Frequently asked questions about Babyproofing

Babyproofing services in Des Moines start at $40 per hour.

Once you have the supplies, babyproofing your home takes only a couple of hours. However, this can depend on the size of your home and if you need to install baby gates places like at the top and bottom of staircases.

Babyproofing should be completed twice; once prior to baby's arrival and again once baby starts crawling.

Babyproofing is the process of making a home safe for babies by addressing potential hazards. The goal is to prevent any accidents or injuries from common household dangers.
