Night Nannies & Night Nurses Near Me in Cambridge, MA

Growing up right here in the Merrimack Valley has truly shaped who I am, both as a person and as a caregiver. Having lived and grown in this community my entire life, I have a deep love and appreciation for the families, the close-knit neighborhoods, and the unique spirit of our area! This connection drives my philosophy on childcare believing it takes a village to raise happy, healthy kids! My approach is rooted in creating a safe, nurturing, and reliable environment where children feel secure enough to learn and explore, giving you complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about their well-being. My hands-on experience spans the entire developmental spectrum, having successfully cared for children from tiny infants as young as three months old all the way up to independent 13-year-olds. A significant part of my journey includes my work at Big Blue Swim School, where I honed my ability to connect with kids of all ages, build their confidence, and manage diverse needs with patience and care. Whether it is safely navigating night-time routines and feedings for an infant, or engaging school-aged kids in meaningful ways, I bring a wealth of practical experience and a calm, structured energy to every shift. I understand how distinct each stage of childhood is, and I am dedicated to providing the specialized, attentive care your family deserves.

Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m a postpartum doula, lactation educator, and Master Health Coach with a Bachelor’s in Health Education and a passion for practical, evidence-informed, and nourishing care for mothers and families after birth. With over a decade in healthcare, I support families through the realities of early postpartum life, from physical recovery and infant feeding to newborn care, nourishing meal preparation, rest, and the everyday tasks that can feel overwhelming with a new baby. My approach is mother-first, with hands-on support that helps mothers feel cared for while they care for their babies. I’m also a mom who has experienced the messy, beautiful, and humbling parts of postpartum myself. My own recovery taught me how important practical support, nourishment, and having someone in your corner can be during those early weeks. I’m passionate about helping mothers feel informed, replenished, and supported as they recover, adjust, and settle into life with their baby.

I have worked in maternal child health for nearly two decades, supporting families of all shapes and sizes. With a background in both perinatal education and support, as well as serving as a certified lactation counselor, I am grateful to provide care for all, in whatever capacity that entails.

ERIN HAGERTY STEVENS | erin.hagety@gmail.com | (857)600-8005 | Duxbury, Massachusetts Overnight Nanny | Newborn, Preemie & Multiples Care | Family Assistant PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY Experienced childcare provider, childcare-business operator and mother of three with decades of hands-on experience caring for children, beginning with non-sibling childcare at approximately age 12. Former owner/operator of a childcare service in Bondi, Australia, where I developed and executed the marketing plan, grew the client base, coordinated additional American nannies and traveled with families throughout Australia. Earlier childcare experience includes independently creating and operating children's summer camps in Duxbury and serving as a substitute teacher in a local pre-K environment. Mother of identical premature twins, now age 11, whom I cared for from birth while simultaneously raising their then-3-year-old sister. Extensive experience with multiples, overnight infant care, feeding and sleep routines, infant reflux, dairy allergies, dietary restrictions and the realities of managing several young children's needs at once. A Communications graduate of Tulane University, I place particular importance on understanding the individual I am interacting with—whether a child, parent or fellow caregiver—and treating each person with respect. Calm, adaptable, nurturing and highly organized, I work particularly well in team-parenting environments and can quickly shift from focused one-on-one care to monitoring and engaging multiple children.

Children have different personalities, abilities, sensitivities, communication styles and developmental needs. I believe effective childcare requires observing those differences, listening carefully and adapting how I communicate and engage while maintaining appropriate boundaries, consistency and safety. I am equally comfortable providing focused individual attention or shifting quickly into group supervision when several children need attention at once. I also value a collaborative relationship with parents and other caregivers so that children receive consistent expectations and support.

Hi, I’m Lara! Heres a little of my background story: I am a mom of two boys under 5 and a former postpartum and newborn care nurse. I worked as a nurse for 10 years (5yrs on a Labor & Delivery unit), caring for postpartum mothers and babies after delivery as well as newborns in the hospital nursery. After having my second child, I became a stay-at-home mom, and now I’m excited to use my experience to support other families during such an important season of life. I offer compassionate postpartum and newborn support to help new parents feel more rested, confident, and cared for during those first days and weeks at home. Whether you need an extra set of hands with your newborn, reassurance, help with feeding routines, bottles and baby care, light household help, or simply time to rest and recharge, my goal is to provide calm, dependable, judgment-free support tailored to your family’s needs.

Hi, my name is Kimberly. I am the manager of Gentle Beginnings LLC. I started my birth doula career back in 2020. I was a new mom and realized I had a passion for doula care and I decided to jump into it! Unfortunately, the pandemic made it quite difficult to attend births in person but that didn't stop me. Over the years, I learned many new families didn't just need a support person through birth but also for all the phases that followed. Currently I'm working towards my pediatric sleep consultant certification. My business partner, Evelyn, has 30+ years of experience as a nanny and newborn care specialist, and has recently been certified as a postpartum doula as well. We both decided it was time to start a new company that offered all the services! We look forward to helping you through any part of your journey as a new family and hope you choose us as your providers!

Maybe you need a birth plan, birthing preparedness, or nursery and clothing set up. For others, the support is needed after birth itself, when you are processing the birth and healing. Getting extra physical and emotional help, and learning the routines and care of your precious newborn can be priceless. Let me help you navigate and enjoy these moments with your newborn by giving you the extra support you need. Nourishing yourself so you can better nourish your baby. Masshealth members never pay out of pocket.

As a dedicated advocate, passionate follower of God, and accomplished entrepreneur, I find joy in bringing people together. By day, I’m a writer and aspiring politician; by night, I’m a compassionate doula supporting families through transformative moments. Rooted in a deep love for community, I actively engage with organizations that empower women and girls, connecting them to vital resources and opportunities. Birth is a transformative journey that deeply affects an individual on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels. I believe that preparing for and experiencing birth empowers and illuminates not only women, but everyone involved in the process.

Hi, I'm Carrie-Lee! I'm a postpartum specialist with over fifteen years supporting families. Families I've worked with often say the same thing, that I put them instantly at ease, that I teach without ever making them feel overwhelmed, and more than one has told me they felt like they won the lottery finding me. That means everything to me. I raised three wildly creative, wonderfully unique kids to adulthood, and that experience shapes everything I bring into a family's home. Over the years I've kept training so I could support postpartum families in every direction they need it, baby care, parent education, helping parents sleep, helping baby sleep, meal prep, lactation support, all of it. So instead of piecing together three or four different specialists, you get one person who already knows your family. I'm laid back, calm under pressure, and genuinely love what I do. When I'm not with a family you'll find me camping, roller skating, gardening, canning, practicing archery, or slowly working my way toward conversational Spanish. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit!

Hi, I’m Jasmine, a certified full spectrum doula with a postpartum focus. I am currently based in Worcester, Massachusetts and serve Greater Boston and surrounding communities. My background in early childhood education, child development, and critical ethnic and community studies shapes my warm, informed, and culturally responsive approach to care. I support families through the practical and emotional realities of welcoming a new baby, including newborn care, overnight support, parental rest and recovery, feeding support within my scope, sibling transitions, meal preparation, household organization, and the creation of sustainable family routines. Because no two families or postpartum experiences are alike, I prioritize clear communication, thoughtful observation, and care that respects each family’s culture, values, and choices. My experience spans classrooms, inclusive preschool settings, early intervention, private childcare, travel care, and hands-on household and family assistance. This allows me to see the whole picture: not only what the baby needs, but what will help the entire household feel calmer, more confident, and genuinely supported. I bring a steady presence, strong attention to detail, and a judgment-free approach to every home.

Hi! My name is Renee, and I am a Registered Nurse with over 10 years of experience caring for children, newborns, and postpartum mothers. My nursing background includes working in both a pediatric department and a Mother-Infant/Postpartum unit, where I cared for newborns, supported breastfeeding and feeding, monitored newborn weight and intake/output, administered medications, and provided education and support to new parents. I currently work as a pediatric nurse and am also pursuing my Master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Beyond my professional experience, becoming a mother myself has given me an even deeper appreciation for how special—and sometimes overwhelming—the newborn stage can be. I also have personal experience with IVF, so I understand firsthand the emotional journey, anticipation, and hopes that can come with building a family. I know how precious and deeply loved these little ones are, and I approach every family with the same care, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. As a night nanny, my goal is not only to provide safe, attentive care for your baby throughout the night, but also to give parents the opportunity to rest and feel confident knowing their little one is in experienced, caring hands. I am comfortable caring for newborns, assisting with nighttime feedings, diapering, soothing, newborn routines, and communicating with parents about how the night went.
