Your Questions Answered
What does a night nanny do?
A night nanny provides expert care for your newborn during the night, handling feedings, diaper changes, and settling. This allows you to get much-needed rest while knowing your baby is safe and nurtured.
How is a night nanny different from a babysitter?
Unlike a general babysitter, our night nannies are specialized newborn professionals with deep knowledge of infant sleep, feeding routines, and postpartum recovery, offering more than just supervision.
What kind of support do you offer for newborns and parents?
We offer a holistic approach including overnight care, daytime postpartum support, sleep coaching, and lactation consulting to help families feel confident and supported in their journey.
Do you only work overnight?
No, we also provide daytime infant care and postpartum support to assist with childcare, light household tasks, and helping your family's daily life run smoothly.
How do you keep my baby safe?
Safety is our priority. Our team consists of qualified professionals who are First Aid & CPR trained, strictly follow safe sleep guidelines and are experienced in infant care, monitoring your baby closely throughout our shift. Our staff are all vetted and hold all relevant checks.
Will you follow our parenting style and preferences?
Absolutely. We take the time to understand your personal situation and preferences. Our goal is to fit seamlessly into your family village and support you in a way that feels comfortable.
Do you support breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or mixed feeding?
We support all feeding methods. Whether you are nursing, using formula, or mixed feeding, our experts—including lactation consultants—are here to help you find the best routine for your baby.
Can you help with sleep and settling?
Yes, Danielle—our Sleep Specialist—offers gentle strategies and guided one-to-one support to help improve your baby's sleep and settling patterns in a sustainable way.
What areas do you service?
We proudly offer nanny services worldwide. Although our team of employed newborn professionals are based around Australia, offering day and night infant care. As a nanny agency, we also place nannies with clients around the world and if you are looking for newborn care outside of Australia, we are able to use our connections in the industry to help you with this also.
My child is no longer an infant but I'm interested in getting some support
This is where our agency services come in. Because most of our employed staff are newborn professionals and their focus is around infant care so providing older children with a member of our team is not always suitable. Instead, we will start a separate search for a nanny that suits your family's needs and child's age and provide you with our recommended applicants, even introducing you to a third party company who can take on the employment and payroll obligations.
