A Nana's Nest newborn night nurse (also called an overnight newborn care specialist or baby nurse) arrives at your home each evening and manages every part of overnight infant care — feedings, soothing, diapering, and sleep — so you can rest, recover, and wake up to a baby who's already been fed and changed.
It's the kind of support families across Washington, DC, Bethesda and Chevy Chase, MD, and McLean and Great Falls, VA turn to in the earliest, hardest weeks — and often keep in place far longer than they expected to need it.
What Your Night Nurse Handles Overnight
- Feedings & burping — breast milk, formula, or a combination, on your baby's schedule
- Diaper changes & swaddling throughout the night
- Sleep tracking & soothing, with notes you'll review each morning
- Light nursery tidying — bottles washed, laundry started, nursery reset
- Feeding coordination with your pediatrician or lactation consultant's guidance
- A calm morning handoff, so you start the day informed, not scrambling
Who We Serve

- Twins, triplets & higher-order multiples

Credentials & Standards
Every Nana's Nest night nurse is a Registered Nurse or a certified Newborn Care Specialist, holds current CPR and infant-safety certification, and has passed a background check and reference review before ever entering your home. Confidentiality agreements are standard practice for every engagement.
Scheduling That Fits Your Family
Engagements range from a short, intensive one to two weeks after delivery to ongoing, part-time support for several months — one, three, five, or seven nights a week. We'll help you decide what's realistic once we know your due date and household.
