A Night Nurse, alternatively referred to as a Baby Nurse or Newborn Care Specialist, is a non-medical expert offering in-home care for newborns. They offer guidance and assistance, aiming to boost your confidence as parents during the initial months of your baby's life. Our Night Nurses are available for overnight, daytime, and round-the-clock care.

The term "night nurse" refers to a baby nurse or newborn care specialist who offers non-medical care for your infant. Not all members of the Nurturing Night team are registered nurses; only our RNs are qualified to handle medical-related tasks.

Certainly, with a "listening ear." If your baby awakens, your Nurturing Nights Team Member will be right beside your baby throughout the night, prepared to comfort and soothe them.

A pillow, blanket and either a bed or couch. A chair is not an acceptable place for your night nurse to rest.

We suggest booking during your second trimester. Our Nurturing Nights services are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, and some families secure our care as early as their first trimester. We strive to accommodate last-minute requests, so please feel free to reach out to us.

Great question. Each family has unique needs. We typically recommend a minimum of a few nights a week for at least the initial two weeks, extending up to sixteen weeks or even longer if required. Multiples and preemies often require care for a more extended period compared to a singleton or full-term baby. We can tailor a unique plan based on your family's specific needs.

No, most of our night nurses typically work 3-5 nights a week to ensure continuity of care. We aim for every family to establish a trusting relationship with their night nurse. If you prefer care for 7 nights a week, the schedule will be divided between two newborn specialists.

We strive to offer flexibility, but if you need to cancel a shift, we request that you notify your night nurse at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice before the scheduled shift will incur the regular nightly rate charge. If you need to reschedule a shift to a different night within the same week, and it aligns with your night nurse's availability, your invoice will be adjusted to reflect the date change.

The average rates for a night nurse typically range from $40 to $55+ per hour. The exact rate depends on the number of infants, whether there is a medically complex case, and if you require a nurse with specific licensing or credentials.

We accept various forms of payment, including all major credit cards, Zelle, PayPal, and ACH. Payment is required in advance, and we issue invoices accordingly.

Certainly. If you don't have a driveway or designated parking spot, you will be responsible for reimbursing your night nurse at the end of each week. She will provide you with a receipt from the parking garage for your records.
