The overnight and 24/7 support your family needs as new intended parents:

Overnight Newborn Care for Intended Parents:
Adjusting to the sudden transition home with a newborn can be a jarring experience. We understand the importance of getting sufficient rest for your well-being and success as new parents. That's why we were motivated to put together a team of Newborn Care Specialists and Postpartum Doulas that are available to provide overnight care all over the country.
Overnight care is 8-12 hour shifts, typically 4-7 nights per week.
- Overnight shifts typically run 8-12 hours, with a standard minimum being 10pm-6am
- The Night Nurse will completely take over care during the night so you can rest knowing your baby is safe and well- cared for.
- You will be educated on all aspects of newborn care, and your Postpartum Doula will hold your hand every step of this journey.
24/7 Newborn Care for Intended Parents:
With 24/7 newborn care the provider will travel to the parents and stay with them throughout the duration of their contract. We provide you with a 24/7 Newborn Care Specialist from our carefully selected and vetted team.
24/7 live-in care is for parents who need a bit more support on this journey. Whether you just need help transitioning home or help for the first 6 months, you can trust us to take care of your little miracle with warmth and expertise.
- Your Newborn Care Specialist can arrange to meet you either at the hospital, nearby accommodations, or upon your arrival home.
- Our 24/7 travel newborn care services for intended parents require a minimum duration of one week, but typically ranges from 6-12 weeks.
- A standard shift is 16-20 hours, However, in cases where a parent is unable to greet their newborn immediately upon arrival due to unforeseen or planned circumstances, a Newborn Care Specialist can provide round-the-clock care, assuming full responsibility for the newborn until the parents arrive.

We had a good experience with Well supported family and we loved our nightingale, Racquel. She was easy to talk to, punctual, positive, trustworthy, and I could tell she genuinely cared about our daughter! Racquel was great and we loved having her care for our baby!
Had a great experience. Ally was the best, and Karina made the whole process seamless!
The team is so great to work with always checking in and doing the best to keep me busy I so appreciate them they do a lot to match me with terrific families 🌈
We had the most positive experience with Nightingale and JoJo. I can’t thank both of them enjoy for the peace of mind and help they provided when my son was first born. Highly recommend using this service!!
Ally was beyond exceptional. We loved her from the moment she arrived. Her knowledge and expertise regarding all things baby—not just sleep, were more than we could have asked for. Her experience as a NICU/PICU nurse made us feel even more comfortable. She cared for and loved our little girl like her own, and offered so much useful information for parent training, from breast feeding and pumping tips to information about leaps and skill acquisition and regressions. We wish we could have kept her forever! Not only is she amazing with babies but she is just such a kind, caring, smart person and was a pleasure to get to know and chat with. We could not have imagined a better fit for our family!
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Jazmine, who has been our night nurse for the past couple of months, caring for our infant son. From her very first night with us, Jazmine brought a calm, reassuring presence into our home. She has shown tremendous expertise, warmth, and professionalism in every aspect of our son's care. If you are debating whether or not you should call Nightingale- this is your sign. - Sincerely, “an overtired and overstimulated mom of two boys!”
Melody has seamlessly integrated into our home and we felt so comfortable with her from day one. She is a great, gentle, soft communicator, is flexible, has a suggestive and understanding guidance style and asks thoughtful questions in order to make recommendations that work best for us.
We cannot possibly recommend Stacey highly enough. She became such a trusted, beloved presence in our family, and saying goodbye was truly bittersweet. Any family who has the opportunity to work with her should consider themselves incredibly fortunate—she is a total treasure.
We had a great experience! Nalda was our night nurse and she was so caring and good with our daughter!
It was amazing working with Nightingale! Our postpartum Doula Cjaisey was so helpful, kind, and wonderful to work with. She was extremely detailed in all her support and all the resources and guidance she shared. I could rest so easy knowing she was there and with Phoebe. I am so thankful to have been able to work with her and she felt part of our family in those special newborn times. She also was very professional in how she would arrive, take care of the baby products, and communicate around support!
We had an awesome experience with Jenn-Marie; she was great at troubleshooting issues with the baby and had a calm lovely presence in the household. Highly recommend!
Our nightingale Lauren was lovely to work with, always on time and took great care of our newborn. She was very kind and we knew our baby was in good hands every night. She was also accommodating to our schedules, very forthcoming with ways to assist us, helping clean pump parts and bottles in the middle of the night and insightful with information about a variety of questions we had as new parents. We would highly recommend Well Supported Family!
Erlisha was incredible. I will admit I was a little nervous to allow essentially a stranger in my home to care for my brand new baby, but she was so kind, patient, and caring that it made my mama heart feel at ease. I cannot say enough great things about Erlisha and how knowledgeable and respectful she was. She made herself available to me to text at any time, and went above and beyond to send recommendations and suggestions
Emily was wonderful. We are so grateful for her amazing work and care for our triplets. She has a true gift to take care of babies. We miss her and can’t thank the agency enough for matching us together! Thanks everyone!
Robin was wonderful. She went out of her way to check in with us leading up to our due date and made us feel comfortable even before she came over for the first night. She was so sweet with our son and so encouraging of us!
We needed to find night nannies at the last minute eligible for Carrot reimbursement. Nightingale Night Nurses was able to put together a schedule which met our needs and answered my questions about Carrot. Kristin and Karina were always easy to reach by email, text, or phone and we were able to book everything without a hassle. The night nannies provided (Rachael and Carolina) were excellent. We trusted them completely to take care of our baby, and we were able to get a full night's sleep. Nightingale Night Nannies made the first 6 weeks a breeze compared to when we had our first baby.
As new parents, those early days were a mix of joy, exhaustion, and steep learning curves. From the very first night our Nightingale Night Nurse brought a calm, reassuring presence into our home. She is not only exceptionally knowledgeable about infant care—including feeding, swaddling, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines—but also incredibly nurturing and thoughtful in her approach. Her ability to intuit our son’s needs, while supporting us as parents, was truly invaluable.
Really amazing service. So professional and responsive. we were paired with a fantastic NCS that was calm, very knowledgeable and I felt truly cared for our newborn. All of her advice was evidence based which I really appreciated. I learned so much and by the end of our 6 weeks our baby was already sleeping long stretches. Couldn’t recommend this service enough for new parents.
We've worked with three Nightingales. All of them were experienced doulas who truly cared. Working with an agency also showed its value - they coordinated care seamlessly. Highly recommend. 100 out of 10.
Heather was an amazing support to our family. She is incredibly professional, timely, respectful of our space, and most important of all, caring to our son. We had our best nights of sleep with her help!
Our night nurse was very professional and supportive throughout my journey into motherhood. She constantly checked in and cared for our family like one of her own. We had a wonderful experience with Analuisa
Extremely pleased with the agency. All of their nightnurses are well-vetted and trained and we had a terrific experience. The agency made everything extremely easy for us in terms of finding help, scheduling, etc. Highly, highly recommend!
They are the best! We were in a pinch and needed help within days. Nightingale came to the rescue and gave us an amazing night nanny. Thank you!
We were delighted that Nightingale was able to support us on a last minute and short-term basis. It was easy to communicate with their support team and they were available 7 days a week. We found each of their night nurses welll qualified and enjoyed working with them. We will use Nightingale again and highly recommend them for new mothers and families alike.
We had the best experience with our amazing night nurse, Jhenelle. Karina and the other ladies at Nightingale were so helpful, professional and responsive. They made everything seamless. Would 100% recommend.
Couldn't have been happier with our decision to work with Nightingale. Every interaction we had with Karina and the team was top notch. Timely responses, clear communication, and extremely professional. We were matched with an excellent overnight specialist (Dia) who was the absolute best. We're so lucky we found her. Would give 6 stars if I could I highly recommend working with this company!
A great investment in the wellbeing of both our baby and parents. They provide great care and you know your baby is in good hands so you can get some much needed rest
Very happy that we decided to go with 3N (my super cool nicknames for Nightingale Night Nurses). I felt relieved knowing that their candidates were certified & background checked. We absolutely loved the nanny who was placed with our family and will be sad to see her go when our contract is up. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to bring on an extra set of hands.
Wonderful and supportive night nurses!
Highly dependable night nurse / nanny company. Karina is the best when it comes to empathizing with new parents, and finding them night nannies that are a good fit.
We used Nightingale Nurses for the first 2 months of our baby's life and had 3 different nurses (due to changes in our schedule more than anything else). All 3 nurses were absolutely amazing. I felt confident and comfortable leaving my baby in their care. We appreciated that all of their nurses were screened, CPR certified and up to date on vaccines. Unlike other services, I felt that their care was backed and supported by science. And as a FTM they helped me getting my baby to sleep as well! Always happy to give me tips and tricks.
Nightingale was fantastic in setting me up with our night doula who completely saved us the first 6 weeks of our son’s life! They seamlessly helped me with reimbursement and scheduling- highly recommend!
Nightingale Night Nurses was incredible to work with. The night nurse they paired us with was perfect for our child and our family. Everything went incredibly smoothly and our night nurse helped improve our daughter's sleep tremendously. We also found it incredibly easy to work with the agency as well. Of all the agencies we spoke with Nightingale was the most professional, most knowledgeable, and most willing to work with us to find the perfect night nurse for us.
As a first-time mom, Nightingale Night Nurses were so helpful! I was matched with a great nurse that helped me get much needed sleep post-pregnancy! We originally signed on for 8 weeks, but added an additional 4 weeks. The nurses provided much appreciated guidance and reassurance during the early days of motherhood. I would definitely recommend their services as they were great to work, flexible and understanding of our needs, during an exciting time in our lives.
So happy I found nightingales. From start to finish they were top notch. They paired me with a postpartum doula who traveled to me in Florida. The Doula was fabulous, and dealing with Kristin and the team at nightingale made the process so easy. Highly recommend.
Not only did our nightingale take excellent care of our baby, she was a guide for us as new parents. She helped us learn how to take care of our baby, take care of ourselves, and develop a routine that worked for all of us. She became a member of our family and we will always cherish the days she was here.
Nightingale is the real deal -- very organized and professional, and with quick (and human!) responses. Our night nurse Jojo was incredible. She was such a crucial part of our first 12 weeks of parenthood. She showed up exactly on time every single time, never missed a shift, and showed warmth and respect for our baby. She taught us how to "sleep condition" at this very young age, and by the time the contract ended, our baby was sleeping through the night (no wake-ups!). We appreciated her presence so much, and I'm sure she is in high demand.
Great night nurse agency. They replied same-day (over a weekend!) and matched us with a care expert who did a great job.
This was the best service we could have ever asked for as new parents! Jojo took care of our baby for 5 weeks and she was an absolute joy. She is so sweet, loving, and genuinely adored our child.
Rosemaire is an incredible person and made our life feel a little bit smoother from the very first day. We are so grateful she was willing to take on our family as we had a unique situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling or needing help, as her help was monumental to us in a time we were drowning.
As very sleep deprived first time parents, Nightingale Night Nurses was a lifesaver when we needed overnight support for our newborn, quickly. The team quickly connected us with Marcelline, who was warm, kind, extremely experienced and always professional. We trusted Marcelline immediately to take care of our baby while my husband and I were able to get a full night's rest, which is a huge gift to any parent. The interviews, getting matched and having Marcelline in our home was a quick and painless process. Highly recommend Nightingale Night Nurses!!
I can't say enough good things about Nightingale Night Nurses. We are so thankful to have had Tricia in our lives. She was with us twice and both times were wonderful. She made c-section recovery much easier. Karina was great to work with, she was so helpful in explaining everything and answering questions. I was very comfortable with having someone new in my home and taking care of my babies (while I slept!). It was amazing to get a good night sleep while my babies were healthy and well taken care of. I've recommended Nightingale and will continue to do so.
Wonderful agency that really helped us out. Our nightingale JoJo was incredible with our newborn daughter and wonderfully kind and fun for us to be around also. Would use them again in a heartbeat!
We chose Nightingales because they had great communication, it was so easy to schedule the consult and the nurse, and everyone was so friendly. Kyri came to our house and she was experienced, lovely and reliable. It was a pleasure having her in our home and I felt very comfortable and confident with her caring for our daughter. I definitely recommend Nightingales and I personally look forward to working with them again (e.g., with help sleep training!!)
Our Nightingale was incredible! We wished we could keep her with us forever. She was a calm presence, so knowledgeable, and a tremendous help for us. Highly recommend
Toierasa helped us with our preemie newborn for 3 weeks and she was fantastic! We could sleep soundly at night knowing our baby is safe. We cannot say enough nice things about Toierasa and would absolutely love to work with her again!
The Nightingale Nurse team swooped in quickly and supported us at a time when we needed them most. They were so wonderful and took the most amazing care of our niece (and us at times : ). They were knowledgeable, calm, patient, understanding and consistently went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while teaching us skills and tricks on how to soothe and support our niece. I cannot say enough amazing things about this company and everyone we interacted with. From the initial moment I sent in the intake form, they immediately got in contact with me and made all communication as seamless as possible. Thank you to the Nightingale Night Nurse team. We are forever grateful for you!!
We were so pleased with Nightingale Night Nurses and Lexi who came to our home! We were panicked after a first night home with our baby and Lexi calmed us and gave us some very helpful nighttime tips (as well as a decent night’s sleep). They were very professional and the bio that came with the nightingale put as at ease.
We had a great experience with them! I had a last minute request for a night nurse and they were so accommodating and found someone to help us. The nurse we had was wonderful! She was so knowledgeable and helpful and gave us some great tips on getting our baby closer to sleeping through the night.
My husband and I used NNN for night nanny services for our twin girls from birth through 3 months for a varying number of nights per week. The communication was incredible and the nanny (and substitute/additional Nannies) we were paired up with were so well trained, kind, and caring towards our daughters. Specifically I cannot speak highly enough about Ashley and Toireasa who we worked with the most. Having them as a part of our team during those first few nights made such a positive impact on my mental health and gave us the ability to get some much needed rest (especially with a toddler also at home). Throughout the three months, the NNN team was so flexible and accommodating with additional day requests and date changes when possible. I wish we had done this with our older daughter and would definitely recommend.
