  • Understand your baby’s cues & how to calm your fussy baby.
  • Get your baby onto a daytime & nighttime schedule.
  • Get the restorative rest essential to be the best parent you can be during your baby’s waking hours.

We give you the tools you need to be successful in your parenting journey.

We educate you throughout your pregnancy with helpful local resources, tips on preparing and stocking the nursery, setting up your living space to have a functional nursing and changing station. We support you with hands-on breastfeeding support and teaching you to swaddle & soothe your baby and everything in between.

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!!)

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 fantastic experience with NIghingale Night Nurses. Our 'night angel' as we call her was absolutely everything we needed. We have a medically complex daughter, so having someone with experience was important to us. We had just that and more. She was great with communication, checking in on us when we had a few hospital stays and seeing how the days went leading up to her scheduled shifts, but also was prompt, timely and allowed us the rest we so desperately needed.

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.

Having Toireasa from Nightingale’s assistance after a rough last trimester and very late and complicated delivery was the best decision we made around our pregnancy. She was so thoughtful and helpful with our baby, and in addition to her duties, with her wealth of experience was able to provide informal insight and guidance on a variety of topics including breastfeeding and pumping schedules and day and nighttime routines for our little one. We could not have been happier with our experience and much of the credit for our daughter’s wonderful sleep habits are a result of Toireasa’s great work.

" Sarah was kind and very informative. She answered all of my questions and appropriately directed me to the pediatrician if needed. She was flexible when the weather was tough. She also was supportive of me during the postpartum period which was much appreciated. Sarah, our nightingale, was amazing. She was kind and patient with our newborn, Maya, and very well informed about newborn development. She was able to guide my husband and I along as new parents and help us feel more prepared to handle the various stages of development. It was a pleasure to have her in our home and as a part of our family for a little while."

Rachel was so amazing. She came into our lives very swiftly as we reached out to you guys after our baby was born she was able to start nearly immediately after we got home in the hospital and it was a huge lifesaver. Rachel was so thoughtful, caring and took such good care of our baby each night she came to visit us, we loved working with her. We even extended her contract because she was giving us so much needed sleep. She would offer helpful tips and would text me before every shift to check in and see how I as a mom was doing and how our baby was doing. She was on time or early for every single shift and was so communicative and organized. I highly recommend Rachel as a night nurse, and would love to work with her again. Outside of the amazing care from Rachel, one stand out is how swiftly and quickly Nightingale Nurses was able to find me a night nurse, and get amazing care on a consistent basis for us right after our baby was born. I cannot thank you enough! I did not have a lot of parental support coming out of this birth, and your services saved my and my partners mental health because we were able to get sleep!

Rachel was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of our baby. We were able to get some great sleep knowing our baby was in such caring hands. She was also very accommodating with me pumping at night and took care of the milk and washed/sanitized all pump parts so I was set for the next morning. Plainly said: Rachel is outstanding!

I used Nightingale Night Nurses with my first baby, and my husband and I always say that it was the best money we ever spent. We were paired with Jhenelle who is not only an incredible night nurse but also a fantastic person. By the end of our 8-weeks with her, our baby is sleeping through the night for 10 hours (with just one short feeding) and can fall asleep independently. (Anyone who has had a newborn knows that this is nothing short of a miracle!) Jhenelle taught us so much, even beyond sleep, and I truly don't know what we would have done without her, especially as new parents. I am already planning (and hoping) that Jhenelle will work with us again when we have our second child.

I cannot say enough fantastic things about Nightingale Night Nurses. We just had twins in January, and they are a handful as you would expect. After much deliberation we decided to get a night nurse 1-2 nights a week, despite some initial reticence surrounding a stranger coming into our house overnight. Are babies are extremely colicky, and we needed a night to recharge after really tough evenings. Working with Kim we found exactly what we needed - someone we could rely on. After the first 10 minutes I already trusted her, based on the questions she asked, her genuine interest in our children, and her responsiveness throughout the day. If you need help at night - don't delay/waffle on the decision - I can assure you NNN is the right course of action!

We had a great experience with Nightingale for overnight care. We used them for two nights per week for the first six weeks The contracting/payment process was smooth and straightforward. Nightingale was super responsive and worked with me to use an employer benefit for reimbursement (and had experience working with this benefit, which I was appreciative of). Our nurse, Jen, was communicative, always on time and so experienced. We felt reassured by her calm demeanor and felt little nervousness handing off our newborn son after we got home from the hospital. Our son slept his best nights with Jen, and we looked forward to her visits all week through the first few difficult newborn weeks. I don’t know what we would have done without our Nightingale. Highly recommend this service to any families with a newborn.

I plan on recommending Nightingale to everyone I know. Not only was their process incredibly efficient, smooth, and communicative, but the quality of the doulas they presented me with were outstanding and actually exceeded my expectations. Laurel really blew me away on our call - she's a natural at what she does and I felt instantly comfortable with her just after a 20 minute phone convo. She is a real asset to Nightingale. The same goes for Kim - her experience almost speaks for itself, but add to that her unassuming disposition and calm nature, I can really see how she is a gift for any client. I have only good things to say about my experience!

Rae- Anne was a blessing to have care for our brand new daughter right after birth! Not only did she take exceptional care for her, never rushing or skipping the tiniest details, she also let us bounce ideas off her for the best feedings, growth and sleep. She gave us detailed feedback about how overnights went, which were very helpful to help us tackle the daytime and also the best strategies that would work specifically for our baby. Rae-Anne was a wealth of knowledge across all things newborn, and it was so nice to be able to consult with her on a variety of topics. We miss her dearly and would highly recommend Nightingales to any expecting parents!

We had our second child in August! At the hospital, we were running on very little sleep and with a toddler at home, we looked into the possibility of hiring a Newborn Specialist to help with overnights. After doing a lot of research, Nightingale Nurses was our best solution. Karina did an excellent job communicating and working all hours (and weekend nights) to find us the perfect fit and we could not have asked for a better experience with Nightingales!

I had a postpartum doula for 6 weeks after my second baby and it was the best decision I made! She was a godsend and so, so sweet. I worried that the experience would be awkward because it's such an intimate, raw time to invite someone into your life, and I tend to be pretty private, but it was not at all! Sophie was an angel and so knowledgeable, friendly and natural. She was amazing with both my newborn and my toddler and just so patient, warm and helpful. She easily and efficiently found ways to help around my house (and make things way more organized than I would haha), with the babies, and with my breastfeeding journey and all other things, and it was a phenomenal experience! I can't recommend Sophie or Nightingale Nurses enough.

If you're going to register for one thing for your new baby it should be to get a night nurse from The Nightingales. Incredibly flexible with schedule and needs, truly so grateful for the care provided to our first earthside child. Highly trained, our night nurse came quickly when the sleep deprivation was so intense we weren't sure what to do. Our night nurse not only helped to provide us some much needed sleep, but also helped to teach us helpful sleep skills and support our son with age appropriate self soothing and feeding habits. I could not recommend them enough. Worth literally every penny.

We had a great experience working with Nightingale Night Nurses. Karina and Kristen were really helpful and organized and took time to answer all of our questions. They also matched us with Erin, who was amazing with our newborn. Not only did Erin take great care of our baby she also helped guide us as first time parents. The best testimonial I can give for Erin is that our baby is now sleeping through the night at 8 weeks old. Thank you Erin and Nightingales for all of your help!
