San Diego's RN-Led Overnight Care
Overnight help for the nights you cannot keep doing alone
A night nanny can be a strong fit if you are:
-
exhausted from newborn wakeups
-
recovering from birth or a C-section
-
preparing to bring your baby home from the hospital
-
struggling with feeding, soothing, or nighttime routines
-
returning to work and needing more sleep
-
caring for twins or multiple children
-
anxious about leaving your newborn with just anyone
You do not need to wait until you are completely depleted to ask for help. Night support works best when it is planned before burnout takes over.
What does a night nanny do?
A night nanny provides overnight newborn and infant care so parents can get longer stretches of rest.
During the night, your night nanny supports your baby’s feeding routine, diaper changes, soothing, burping, settling, safe sleep practices, and basic baby-related tasks.
For many families, the biggest value is not just having another person in the home. It is being able to sleep knowing your baby is being cared for by someone calm, experienced, and attentive.
During an overnight shift, support may include:
-
bottle feeding or bringing baby to mom for breastfeeding
-
diaper changes
-
burping and soothing
-
helping baby settle safely back to sleep
-
washing bottles and pump parts used overnight
-
light baby-related tidying
-
tracking feeds, diapers, and sleep patterns
-
helping parents understand what happened overnight

Our goal is to help your family feel steadier, safer, and more confident at home.
Night nanny vs. night nurse: what is the difference?
Many parents use the terms “night nanny” and “night nurse” interchangeably when searching for overnight newborn help. In general, a night nanny focuses on non-medical overnight baby care, while a night nurse may refer to care provided by a licensed nurse, depending on the situation and provider.
At Adore & Cherish, our night nanny support is designed for families who need overnight newborn care, rest, feeding support, soothing help, and guidance during the early weeks home. Our RN-led model gives families the added reassurance of experienced newborn and postpartum knowledge while staying within the appropriate scope of care.
Service | Best For | Main Focus |
|---|---|---|
Night Nanny | Exhausted parents needing overnight newborn care | Feeding support, diapering, soothing, settling, parent rest |
Night Nurse | Families seeking nurse-level care or medical support | Will involve licensed nursing care depending on need |
Postpartum Doula | Families wanting emotional, practical, and household support | Non-medical postpartum support and adjustment |
Night nanny care can be especially helpful for…
First-time Parents
When everything feels new and you want reassurance that your baby’s nighttime patterns are normal.
C-Section Recovery
When getting in and out of bed repeatedly makes healing harder.
Breastfeeding families
When you need support with bringing baby to you, burping, diapering, and resettling after feeds.
Bottle-feeding families
When you need help with overnight feeds, bottle prep, cleaning, and tracking.
Twins and multiples
When nighttime logistics are too much for one exhausted parent to manage alone.
Working parents
When sleep deprivation is making work, caregiving, and recovery unsustainable.

Mari has a gentle, kind spirit and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She would be an absolute gift to anyone looking for extra support as they navigate the 4th trimester.
Amanda B. CNM (Midwife)
What truly stood out was how amazing Mari was with our newborn-especially when it came to feeding. Mari patiently guided us through feeding techniques, helped troubleshoot challenges, and taught us essential newborn practices that made a huge difference during those early days at home. She never rushed me and always made sure I felt supported, reassured, and empowered as a new mother.

As a first-time father, I can honestly say that Mari was an incredible support for both my wife and my family. From the very beginning, she put us at ease with her calm presence, deep knowledge, and genuine care. Mari gave my wife clear, practical advice from labor and delivery, and all the way through the first week of coming home. She was always explaining things in a way that made us feel confident rather than overwhelmed.
