Lexi Nelson - Night Nanny - Old Chatham, NY

About Lexi

Hi everyone! My name is Lexi, and I’m an experienced nanny transitioning into newborn night nannying. I’m currently completing my Newborn Care Specialist certification and have experience caring for infants, twins, and children with special needs. I’m also a mom myself to my toddler! After having my son in June 2025, a whole new passion opened up for me: caring for newborns and supporting moms during the postpartum period. Having experienced those early weeks myself, I know just how exhausting, overwhelming, and daunting they can be, and I would love to help make that transition a little easier for other families. I provide overnight support for families during the first 0–16 weeks of their baby’s life. While you get some much-deserved rest, I’ll care for your baby throughout the night—handling diaper changes, soothing, bottle feedings, or bringing baby to mom for breastfeeding and settling them back down afterward. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, dishes and bottles, laundry, light meal prep, and whatever else might make your life a little easier. Think of me as your night fairy! I’m truly flexible and will tailor my care to what works best for your family. In my own life as a mom, I tend to take a more Montessori-inspired approach, but when caring for your baby, I follow your lead and respect your parenting preferences. A little about me outside of childcare: I have two big dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Golden Retriever/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. I love spending time with my family and will happily drink a good iced latte no matter the season! I’d love to be part of your support system during those special first weeks with your new baby.

What to expect

Those first weeks with a newborn are incredibly special, but they can also be exhausting! I provide overnight newborn care for families during the first 0–16 weeks, allowing parents to get the rest they deserve while knowing their baby is in caring hands. Throughout the night, I can handle diaper changes, bottle feedings, burping, soothing, and settling baby back to sleep. For breastfeeding moms, I’ll bring baby to you for feeds and take over afterward so you can get right back to sleep. I can also help with bottles and dishes, baby laundry, light housekeeping, and light meal prep. Every family and every baby is different, so I’m flexible and happy to follow your routines, preferences, and parenting style. Think of me as your night fairy—here to make the newborn stage feel a little more restful and manageable!
