San Diego's RN-Led Overnight Care
A night nanny may be a strong fit if you are:
Exhausted from frequent newborn wakeups
Recovering from birth or a C-section
Preparing for your first nights home
Returning to work and needing reliable rest
Caring for twins or feeling uneasy leaving your newborn with someone who is not medically trained
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 Nurse | Families wanting RN-led newborn care, experienced guidance, and added peace of mind | Hands-on newborn care, feeding support, parent education, and informed RN observation |
Postpartum Doula | Families wanting emotional, practical, and household support | Non-medical postpartum support and adjustment |

Families We Serve
Mari was a lifesaver as things did not go as planned for the birth of my baby. She anticipated needs before I even realized them, handled our baby with such gentleness and expertise, and made sure I could get the rest I desperately needed.

(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.
