"Stacey is truly one-of-a-kind, and we feel beyond lucky to have had her as our night nurse. She is everything you could hope for during those precious (and exhausting!) newborn weeks: warm, loving, patient, calm, and an absolute JOY to have in our home. From the moment she arrived, we knew we were in the best hands."

- Rachel & Michael

Boston, Massachusetts

"Erin was amazing! She was exactly what I needed for those first few weeks after giving birth. We easily fell into a good rhythm each time she came and it helped me so much to get a solid rest. She was fantastic with my baby girl - I was worried that she would stay up crying if I wasn’t there to hold her but Erin skillfully lulled her to sleep every time! As a single mother I couldn’t have asked for better postpartum support!"

- Cailin

Boston, Massachusetts

"Jenn Marie was confident and caring and quickly made us feel very comfortable when caring for our newborn."

- Shana & Stacy

Boston, Massachusetts

"We highly recommend Karla to future clients. She is nice, knowledgeable and very helpful. Well Supported Family has been nothing but exceptional."

Boston Night Nurse Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you have certified Postpartum Doulas who qualify for CARROT fertility?

Do you offer flexible scheduling?

What's the cost of a Boston newborn night nurse or Postpartum Doula?

Is overnight newborn care & postpartum support available for both local residents and seasonal visitors?

Why should I choose to hire Well Supported Family instead of a cheaper 24/7 Baby Nurse?

Baby nurses are not a regulated profession and may not be background checked or trained in the latest AAP safe sleep practices. They may also lack current knowledge of sleep conditioning and how to work toward healthy sleep goals safely.

Our Newborn Care Specialists are background-checked, expertly trained, and experienced in evidence-based newborn care. We follow AAP safe sleep guidelines every night and our caregivers are reliable professionals who will not cancel at the last minute.

Learn more about the important differences between a newborn care specialist and a traditional baby nurse in our detailed guide: Newborn Care Specialist vs. Baby Nurse.

With Well Supported Family, you gain the peace of mind that your baby is cared for by trusted experts and that your family’s needs will be met with consistency and care.

I only need care a few nights a week. Is that possible?
