Newborn & night nanny care
Our newborn and night nannies are experienced with feedings, soothing, and sleep routines. They support your family overnight so you can recover and rest, and help establish healthy patterns in those first months.
What overnight support looks like
A night nanny takes the overnight shift so you don’t have to: feedings or bottle prep, diaper changes, soothing and resettling, and keeping notes on how the night went. If you’re nursing, the caregiver brings the baby to you and handles everything around the feed. The goal is simple — your baby is cared for by experienced hands, and you actually sleep.
This kind of care matters most in the stretches when families are running on empty: the first weeks home, a parent returning to work, recovery from a difficult birth, or the round-the-clock demands of twins.
Specialists, not generalists
We match you with caregivers who specialize in newborn care and have the references and certifications to back it up. Every candidate clears the same multi-layer screening as our long-term placements — criminal background checks, reference verification, and review of certifications like CPR and First Aid — before you meet them.
What newborn care costs in Houston
Newborn and night nanny work is specialized, and Houston rates reflect that: typically $25 to $35 per hour as of 2026, compared with $18 to $28 for general nanny care. We’ll quote your specific arrangement — number of nights, length of engagement, single baby or multiples — during the consultation call.
