Find Trusted Newborn Care in Austin
Newborn care specialists and overnight newborn nannies are angels for sleepless parents. Many of our families attribute their sanity to these services! These infant caregivers help new parents achieve a restful night’s sleep so they have more energy to devote to their families and their work.
Professional Care for Families
Mom’s Best Friend provides professional overnight newborn care to help parents get restful sleep. Our experienced night nannies undergo a thorough screening process, and many have previously served MBF families, adding an extra layer of trust. These skilled specialists offer reliable support during challenging nighttime hours, giving families peace of mind and much-needed rest.
How We Can Help You
Newborn nannies get up with the baby, feed (or bring the baby to the nursing mom), change, and soothe the baby. Our Austin newborn care specialists and overnight newborn nannies are also sleep training experts.
Professional Newborn Care Specialists and Overnight Newborn Nannies are highly sought after because of their depth of experience and are booked for a minimum of 4 weeks for at least 3 nights per week (most commonly, they are booked for 3-month assignments), working 8-12 hour shifts. They are often booked months out in advance, but occasionally we can accommodate immediate requests.
Note: Sometimes these caregivers are also referred to as night nannies, night nurses, baby nurses, etc. If you are seeking 24-hour care, please schedule a call.
Pricing
Mom’s Best Friend fees are transparent and worth every moment of time saved! Like you, we won’t compromise, and because of that, the majority of our business comes from returning Austin families and word-of-mouth referrals.
