I’ve spent more than 15 years supporting families through birth, postpartum recovery, and overnight newborn care. I began my career as a professional nanny, working closely with more than a dozen children over several years. In 2008, I was honored to be recognized as Nanny of the Year by Family Helpers, and the following year I was selected as a finalist to appear on ABC’s America’s Supernanny. In 2009, I trained as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. Around the same time, I became a parent myself. Experiencing the postpartum period firsthand gave me a deeper understanding of how vulnerable, complex, and important those early weeks can be. That experience ultimately shaped my decision to focus my work on supporting families during birth and the transition home with a new baby. Over the years, I have attended 112 births and supported more than 200 families, including 39 sets of twins, through postpartum and overnight newborn care. As my private practice grew, I founded Nightingale Night Nurses, an overnight newborn care agency based in Massachusetts. Through that work, I built and led a team of experienced Postpartum Doulas, Newborn Care Specialists, and nurses, creating individualized care plans for families seeking overnight and extended newborn support. Building on that foundation, I later expanded the work nationally under the name Well Supported Family, with a continued focus on ethical practices, professional sustainability, and high-quality, family-centered care. We would love the opportunity to support your family's postpartum experience.

Well Supported Family provides experienced in-home support for families during the newborn and early postpartum period. Our team includes Newborn Care Specialists, Postpartum Doulas, and nurses who offer overnight newborn care, postpartum recovery support, and guidance for feeding, sleep, and newborn development. Whether families need help during the night so they can rest, hands-on education as they adjust to life with a new baby, or ongoing support during the first months at home, our goal is to provide calm, knowledgeable care that helps parents feel confident and well supported.
As new parents, can't imagine what we would have done without Bethany and Keyana's support. The mental, emotional, and physical support and care is priceless during the newborn phase and we cannot recommend Well Supported Family enough- especially for new parents! Thank you Karina and team for taking such good care of us so we in turn could take care of our son.

Breanne is absolutely fantastic! She provided the highest level of care for our newborn, helping us get rest when we desperately needed it. She offered a great deal of support and guidance to help get our baby sleeping longer stretches, making an overwhelming time much easier on us. Breanne provided above and beyond emotional support as well, checking in on me when I was dealing with mastitis, providing support via text during her off nights, baking my family homemade chocolate chip cookies, and even bringing gifts for my baby and 4 year old. Anyone would be extremely lucky to have help from Breanne! ❤️

We had an incredible experience with Well Supported Family. From the very beginning, the team made us feel confident and supported during such a vulnerable time. Our Newborn Care Specialist was not only kind and professional, but also incredibly knowledgeable about safe sleep and newborn care. Within just a short time, we felt more rested and much more confident as parents. The guidance we received around sleep and routines was gentle, realistic, and truly effective. It never felt rigid or overwhelming, just thoughtful support that actually worked. I would recommend Well Supported Family to any new parent looking for safe, reliable, and compassionate care.
- Jenny S.
We had a wonderful experience working with Well-Supported Family. Mollie was incredibly responsive, always providing clear and helpful answers, and you could really tell she put effort into making everything seamless for us. We renewed our contract multiple times, and each time she made the process quick, easy, and stress-free, which we truly appreciated. Marcelline, our night nurse, was absolutely fantastic. She was consistently prompt—and took great care of our girls. We would wake up each morning to happy, smiling babies, which speaks volumes. She kept detailed notes, helped with cleaning, and handled everything with professionalism and care. Beyond that, she was warm, kind, and a genuine pleasure to have in our home. We are so grateful for all that she did for our family.
- Melissa Mazlin Kimmel
Our nightingale Hannah was wonderful. We had her come for 3 weeks when our baby was around 2 months and it was amazing. We learned a lot from her and she was very caring and gentle with our daughter. I would recommend this to any new parent who is struggling in the sleep department
- Kira Lew
We are so lucky to have found Well Supported Family! We had ad-hoc support with our first baby and knew we wanted more consistent overnight care for our second (especially considering the energy we'd need for our toddler!). Karina was incredible in helping us figure out exactly what we wanted/needed (3x/week, starting a month after birth, etc.) and our assigned Nightingale, Alba, was truly so wonderful!!! We met on FaceTime before she started to make sure our personalities matched up well and it felt very comfortable right off the bat. Because I was exclusively breastfeeding, Alba offered recommendations for feeding to ensure baby and I were both happy, came with suggestions to help stretch baby's sleep windows once he was ready, and was so accommodating whenever anyone needed to reschedule. We love Alba so much, after our second night, we recommended WSF to a friend looking for a night nurse. As our last night approaches, we decided to see if we could extend Alba! JUST HIRE WSF! They will change your life. Thank you so much, Karina, Alba, and team!
- Jai R.
We started out thinking we would only need 8 weeks of assistance, and ended up keeping our night nurse on for 6 months! She became a part of our family. The absolute best investment we ever made was hiring Well Supported Family to care for our twin boys overnight. We will miss Amanda dearly!
- corina olsen
My family has had the absolute pleasure of being matched with Cjaisey as our Newborn Care Specialist and Night Nanny. She has been instrumental in our success in becoming new parents to twins. She is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and kind. The experience and wealth of knowledge she brings to her profession has been invaluable. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to other families looking for assistance and guidance in caring for their children. Additionally, working with Well Supported Family was an incredibly positive experience for us. Karina was warm, welcoming, and professional from our first interaction. She answered many questions along the way and made sure we were paired with the perfect person for our family. We were also regularly provided with meaningful resources throughout our tenure as clients. I would absolutely recommend the services of Well Supported Family to anyone looking for childcare services. Cjaisey's professionalism and experience are unmatched. She is timely and reliable, both important qualities in a childcare professional. She approaches her job with a sure hand, which offers her clients the peace of mind that their children are in the care of a trained and skilled specialist. She pulls from her wide scope of knowledge and experience to answer questions, both simple and complex. She approaches challenges and questions by offering options and guidance, while always considering the individual needs of the family and child. When necessary, she performs additional research and is always happy to provide said research and resources to her clients. Cjaisey is also an uncommonly kind person. She supported our family through our transition into becoming new parents in a way that I wish was possible for every new parent to have. She is thoughtful, flexible, considerate, and gentle. It always felt easy to have her in our home. She quickly became an integral part of our village, and I will be forever personally grateful to her for her support and encouragement in my journey into motherhood. Cjaisey should be any family's first choice as a Newborn Care Specialist or Caregiver. Not only will she provide the best quality care available, but she will become a true part of the family dynamic. I will mourn the loss of her in our everyday life, but I know I will carry every bit of advice, patience, and knowledge she imparted to us throughout my life as a parent.
- Meaghan Robinson
Priscilla was absolutely fantastic. She took great care of our newborn (and us!) and was a huge help in settling some anxious first time parents into a comfortable routine.
- Jordan Samiljan
We had a really great experience with JennMarie through Nightingale now known as Well Supported Family. Having a newborn is exhausting and overwhelming, especially at night, and she made a huge difference for our family. She was calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. It was obvious she has extensive experience with newborns, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our baby. She handled everything with confidence and care, which allowed us to actually rest. Beyond just getting sleep, I learned so much from her. She answered questions, shared practical tips, and helped us feel more confident as new parents. Karina, who coordinated scheduling, was also wonderful to work with. She is organized, responsive, and easy to communicate with. If you’re a new mom considering overnight support, I genuinely recommend JennMarie and the Nightingale team. It’s not just about catching up on sleep, it’s about having experienced, steady support during a really vulnerable season.
- Parisa Hassanzadeh
An amazing group of professionals to help you through the beautiful yet fragile chaos that is bringing a newborn home! Cannot recommend them enough!! Our Nightingales Stacey and Toireasa were nothing sort of AMAZING!! Such caring, kind, and thoughtful professionals that helped us get the rest we needed to be at our best for our baby. We’re so thankful for them!
- Gianinna Arias
Jennifer-Lynn quite literally changed my postpartum experience in the best way. I trusted her completely and was able to actually rest and recover after giving birth. She was with us 4 nights a week. She was quiet, considerate, respectful and kind. I knew she was taking amazing care of my son, and she provided details about his schedule every morning. I am devastated our time with her has come to an end. I felt truly cared for during her time with us. I can't thank her enough. I wish she could stay with us forever!
- Meredith Milstein
Would absolutely recommend Well Supported Family. Our nightingale was Nishante and she absolutely became like part of the family, providing us with her knowledge and tips while working alongside our comforts and ensuring we were doing what we wanted for our son. She was honest and open with us on what she believed was working and gently helped us through transitions such as the swaddle to sleep sack. He has been an absolute amazing sleeper doing 6:30/7 to anywhere from 6 to 7 the next morning without needing a feed overnight most of the time! We couldnt be more thankful for this experience!
- Kayla McGrail
The agency was very professional and easy to communicate with and the nannies we got paired with were wonderful! We were so lucky to have them.
- Samantha Shalom
We had very specific short-term needs, but the team at Well Supported Family worked closely with us to find what worked best for our family. Each step of tne process was explained clearly, made simple, and completed expeditiously. Our situation was time sensitive, and Well Supported Family went above and beyond to make it happen for us. We are so grateful for the excellent care our newborn care specialist provided and the peace of mind that it gave us was invaluable.
- Linda
We had a wonderful experience with Nightingales. We interviewed several agencies, and Nightingales stood far above the rest in how genuinely they cared about finding the right fit for our family. From the very beginning, they were timely, responsive, and thoughtful. They worked with all of our small requests and took the time to ensure we felt completely comfortable and confident in our decision. Knowing our newborn was in such caring and capable hands gave us real peace of mind. We are so grateful for their support and highly recommend them.
- Katie Malfettone
The team is so great to work with always checking in and doing the best to keep me busy I so appreciate them they do a lot to match me with terrific families 🌈
- kim 1
Well Supported Services was thoughtful, professional, and attentive from the very beginning, making the entire process feel seamless and reassuring. Tanisha was an incredible source of steady support—knowledgeable, intuitive, and deeply caring—helping me feel confident, rested, and truly supported during a time when that care made all the difference.
- Alyssa
Our nightingale Jhenelle was wonderful. She helped us survive the first month. Always offered advice when asked. I felt my baby was safe with her. Ladies making this happen were great. Whole process was easy, they kept in touch - checking in. Could not be happier with the service. Recommend 100%!
- Yvonne Iseley
Shannon came to us for night time doula-postpartum. Great experience and gave me just what I needed for support after I had my baby. She was kind, my baby enjoyed the time with her. She very knowledgeable and experienced. I would absolutely recommend her.
- Brittany Butler
My night nightingale Thalia was a lifesaver. As a first time mom and not knowing day from night, she helped me and my baby sleep so we could be at our best during day hours. The whole team at WSF/Nightingales were incredibly responsive , profesional and I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a night nanny go with them.
- Cata Lambersky
Incredible to work with! Extremely kind, caring and empathetic while at the same time very responsive. The doula they paired us with was an amazing addition to our family for 5 weeks. I couldn’t imagine the start of post Partum without them!
- Kaitlin Winterstein
Nadia was an absolute godsend. She began working with our son when he was just two days old and stayed with us through nine weeks, and we truly could not imagine those early days without her. We felt comfortable with her from the very start—she brought such calm, warmth, and confidence that we knew our baby was in the best hands each night, which allowed us to truly rest. She cared for our son with so much tenderness, but she was equally supportive of us as brand-new parents—guiding us, reassuring us, and giving us practical tips that made each week feel easier. Thanks to her, our son is already nearly sleeping through the night. She was also incredibly supportive of my breastfeeding journey. She offered thoughtful guidance without a hint of judgment and fully supported every decision I made. She helped me build a strong supply while I was exclusively pumping, and later helped me gently and comfortably transition to formula when I was ready. Her knowledge of newborns is exceptional, yet she always respected our preferences and adapted to our family’s needs. And I have to say—working with Nightingale as a service made everything so easy. The entire process of finding and booking Nadia was seamless, and the experience from start to finish felt thoughtful, professional, and supportive. We are going to miss her so dearly. Any family would be beyond lucky to have her.
- Isabella Arnao
We really liked working with Well supported family (formerly Nightingale nurses, when we worked with them). The process is super well organized and our contact Karina was always very responsive and flexible based on our needs. Heather, our night nurse in Boston, was simply amazing! You can tell she looooves babies and empathizes greatly with all the changes they have to go through as they adjust to the outside world. Heather was very helpful, took great care of my baby girl, and was knowledgeable yet flexible depending on what we need (to be waken up to nurse, to bottle feed etc). This is the kind of person we were looking for, and I got the impression that WSF has all kinds of night nurse personalities depending on what you need (eg more or less prescriptive, etc). We keep referring our friends to this service and would definitely recommend it. Start early so you have more options choose from!
- Viktoria
We had a good experience with Well supported family and we loved our nightingale, Racquel. She was easy to talk to, punctual, positive, trustworthy, and I could tell she genuinely cared about our daughter! Racquel was great and we loved having her care for our baby!
- Alix Jorgensen
Had a great experience. Ally was the best, and Karina made the whole process seamless!
- Erica Goldman
We had the most positive experience with Nightingale and JoJo. I can’t thank both of them enjoy for the peace of mind and help they provided when my son was first born. Highly recommend using this service!!
- Ally Bartram
Ally was beyond exceptional. We loved her from the moment she arrived. Her knowledge and expertise regarding all things baby—not just sleep, were more than we could have asked for. Her experience as a NICU/PICU nurse made us feel even more comfortable. She cared for and loved our little girl like her own, and offered so much useful information for parent training, from breast feeding and pumping tips to information about leaps and skill acquisition and regressions. We wish we could have kept her forever! Not only is she amazing with babies but she is just such a kind, caring, smart person and was a pleasure to get to know and chat with. We could not have imagined a better fit for our family!
- Andrea Boccia
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Jazmine, who has been our night nurse for the past couple of months, caring for our infant son. From her very first night with us, Jazmine brought a calm, reassuring presence into our home. She has shown tremendous expertise, warmth, and professionalism in every aspect of our son's care. If you are debating whether or not you should call Nightingale- this is your sign. - Sincerely, “an overtired and overstimulated mom of two boys!”
- Rebecca West
Melody has seamlessly integrated into our home and we felt so comfortable with her from day one. She is a great, gentle, soft communicator, is flexible, has a suggestive and understanding guidance style and asks thoughtful questions in order to make recommendations that work best for us.
- Katarina Garner
We cannot possibly recommend Stacey highly enough. She became such a trusted, beloved presence in our family, and saying goodbye was truly bittersweet. Any family who has the opportunity to work with her should consider themselves incredibly fortunate—she is a total treasure.
- Rachel Cargo
We had a great experience! Nalda was our night nurse and she was so caring and good with our daughter!
- Morgan Kommer
It was amazing working with Nightingale! Our postpartum Doula Cjaisey was so helpful, kind, and wonderful to work with. She was extremely detailed in all her support and all the resources and guidance she shared. I could rest so easy knowing she was there and with Phoebe. I am so thankful to have been able to work with her and she felt part of our family in those special newborn times. She also was very professional in how she would arrive, take care of the baby products, and communicate around support!
- caitlyn czisny
We had an awesome experience with Jenn-Marie; she was great at troubleshooting issues with the baby and had a calm lovely presence in the household. Highly recommend!
- Sophie Smith
Our nightingale Lauren was lovely to work with, always on time and took great care of our newborn. She was very kind and we knew our baby was in good hands every night. She was also accommodating to our schedules, very forthcoming with ways to assist us, helping clean pump parts and bottles in the middle of the night and insightful with information about a variety of questions we had as new parents. We would highly recommend Well Supported Family!
- Kristyn Anderson
Erlisha was incredible. I will admit I was a little nervous to allow essentially a stranger in my home to care for my brand new baby, but she was so kind, patient, and caring that it made my mama heart feel at ease. I cannot say enough great things about Erlisha and how knowledgeable and respectful she was. She made herself available to me to text at any time, and went above and beyond to send recommendations and suggestions
- Stephanie Thirjung
Emily was wonderful. We are so grateful for her amazing work and care for our triplets. She has a true gift to take care of babies. We miss her and can’t thank the agency enough for matching us together! Thanks everyone!
- Stephanie Epstein
Robin was wonderful. She went out of her way to check in with us leading up to our due date and made us feel comfortable even before she came over for the first night. She was so sweet with our son and so encouraging of us!
- Lily Walsh
We needed to find night nannies at the last minute eligible for Carrot reimbursement. Nightingale Night Nurses was able to put together a schedule which met our needs and answered my questions about Carrot. Kristin and Karina were always easy to reach by email, text, or phone and we were able to book everything without a hassle. The night nannies provided (Rachael and Carolina) were excellent. We trusted them completely to take care of our baby, and we were able to get a full night's sleep. Nightingale Night Nannies made the first 6 weeks a breeze compared to when we had our first baby.
- Matthew Pencer
As new parents, those early days were a mix of joy, exhaustion, and steep learning curves. From the very first night our Nightingale Night Nurse brought a calm, reassuring presence into our home. She is not only exceptionally knowledgeable about infant care—including feeding, swaddling, diapering, and establishing healthy sleep routines—but also incredibly nurturing and thoughtful in her approach. Her ability to intuit our son’s needs, while supporting us as parents, was truly invaluable.
- Elena Havas Taylor
Really amazing service. So professional and responsive. we were paired with a fantastic NCS that was calm, very knowledgeable and I felt truly cared for our newborn. All of her advice was evidence based which I really appreciated. I learned so much and by the end of our 6 weeks our baby was already sleeping long stretches. Couldn’t recommend this service enough for new parents.
- Carla Canepa
We've worked with three Nightingales. All of them were experienced doulas who truly cared. Working with an agency also showed its value - they coordinated care seamlessly. Highly recommend. 100 out of 10.
- L Z
Heather was an amazing support to our family. She is incredibly professional, timely, respectful of our space, and most important of all, caring to our son. We had our best nights of sleep with her help!
- Vika Betin
Our night nurse was very professional and supportive throughout my journey into motherhood. She constantly checked in and cared for our family like one of her own. We had a wonderful experience with Analuisa
- Mikinzie Kwon
Extremely pleased with the agency. All of their nightnurses are well-vetted and trained and we had a terrific experience. The agency made everything extremely easy for us in terms of finding help, scheduling, etc. Highly, highly recommend!
- Stefanie Jagielski
They are the best! We were in a pinch and needed help within days. Nightingale came to the rescue and gave us an amazing night nanny. Thank you!
- Marc Wayshak
We were delighted that Nightingale was able to support us on a last minute and short-term basis. It was easy to communicate with their support team and they were available 7 days a week. We found each of their night nurses welll qualified and enjoyed working with them. We will use Nightingale again and highly recommend them for new mothers and families alike.
- sam calvanese
We had the best experience with our amazing night nurse, Jhenelle. Karina and the other ladies at Nightingale were so helpful, professional and responsive. They made everything seamless. Would 100% recommend.
- Caitlin Kelley
Couldn't have been happier with our decision to work with Nightingale. Every interaction we had with Karina and the team was top notch. Timely responses, clear communication, and extremely professional. We were matched with an excellent overnight specialist (Dia) who was the absolute best. We're so lucky we found her. Would give 6 stars if I could I highly recommend working with this company!
- Alex Ng
A great investment in the wellbeing of both our baby and parents. They provide great care and you know your baby is in good hands so you can get some much needed rest
- Tricia Ryan
Very happy that we decided to go with 3N (my super cool nicknames for Nightingale Night Nurses). I felt relieved knowing that their candidates were certified & background checked. We absolutely loved the nanny who was placed with our family and will be sad to see her go when our contract is up. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to bring on an extra set of hands.
- Katie Lerro
Wonderful and supportive night nurses!
- Dakota Donovan
Highly dependable night nurse / nanny company. Karina is the best when it comes to empathizing with new parents, and finding them night nannies that are a good fit.
- Nisch B
We used Nightingale Nurses for the first 2 months of our baby's life and had 3 different nurses (due to changes in our schedule more than anything else). All 3 nurses were absolutely amazing. I felt confident and comfortable leaving my baby in their care. We appreciated that all of their nurses were screened, CPR certified and up to date on vaccines. Unlike other services, I felt that their care was backed and supported by science. And as a FTM they helped me getting my baby to sleep as well! Always happy to give me tips and tricks.
- Aly Fiebrantz Awsare
Nightingale was fantastic in setting me up with our night doula who completely saved us the first 6 weeks of our son’s life! They seamlessly helped me with reimbursement and scheduling- highly recommend!
- Stefanie Scari
Nightingale Night Nurses was incredible to work with. The night nurse they paired us with was perfect for our child and our family. Everything went incredibly smoothly and our night nurse helped improve our daughter's sleep tremendously. We also found it incredibly easy to work with the agency as well. Of all the agencies we spoke with Nightingale was the most professional, most knowledgeable, and most willing to work with us to find the perfect night nurse for us.
- John Klimp
As a first-time mom, Nightingale Night Nurses were so helpful! I was matched with a great nurse that helped me get much needed sleep post-pregnancy! We originally signed on for 8 weeks, but added an additional 4 weeks. The nurses provided much appreciated guidance and reassurance during the early days of motherhood. I would definitely recommend their services as they were great to work, flexible and understanding of our needs, during an exciting time in our lives.
- Audrey Reynolds
So happy I found nightingales. From start to finish they were top notch. They paired me with a postpartum doula who traveled to me in Florida. The Doula was fabulous, and dealing with Kristin and the team at nightingale made the process so easy. Highly recommend.
- David Barry
Not only did our nightingale take excellent care of our baby, she was a guide for us as new parents. She helped us learn how to take care of our baby, take care of ourselves, and develop a routine that worked for all of us. She became a member of our family and we will always cherish the days she was here.
- Abigail Lake Harvey
Nightingale is the real deal -- very organized and professional, and with quick (and human!) responses. Our night nurse Jojo was incredible. She was such a crucial part of our first 12 weeks of parenthood. She showed up exactly on time every single time, never missed a shift, and showed warmth and respect for our baby. She taught us how to "sleep condition" at this very young age, and by the time the contract ended, our baby was sleeping through the night (no wake-ups!). We appreciated her presence so much, and I'm sure she is in high demand.
- Madeline Freeman
Great night nurse agency. They replied same-day (over a weekend!) and matched us with a care expert who did a great job.
- Amy Zwanziger
We worked with some amazing nightingales. My baby was well cared for and we learned a lot! What we enjoyed most about the experience was that they embraced our family and i truly felt like my baby was being cared for by a family member. Highly recommend!
- Abbie Darula
This was the best service we could have ever asked for as new parents! Jojo took care of our baby for 5 weeks and she was an absolute joy. She is so sweet, loving, and genuinely adored our child.
- Michelle
Rosemaire is an incredible person and made our life feel a little bit smoother from the very first day. We are so grateful she was willing to take on our family as we had a unique situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling or needing help, as her help was monumental to us in a time we were drowning.
- Jacqueline Patrician
As very sleep deprived first time parents, Nightingale Night Nurses was a lifesaver when we needed overnight support for our newborn, quickly. The team quickly connected us with Marcelline, who was warm, kind, extremely experienced and always professional. We trusted Marcelline immediately to take care of our baby while my husband and I were able to get a full night's rest, which is a huge gift to any parent. The interviews, getting matched and having Marcelline in our home was a quick and painless process. Highly recommend Nightingale Night Nurses!!
- Angela Yang Gray
I can't say enough good things about Nightingale Night Nurses. We are so thankful to have had Tricia in our lives. She was with us twice and both times were wonderful. She made c-section recovery much easier. Karina was great to work with, she was so helpful in explaining everything and answering questions. I was very comfortable with having someone new in my home and taking care of my babies (while I slept!). It was amazing to get a good night sleep while my babies were healthy and well taken care of. I've recommended Nightingale and will continue to do so.
- Christine Vellucci
Wonderful agency that really helped us out. Our nightingale JoJo was incredible with our newborn daughter and wonderfully kind and fun for us to be around also. Would use them again in a heartbeat!
- Jason Bowman
We chose Nightingales because they had great communication, it was so easy to schedule the consult and the nurse, and everyone was so friendly. Kyri came to our house and she was experienced, lovely and reliable. It was a pleasure having her in our home and I felt very comfortable and confident with her caring for our daughter. I definitely recommend Nightingales and I personally look forward to working with them again (e.g., with help sleep training!!)
- Molly Macleod
Our Nightingale was incredible! We wished we could keep her with us forever. She was a calm presence, so knowledgeable, and a tremendous help for us. Highly recommend
- Tara Porter Maduri
Toierasa helped us with our preemie newborn for 3 weeks and she was fantastic! We could sleep soundly at night knowing our baby is safe. We cannot say enough nice things about Toierasa and would absolutely love to work with her again!
- Dominika Randle
The Nightingale Nurse team swooped in quickly and supported us at a time when we needed them most. They were so wonderful and took the most amazing care of our niece (and us at times : ). They were knowledgeable, calm, patient, understanding and consistently went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while teaching us skills and tricks on how to soothe and support our niece. I cannot say enough amazing things about this company and everyone we interacted with. From the initial moment I sent in the intake form, they immediately got in contact with me and made all communication as seamless as possible. Thank you to the Nightingale Night Nurse team. We are forever grateful for you!!
- Amanda Recio
We were so pleased with Nightingale Night Nurses and Lexi who came to our home! We were panicked after a first night home with our baby and Lexi calmed us and gave us some very helpful nighttime tips (as well as a decent night’s sleep). They were very professional and the bio that came with the nightingale put as at ease.
- Sarah Rana
We had a great experience with them! I had a last minute request for a night nurse and they were so accommodating and found someone to help us. The nurse we had was wonderful! She was so knowledgeable and helpful and gave us some great tips on getting our baby closer to sleeping through the night.
- Maya Balakrishnan
My husband and I used NNN for night nanny services for our twin girls from birth through 3 months for a varying number of nights per week. The communication was incredible and the nanny (and substitute/additional Nannies) we were paired up with were so well trained, kind, and caring towards our daughters. Specifically I cannot speak highly enough about Ashley and Toireasa who we worked with the most. Having them as a part of our team during those first few nights made such a positive impact on my mental health and gave us the ability to get some much needed rest (especially with a toddler also at home). Throughout the three months, the NNN team was so flexible and accommodating with additional day requests and date changes when possible. I wish we had done this with our older daughter and would definitely recommend.
- Kristen Merrigan
Having Toireasa from Nightingale’s assistance after a rough last trimester and very late and complicated delivery was the best decision we made around our pregnancy. She was so thoughtful and helpful with our baby, and in addition to her duties, with her wealth of experience was able to provide informal insight and guidance on a variety of topics including breastfeeding and pumping schedules and day and nighttime routines for our little one. We could not have been happier with our experience and much of the credit for our daughter’s wonderful sleep habits are a result of Toireasa’s great work.
- Gizem Orbey
" Sarah was kind and very informative. She answered all of my questions and appropriately directed me to the pediatrician if needed. She was flexible when the weather was tough. She also was supportive of me during the postpartum period which was much appreciated. Sarah, our nightingale, was amazing. She was kind and patient with our newborn, Maya, and very well informed about newborn development. She was able to guide my husband and I along as new parents and help us feel more prepared to handle the various stages of development. It was a pleasure to have her in our home and as a part of our family for a little while."
- Sydney Scott
Nightingales has been wonderful to work with. Their professionalism, compassion and dedication to families during the fourth trimester is priceless!
- jennifer kreiter
Rachel was so amazing. She came into our lives very swiftly as we reached out to you guys after our baby was born she was able to start nearly immediately after we got home in the hospital and it was a huge lifesaver. Rachel was so thoughtful, caring and took such good care of our baby each night she came to visit us, we loved working with her. We even extended her contract because she was giving us so much needed sleep. She would offer helpful tips and would text me before every shift to check in and see how I as a mom was doing and how our baby was doing. She was on time or early for every single shift and was so communicative and organized. I highly recommend Rachel as a night nurse, and would love to work with her again. Outside of the amazing care from Rachel, one stand out is how swiftly and quickly Nightingale Nurses was able to find me a night nurse, and get amazing care on a consistent basis for us right after our baby was born. I cannot thank you enough! I did not have a lot of parental support coming out of this birth, and your services saved my and my partners mental health because we were able to get sleep!

Rachel was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of our baby. We were able to get some great sleep knowing our baby was in such caring hands. She was also very accommodating with me pumping at night and took care of the milk and washed/sanitized all pump parts so I was set for the next morning. Plainly said: Rachel is outstanding!

I used Nightingale Night Nurses with my first baby, and my husband and I always say that it was the best money we ever spent. We were paired with Jhenelle who is not only an incredible night nurse but also a fantastic person. By the end of our 8-weeks with her, our baby is sleeping through the night for 10 hours (with just one short feeding) and can fall asleep independently. (Anyone who has had a newborn knows that this is nothing short of a miracle!) Jhenelle taught us so much, even beyond sleep, and I truly don't know what we would have done without her, especially as new parents. I am already planning (and hoping) that Jhenelle will work with us again when we have our second child.

I cannot say enough fantastic things about Nightingale Night Nurses. We just had twins in January, and they are a handful as you would expect. After much deliberation we decided to get a night nurse 1-2 nights a week, despite some initial reticence surrounding a stranger coming into our house overnight. Are babies are extremely colicky, and we needed a night to recharge after really tough evenings. Working with Kim we found exactly what we needed - someone we could rely on. After the first 10 minutes I already trusted her, based on the questions she asked, her genuine interest in our children, and her responsiveness throughout the day. If you need help at night - don't delay/waffle on the decision - I can assure you NNN is the right course of action!

We had a great experience with Nightingale for overnight care. We used them for two nights per week for the first six weeks The contracting/payment process was smooth and straightforward. Nightingale was super responsive and worked with me to use an employer benefit for reimbursement (and had experience working with this benefit, which I was appreciative of). Our nurse, Jen, was communicative, always on time and so experienced. We felt reassured by her calm demeanor and felt little nervousness handing off our newborn son after we got home from the hospital. Our son slept his best nights with Jen, and we looked forward to her visits all week through the first few difficult newborn weeks. I don’t know what we would have done without our Nightingale. Highly recommend this service to any families with a newborn.

I plan on recommending Nightingale to everyone I know. Not only was their process incredibly efficient, smooth, and communicative, but the quality of the doulas they presented me with were outstanding and actually exceeded my expectations. Laurel really blew me away on our call - she's a natural at what she does and I felt instantly comfortable with her just after a 20 minute phone convo. She is a real asset to Nightingale. The same goes for Kim - her experience almost speaks for itself, but add to that her unassuming disposition and calm nature, I can really see how she is a gift for any client. I have only good things to say about my experience!

We had a great experience. Our night nurse was extremely professional, and came to feel like a natural extension of our family. We feel like this experience was a game-changer, and would highly recommend.

Rae- Anne was a blessing to have care for our brand new daughter right after birth! Not only did she take exceptional care for her, never rushing or skipping the tiniest details, she also let us bounce ideas off her for the best feedings, growth and sleep. She gave us detailed feedback about how overnights went, which were very helpful to help us tackle the daytime and also the best strategies that would work specifically for our baby. Rae-Anne was a wealth of knowledge across all things newborn, and it was so nice to be able to consult with her on a variety of topics. We miss her dearly and would highly recommend Nightingales to any expecting parents!

We had our second child in August! At the hospital, we were running on very little sleep and with a toddler at home, we looked into the possibility of hiring a Newborn Specialist to help with overnights. After doing a lot of research, Nightingale Nurses was our best solution. Karina did an excellent job communicating and working all hours (and weekend nights) to find us the perfect fit and we could not have asked for a better experience with Nightingales!

I had a postpartum doula for 6 weeks after my second baby and it was the best decision I made! She was a godsend and so, so sweet. I worried that the experience would be awkward because it's such an intimate, raw time to invite someone into your life, and I tend to be pretty private, but it was not at all! Sophie was an angel and so knowledgeable, friendly and natural. She was amazing with both my newborn and my toddler and just so patient, warm and helpful. She easily and efficiently found ways to help around my house (and make things way more organized than I would haha), with the babies, and with my breastfeeding journey and all other things, and it was a phenomenal experience! I can't recommend Sophie or Nightingale Nurses enough.

These people are literal angels. We had a colicky baby and were literally losing our minds, and Karina was generous, attentive, and ultimately helped us get our baby to sleep! We cannot recommend them more.

Professional, reliable and trustworthy. We had a wonderful experience with our nightingale! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

If you're going to register for one thing for your new baby it should be to get a night nurse from The Nightingales. Incredibly flexible with schedule and needs, truly so grateful for the care provided to our first earthside child. Highly trained, our night nurse came quickly when the sleep deprivation was so intense we weren't sure what to do. Our night nurse not only helped to provide us some much needed sleep, but also helped to teach us helpful sleep skills and support our son with age appropriate self soothing and feeding habits. I could not recommend them enough. Worth literally every penny.

We had a great experience working with Nightingale Night Nurses. Karina and Kristen were really helpful and organized and took time to answer all of our questions. They also matched us with Erin, who was amazing with our newborn. Not only did Erin take great care of our baby she also helped guide us as first time parents. The best testimonial I can give for Erin is that our baby is now sleeping through the night at 8 weeks old. Thank you Erin and Nightingales for all of your help!
