Night Nanny
Rested, everything gets easier. Professional overnight care so you can sleep - and recover.
A night nanny takes care of your child overnight - night feeds, diaper changes, comfort, and monitoring - so you can sleep and recover. The candidate arrives in the evening and stays until morning. Our matching prioritizes experience with night work and infant care.
Sleep deprivation changes everything
The first weeks and months with a newborn redefine exhaustion. Night feeds every two to three hours, a baby who won't settle, and the knowledge that tomorrow looks exactly the same. Sleep deprivation affects judgment, patience, relationships, and health - yet most families simply push through.
A night nanny from Nanny.nu is professional overnight care. The candidate arrives in the evening, takes full responsibility through the night, and you wake up rested. Not a luxury - a recovery strategy.
What the night nanny does
Your night nanny handles everything that happens between bedtime and morning. Night feeds - whether bottle or expressed breast milk - are managed on your schedule. Diaper changes happen quietly and efficiently. When the baby wakes and needs comfort, the night nanny is there.
For breastfeeding mothers, the arrangement adapts. You nurse when needed and hand the baby back. The night nanny handles burping, settling, and all non-nursing care. You sleep between feeds instead of lying awake waiting for the next wake-up.
The night nanny monitors your child throughout the night. This isn't passive presence - it's alert, experienced care from someone trained in infant sleep patterns and overnight needs.
Who books a night nanny
New parents in the acute newborn phase are the most common. Two to three nights per week during the first months gives enough recovery to function during the day. Some families book one night per week as scheduled recovery - knowing that Thursday night means uninterrupted sleep.
Parents of multiples - twins or more - face compounded night demands. A night nanny makes the difference between coping and struggling.
Families returning to work use a night nanny to bridge the transition. When both parents need to be functional at 8 AM, professional overnight care is practical, not indulgent.
The morning handover
When you wake up, the night nanny provides a brief summary - how the night went, when feeds happened, anything to note. This information is also logged in your matching room for continuity.
You start your day rested. Your baby had consistent, experienced care. And the night nanny returns when you need them next.
