Northeast
Ohio Families -
Night Nurse
Services- A night nurse is a
newborn specialist who handles
the night shift so Mom and Dad
can rest. If the baby is
bottle-fed the role of the night
nurse is to allow both parents
to get a full night’s sleep. If
Mom is breastfeeding the night
nurse brings the baby to Mom and
then settles baby back to bed to
allow for the maximum amount of
rest for Mom. Night shifts
typically range from 9-12 hours
in length depending on the needs
of each individual client.
Frequency of services vary from
3-6 nights per week with a
minimum of a 4 week contract.
Rates for night
services range depending on the
number of infants and traveling
distance to your home.
Postpartum
Doula Services- A postpartum
doula has a different role than
a baby nurse or night nurse. If
you are seeking day time support
during the postpartum period a
doula may be just what you’re
looking for. A postpartum
doula’s role is to serve and
support the new mother and help
to integrate the new baby into
the home. A doula is there to
‘mother the mother’ by offering
breastfeeding support, cooking a
meal, watching older siblings,
doing the dishes, running a few
loads of laundry or other light
housekeeping duties. As a
postpartum doula I am also
qualified to teach and answer
questions regarding your newborn
and offer hands on care for the
baby when you need a break.
Typically postpartum doula
services are offered M-F during
daytime hours.
Please note: If you are hiring me to work overnights in a location other than Northeast Ohio you will need to provide room and board as well as transportation to and from your home.
Nationwide Baby Nurse
Services -
Traveling Baby
Nurse Services- 24
hour, live in care-I work around
the clock with the exception of
a scheduled, 4-hour daily break.
At night I feed your bottle-fed
baby so you can rest. If Mom is
breastfeeding I bring baby to
Mom and then settle baby back to
bed after feeding. During the
day I resume all
responsibilities of newborn
care, as needed. While I am
available virtually around the
clock I welcome parental
involvement. You are always free
to step in and spend time with
your baby. The role of a baby
nurse is multifaceted. She is a
hands-on care provider as well
as a teacher and coach to new
parents. In addition to full
charge care she is available to
assist with the first bath,
advise on scheduling, keep
records of your newborn’s
activities/moods and handle all
baby related housekeeping
duties. For a detailed list of
baby nurse duties please visit my FAQ page.
Daily rates for
24 hour care are negotiable and
vary depending on region and
each individual situation.
Please note: When my services are
contracted for longer than 3 weeks I
require a minimum
of one day off
every other week.
