FAQs
-
A night nanny, or nighttime infant caregiver, is a specialist who provides overnight care for newborns, babies, and sometimes preschoolers. Our primary role is to assist families in managing their child's nighttime needs, such as feeding, changing diapers, soothing, and establishing a sleep routine. This service is especially beneficial for parents who need restful sleep themselves, are adjusting to the new demands of parenthood, or have specific challenges such as a baby with sleep disturbances. Night nannies like me offer expertise in infant care and sleep training (sleep shaping), ensuring both the baby and parents get a good night's rest.

We do not sleep train children younger than 4 months old. Sleep patterns do not begin to mature until around 4 months. We implement independent sleep techniques ( sleep shaping) and educate on healthy and safe sleeping habits, ensuring you feel confident even after our partnership has ended.

It depends on what your family’s goals and needs are. Our relationship can last a couple of weeks up to 4 months. I work up to 5 days a week and my hours are usually 9 pm - 6 am. If a family wants care for a baby or child who is older than 4 months and my presence is requested throughout the night, that arrangement will be more short term than long term.
