Restful Nights for New Families, By Referral
Nana's Nest pairs your family with RN-caliber overnight newborn care and gentle, evidence-based sleep training — discreet, personalized, and available primarily through referral and private introduction.
Two Ways We Support Your Family
From the first sleepless week home to the first full night's sleep as a family, Nana's Nest offers hands-on overnight care and a personalized path to healthy sleep.
Newborn Night Nursing
An RN-caliber overnight caregiver in your home — feedings, soothing, and true postpartum recovery for you, from the first night home.
- Feedings, burping & diaper changes overnight
- Postpartum recovery support for parents
- Twins, multiples & NICU-graduate experience
Sleep Training & Coaching
A gentle, evidence-based, and fully customized sleep plan — built around your baby's temperament, not a one-size-fits-all method.
- Personalized written sleep plan
- Nightly text & phone support
- In-home or virtual consultations
A Thoughtful, Unhurried Process
A Warm Introduction
Most families come to us through an obstetrician, doula, pediatrician, or a past Nana's Nest family. New to us? Start with a private inquiry — we personally read every message.
Private Consultation
We'll talk through your due date, household, and goals for overnight care or sleep — no pressure, no scripts.
A Thoughtful Match
We pair your family with the right night nurse or certified sleep consultant from our curated roster — matched for experience and fit, not availability alone.
Ongoing Care & Support
From your first overnight shift to your last sleep-plan check-in, you'll have a direct line to your caregiver and to our team.

Our night nurse gave us our lives back for those first six weeks. We finally slept, and we felt genuinely cared for, not just staffed.
