Houston Overnight Newborn Care

Night Nanny for Newborn Infant

Newborn care specialists and overnight newborn nannies are angels for sleepless parents. Many of our families attribute their sanity to these services! These infant caregivers help new parents achieve a restful night’s sleep so they have more energy to devote to their families and their work.

How Can We Help

Newborn nannies get up with the baby, feed (or bring the baby to the nursing mom), change, and soothe the baby. Our Houston Newborn Care Specialists are also sleep training experts.

Professional Newborn Care Specialists and Overnight Newborn Nannies are highly sought after because of their depth of experience and are booked for a minimum of 4 weeks for at least 3 nights per week (most commonly, they are booked for 3-month assignments), working 8-12 hour shifts. They are often booked months out in advance, but occasionally we can accommodate immediate requests.

Note: Sometimes these caregivers are also referred to as night nannies, night nurses, baby nurses, etc. If you are seeking 24-hour care, please schedule an appointment with Kimberly.
