💛 What Is a Night Nanny?

A Night Nanny (also called a newborn care specialist or maternity nanny) is a trained childcare professional who comes to your home in the evening to care for your baby while you sleep.

They typically work between 9 PM and 7 AM, offering overnight support with:

  • Bottle feeds or assisting with breastfeeding

  • Winding, settling, and comforting baby

  • Nappy changes and sleep tracking

  • Establishing healthy sleep habits

  • Helping parents gently transition into new routines

Whether you want to catch up on rest, recover from birth, or prepare to return to work, a Night Nanny gives you space to recharge while your baby is lovingly cared for.
