Find Night Nanny & Night Nurse Jobs in Iowa

Starting November 9th, I will need help at night for about 4 weeks. I am flexible with hours and days but will not need help Friday night or Saturday night. Baby will be about 2.5 weeks old. This is my second child. I plan on breastfeeding as well.

5th and 6th babies (twins), would like night help for first couple weeks, would also like help with picking up the house/laundry/dishes at night. Just to stay caught up and be able to get some rest.

Hi, My name is Brittany. My husband and I are expecting a baby in March 2027, and we are looking for a night nanny for about 3–6 months. We are thinking probably 10 p.m.–6 a.m., 5 nights a week, M-F. Non-smoking, no vaping, etc. is a requirement. Nanny must pass a background check, credit report and have her own transportation. We also have twins and had a wonderful experience with a night nanny when they were newborns. Our family is moving from Hawaii to Iowa, so unfortunately we won’t be able to have the same nanny for this baby. The nanny would only be responsible for the newborn. I would still get up with the twins as needed during the night. We are looking for someone who has previous experience as a night nanny, especially with newborns. CPR and First Aid certification are also important to us. This would be a live-out position, so the nanny would have their own residence. We follow a Montessori lifestyle and parenting approach, so someone who is familiar with Montessori and understands the value of it would be a big plus. As far as personality, we are looking for someone who is calm, kind, patient, reliable and trustworthy. The main responsibilities would be feeding the baby, changing diapers, washing and making bottles, cleaning up any messes, and, most importantly, helping my husband and me get some sleep! If there is time, help with laundry or dishes would be nice, but the baby would always be the priority. Our budget is flexible. Finding the right person who is a good fit for our family is the most important thing to us. Thank you, Brittany and Arun
