Find a Night Nanny or Night Nurse Near Me in Tennessee

Becoming a doula is a privilege because it allows me to witness the incredible strength and resilience of birthing individuals and families as they meet their new baby. My role is not to dictate the "right" way to give birth, but to be a constant, nonjudgmental source of support and information, ensuring that each family's unique choices are respected and honored. My philosophy is centered on the belief that a positive birth experience is rooted in feeling safe, informed, and empowered. I believe that birth is a powerful, transformational journey, and I am honored to help my clients access their inner strength, advocate for their preferences, and create a birth story that they can look back on with confidence, no matter how it unfolds.

As a postpartum doula, I, Jana, am dedicated to helping new parents get much-needed restful nights while caring for their newborns. With genuine passion, I form meaningful connections and find joy in witnessing parents experience rejuvenating sleep, empowering them for the day ahead. My journey as a doula began after realizing my calling extended beyond the classroom, where I worked as an infant teacher for years. I provide emotional and physical support, tailoring my approach to each family. Operating in Franklin and nearby areas, my philosophy centers around nonjudgmental assistance, leaving families with a deep sense of worth and the belief that they can overcome challenges. By reducing stress, I enable mothers to prioritize self-care and bonding with their baby. Think of sleep as a valuable resource that needs to be replenished to help you function at your best. I am here to provide the assistance you need

Dear Family, Hi, My name is Nanny Kate, TT, and I have been a Nanny/Household manager for nearly 26 years now. I am seeking a long term commitment, and will be exclusive to your family! I have a strong sense of family, having grown up with an older sister, and parents who just celebrated their 53rd Anniversary! My 10 year old niece and nephew, friends and my dog are the loves of my life! I began my career at 17 when I decided to be an intern at a law firm to start on the path of becoming an attorney. During my first week, the nanny for the owners of the firm would bring in their infant daughter to visit. She would hand the baby to me whenever she started crying because the crying would subside and turn into smiles and laughs. I was given the nickname of the “baby whisperer” After seeing this on multiple occasions, the owners asked if I would rather be their nanny then an intern. The rest is history!! As your nanny, my objective is to create a safe and fun learning environment for children of all ages, and will allow you to maximize your quality time with your child. My style of childcare is laid back but structured. I don’t favor strict schedules, but believe in maintaining an orderly house and routines. I want the child to learn as many self help skills as possible given their age, as well as positive reinforcement. I am an on-the-go nanny, and enjoy watching children learn through hands-on experiences and outings! Nanny Kate

I love helping families during this sacred transition, and my work with children and families has shown how vital emotional health is for the mother, baby, and family. That means that everyone is getting the time they need. Siblings need one-on-one time with parent(s), baby need basic needs met round the clock, mom needs to rest and recover, and parents need time to connect with each other. I try to be a calm, peaceful, and non-intrusive presence to help relieve the tension by providing time for the family during this delicate period of transition. I look forward to seeing how I can help your family during postpartum transition.

I am a Master Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, and certified Lactation counselor. The happiness and well-being of children and families have always been an interest of mine. I have had several careers working with infants and families including being a professional nanny and owning a small swim school primarily for infants and toddlers with special needs. I have targeted training focusing on infant and toddler development, perinatal mental health, infant nutrition, lactation and a wide variety of parenting philosophies such as RIE and gentle parenting. My knowledge base and specialized experience working in the private home sector include: coordinating and collaborating with additional staff, traveling privately with clients, providing evidenced based care and parent education, maintaining multiple nurseries in different locations, navigating varying climates, and working with multiples. In addition to postpartum support, I am an American Red Cross Instructor who is active in my local community teaching new parents and caregivers CPR/First Aid. The services I offer reflect what I value most: providing parents with opportunities to obtain sweet sleep, serenity, and peace of mind; knowing that their children are in great hands. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, skiing, swimming and spending time with family.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Joey, for 18 years. We have been blessed with 3 girls and 1 boy during that time. We also experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage, and the joy that our rainbow baby brought to our whole family. I have loved all things relating to birth and babies for as long as I can remember. I drew a picture when i was very little, showing me being a “baby nurse.” Having had 3 hospital induction births and 1 spontaneous natural hospital birth as well as being high risk for the majority of my pregnancies, I understand the medical side of pregnancy and birth. I also loved each of my births, for all of their similarities and differences. I never had a professional doula. For my first birth I was blessed to have my mom and an amazing nurse help me. They rubbed my back, had me change positions, breathed with me, and helped me achieve the vaginal birth I wanted. I did not have this for my other births, and I wish I had had someone there to help me focus, it would have made it easier and more relaxing. I was able to successfully breastfeed all four of my kids. I breastfed anywhere from 18 months to 3 years old, depending on the kid and their needs. I have dealt with almost all of the typical breastfeeding hurdles, including a baby that had multiple food intolerances that changed my diet drastically. I have learned from each of these circumstances and hope that I can pass along my wisdom and encouragement to other moms. As a doula I have experience with both natural birth, induction birth and c-section moms. I also have worked with NICU families and pumping moms. I also have personal experience with cloth diapering, baby wearing and co-sleeping. Over the years as I have read and researched, I believe that as women we need to be more in awe of how our bodies work and are capable of birth. Because of this, I decided to also become a childbirth instructor. I want more moms to be able to advocate for themselves and understand their bodies and the birthing process. I believe every mom, no matter the situation, can have an amazing birth.
