  • "My family loved working with Take Care Mommy for our night nursing support. Communication with Meagan and her team was excellent, always quick, clear, and incredibly responsive. We were especially grateful for Allison, our night nurse. She helped us get much-needed rest, even with breastfeeding and pumping in the mix. She handled bottle feeds, diaper changes, laundry, and all the washing and sanitizing of bottles and pump parts with such care. She was consistently on time, dependable, and made the transition to newborn life so much easier for our family. Highly recommend!"

  • "Take Care Mommy is INCREDIBLE! As a second time mom, I knew how hard the postpartum period can be. My husband and I wanted to be proactive in hiring Take Care Mommy. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. We worked with Jordan, and I can't recommend her enough. As a type A mom with lots of anxiety, I was very nervous to hand my newborn over. However, Jordan made us feel comfortable right off the bat. She was competent, knowledgeable, friendly, and so trustworthy. She helped support my breastfeeding journey and ensured that my baby and I were completely taken care of. She made our lives night and day easier than our first postpartum experience. She was such an important part of our newborn village, and I'll be forever thankful for her help and for setting our new family of four up for success. WELL worth the money spent!"

  • Overnight newborn care often begins once your baby is home from the hospital, though start timing can be adjusted based on your family’s needs. We’ll confirm details together during the planning process.

  • Overnight shifts typically range from 8 to 12 hours and may be scheduled anywhere from one to seven nights per week, depending on availability and your preferences.

  • Yes. To ensure availability, families are asked to commit to a minimum schedule so caregivers can reserve and block off the agreed-upon time. Additional nights or extended support may be added as availability allows, offering flexibility as your needs evolve.

  • Not at all. Overnight care is designed to support your rest and recovery while your baby is cared for with calm, attentive support. Parents remain fully involved in decision-making, and care is always aligned with your comfort level.

  • Overnight support focuses on attentive newborn care and maintaining a calm nighttime environment. While your baby rests, support may also include light, baby-related tasks such as washing bottles or baby laundry.

  • Families are matched with carefully vetted postpartum doulas or newborn care specialists based on experience, availability, and fit. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with your match before care begins.

  • During periods when your baby is resting, overnight caregivers may rest as well, remaining available and attentive to your baby’s needs. Care is always structured around your baby’s safety and well-being, and expectations are clearly discussed and agreed upon in advance so families feel comfortable and informed.

  • Not necessarily. Some families use overnight care for a short period, while others continue longer based on their needs. We’ll help you determine what level of support makes sense for your family.
