different support, and the carer is assigned accordingly.

Can the carer help parents learn how to look after a sick child?

Yes. The carer can show parents how to check temperature, keep the child hydrated, and recognise the signs that need a doctor's review.
