We were fortunate enough to get one of the best night nurses out there. Nancy was incredible. From the first interaction over the phone, we felt totally comfortable with her. The first night she arrived and immediately sparked conversation around baby, and our dogs! She was so gentle, thoughtful, and without a doubt a life saver to my husband and I. We cannot recommend this service enough to families that are in the trenches. Nancy was there to guide me through uncertainties and was a positive light I didn't realized I'd need. Thank you KC Newborn Care for helping my husband and I establish a routine and get the needed sleep to be our best.

Amanda was so wonderful and supportive. I fully trusted her to take great care of my daughter while I got some much needed rest. She helped me find solutions to my daughter’s sleep problems and was always available to answer questions when I had them. I appreciate this service so much and would recommend it to anyone who is struggling to show up how they want for their family because of lack of sleep. Thank you again, Amanda!

We had a wonderful experience with KC Newborn Care. I was desperate for sleep during the 4 month regression and having Nancy and Emily step in to care for our son was such a blessing. I felt completely comfortable with them and knew our son was in good hands.

Samantha was super easy to work with and arranged flexible care for us. She is quick to respond and accommodating. Claire took incredible care of our newborn. She was caring, easy to be around, and knowledgeable. She helped give us confidence and rest during a huge transition as new parents!

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda, who helped us get some much needed sleep and provided guidance and resources to help care for our baby. We’ve implemented all her suggestions and have already seen huge improvements in his sleep and feedings. She even left us with some baby items we didn’t know we needed but they have made life with a newborn a bit easier for us. ❤️ Kansas City Newborn Care was so easy to work with and accommodated our last minute request for help. I’d absolutely recommend KCNC and Amanda to any new, tired parents in the KC area!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kansas City Newborn Care! They were absolute lifesavers for our family. We had their team as our overnight nannies for our twins, starting when they were preemies and continuing until they were about five months old. Multiple caregivers worked with us during that time, and every single one of them was amazing. They took such great care of my babies overnight, and I was finally able to rest knowing they were in the best hands. I truly got peaceful sleep for the first time because I knew someone was always watching over and tending to my twins with so much care and love. What I appreciated most was how much they listened to me as a mom. They always respected and followed whatever I asked or needed, which gave me so much peace of mind. Their professionalism, compassion, and dedication made such a difference during those early months. I highly recommend Kansas City Newborn Care to any parent, especially those with newborns or multiples. They were such a blessing to our family, and I’m beyond grateful for all the support they gave us during such an important time.

Misty is THE BEST! I was in Kansas City for a wedding, and had three wedding events to go to in one weekend. It was my first time leaving my baby alone with someone, and my anxiety was a bit elevated just thinking about it. But Misty walked in and she had the most amazing caretaker, kind energy. You could tell right away she was an expert doula and loves what she does. I think even though our time together was brief, she truly loved my daughter while we were in town. I cannot express how grateful I am for her. She was the perfect person to take care of our baby, and because she was so amazing I was able to enjoy the wedding events knowing my daughter was in such amazing hands. Thank you Misty!

Our little family had a wonderful experience with KC Newborn Care. We used multiple doulas for overnight care, with our main doula being Claire Darcy. Claire was exceptional! From the very first night she brought a sense of calm, confidence and care into our home. She was not only attentive to our baby's every need but also incredible respectful of our routines and preferences. I would also say the same of all the doulas from KC Newborn Care who visited our home. We are beyond grateful for Claire's presence during such an important time in our lives. I would recommend KC Newborn Care to any family looking for some extra help after bringing the newest member of the family home.

When I first spoke with Samantha Moore from KC Newborn Care, I knew that she would find someone perfect to help our family - and she 100 % did! Having Amanda Lowe help our family was the best investment my husband made for our newborn son AND for ourselves. Amanda provides excellent overnight care, but she also does SO more than that. As first-time parents, there were so many things about newborn life and development that my husband and I didn’t know. The knowledge and support that Amanda provided was crucial to us feeling secure and confident in our newfound parenting skills. This really came to light when our son, who is formula fed, developed a milk-protein allergy (to the point where he had blood in his stool) and needed to switch formulas right away. Amanda identified the problem, encouraged me to communicate with my pediatrician, and helped transition our son to a new formula. Amanda has also been there for me, a first-time mom, as a crucial support person. There is no better example of this than how Amanda - before she even technically started working with our family - received a panicked phone call from me while I was in labor with questions about formula feeding our son (Amanda talked me through everything and eased my anxiety)! At this point, I truly feel like Amanda is a member of our family, and I have recommended her services to every pregnant friend and family member I have!

KC Newborn Care has been an absolute godsend for our family. Shortly after delivery, I experienced an unexpected health emergency and had to be hospitalized during my postpartum recovery. KC Newborn Care was incredibly adaptive and compassionate — stepping in immediately to provide additional coverage while I was in the hospital, and continuing that support once I returned home. They were also there for us again when my husband had to increase his travel unexpectedly for work. Their reliability and flexibility made all the difference during a really challenging season. A very special thank you to Claire, who has been nothing short of amazing. She is kind, loving, and incredibly skilled with our newborn — a true baby whisperer. Beyond her caregiving talents, Claire brought so much warmth and humor into our home. She made even the hardest nights feel manageable and was simply a joy to be around. If you're looking for trustworthy, flexible, and truly heart-centered newborn care — especially when life doesn’t go as planned — I cannot recommend KC Newborn Care highly enough.

We cannot say enough good things about Kansas City Newborn Care and have recommended them to all of our friends who are expecting! We were fortunate enough to have Claire and Nicol as our night nurses twice a week and felt so at ease with them both immediately. From the very first phone call we had without Samantha Moore about what we were looking for and our needs we felt the professionalism, deep care, and kindness this business offers. We wish we would have done this with our first baby but will definitely be using them whenever we have baby number three! Thank you so much to these wonderful women who gave us peace of mind, advice, and rest!

I cannot strongly recommend them enough! We absolutely adored Claire (and the rest we were able to get!). She became like part of our family and put us at ease the minute she walked through the door. I wish I had used them for my first two babies, it was a world of difference. Being able to use my HSA funds to pay for the overnight help was the cherry on top. This is now my first recommendation anytime I learn a friend is expecting!

Can't say enough good things about Kansas City Newborn Care!! I needed help with my 3 month old twins while my husband was traveling for a few weeks. Everyone on their team that helped us was amazing to work with and professional. I was able to get some solid hours of sleep with knowing they were taking such great care of my babes overnight. I wouldn't have survived without their help during a very chaotic time in life. 10/10 recommend and will be using again!

KC Newborn Care, Samantha Moore, and Claire Darcy have been an absolute godsend for our family over the past two months. They were sensitive & compassionate when we communicated initially & expressed our postpartum struggles & concerns. From the moment Claire stepped into our home, she brought a sense of calm, warmth, friendliness, and expertise that made all the difference in our postpartum journey. She gave us peace of mind knowing our little one was in the best of hands 2x/week so Mom & Dad could rest & be resourced parents! Claire’s gentle and nurturing approach put both Daisy and us at ease, and her wealth of knowledge about newborn care was incredibly reassuring. She not only tended to Daisy with love and attention but also offered us guidance and support when we needed it most, and friendship! Claire truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for the care she provided. We highly recommend Claire to any family looking for compassionate, skilled, and dependable postpartum support. She has been an invaluable part of our journey into parenthood! Samantha has been wonderful & easy to work with & I’ll be forever grateful we met these ladies when we did!

KC Newborn Care was extremely helpful when we had our fourth. I would not have been able to sleep without Sam. They listened to everything I wanted, I felt NO pressure from them, and they offered great advice. We are absolutely using them again with our fifth baby.

I wish I had known these ladies with each of my babies. Sam makes life do-able and enjoyable those first few weeks. She's full of love and support, absolutely no judgement, and makes you laugh through all the hormones! I would 100% send her to every new mom--no matter how many babies you have!
