A night nanny typically helps with overnight care such as feeding support, diaper changes, soothing, and establishing early sleep routines.

When interviewing a night nanny, consider asking about their experience with newborns, comfort with feeding methods, approach to soothing and sleep routines, and how they handle situations such as colic, reflux, or multiple wake-ups. It’s also helpful to discuss communication preferences and what updates you’ll receive overnight. A detailed list of helpful topics is included in our guide to night nanny interview questions.
