Find a Night Nanny or Night Nurse Near Me in Texas

Hello, my name is Brittany and I am the founder of The Pine Cradle Collective, your newest Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula service in the Austin area. I have been a full time nanny for 8 years so I have a ton of experience with a lot of different families and kids of all ages. I found that my true passion was with new parents and infants. I love to be the one who can offer the support a new parent needs and to help guide the way through the transition of parenthood. I find myself truely excited to be able to offer my services to both new parents and those who have done this before. In my free time I love to read, play board games with my friends, and do the occasional puzzle.

Working with newborns has been one of the most meaningful and transformative parts of my life. As a Newborn Care Specialist and doula, I’ve had the privilege of stepping into families’ lives during one of their most tender and vulnerable seasons. My work is a blend of expertise, intuition, and genuine care—supporting parents while nurturing their little ones with patience, gentleness, and respect. Over the years, I’ve supported families through every kind of newborn experience: the sleepy, peaceful stretches; the unpredictable nights; the feeding challenges; the emotional highs and lows; and the beautiful moments of connection that make it all worthwhile. I’ve guided parents through establishing healthy routines, understanding newborn cues, navigating feeding choices, and building confidence in their own instincts. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care, but also in honoring each family’s unique rhythm and values. Whether I’m soothing a fussy baby, helping a parent master a swaddle, or simply offering a calm presence in the middle of the night, my goal is always the same—to create a sense of safety, support, and empowerment. Being invited into a family’s home during such an intimate time is something I never take lightly. Every newborn I’ve cared for has taught me something new, and every parent I’ve supported has reminded me of the strength and tenderness that define early parenthood. It’s a privilege to walk alongside families as they welcome new life, and it’s work I carry with deep gratitude.

Hi, I'm Lela Mirtl, founder and owner of Birth & Bloom. Postpartum Doula | Newborn Care Specialist | Pediatric Sleep Trainer Through Birth & Bloom, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for growing families during the postpartum period. My work centers on nurturing both parents and newborns while creating a calm, supportive environment that allows families to rest, recover, and build confidence in their new roles. Whether I am providing overnight newborn care, emotional support, education, feeding guidance, or practical household assistance, my goal is always the same: to ensure families feel seen, supported, and never alone. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every family deserves a village. Modern parenting often comes with unrealistic expectations and limited support systems. New parents are frequently expected to navigate sleep deprivation, physical recovery, feeding challenges, and major life adjustments with little guidance. I believe postpartum care should not be viewed as a luxury, but as an essential part of family wellness. When parents are cared for, they are better equipped to care for their children. I approach each family without judgment and with deep respect for their unique values, goals, and parenting choices. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to newborn care. Every baby is different, every parent is different, and every family's journey is unique. My role is not to replace a parent's instincts, but to strengthen their confidence and provide the knowledge, reassurance, and support they need to trust themselves. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is helping families find balance during a time that can feel overwhelming. I strive to create an atmosphere of calm amid the uncertainty that often accompanies the newborn stage. Through education, encouragement, and hands-on support, I help parents develop sustainable routines, understand their baby's needs, and gain confidence in their abilities. I am passionate about continuous learning and staying informed about current best practices in newborn care, safe sleep, postpartum recovery, infant development, and family wellness. I believe families deserve care that is both compassionate and informed by the latest evidence-based research. At the heart of everything I do is the understanding that postpartum support extends beyond caring for a newborn. It involves caring for the entire family unit. My goal is to help parents feel rested, capable, and supported while fostering a healthy foundation for their growing family. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside families during this special chapter and to provide the guidance, reassurance, and care they need to thrive. Birth & Bloom was founded on the belief that every family deserves compassionate support, trusted guidance, and a gentle beginning. Through personalized care, meaningful connections, and a commitment to excellence, I strive to help families bloom with confidence as they navigate the journey into parenthood.
