The cost of a night nanny in Washington, DC can be influenced by several factors:

  • Experience and Qualifications

    Nannies with extensive experience, certifications (e.g., newborn care specialist), or specific training often charge higher rates.

  • Number of Babies

    Caring for twins or multiples typically costs more than caring for a single baby due to the increased workload.

  • Hours and Duration

    Rates may vary depending on the number of hours per night, the total number of nights required, and whether the arrangement is short-term or long-term.

  • Duties and Responsibilities

    Additional responsibilities, such as bottle preparation, light housekeeping, or sleep training, can increase the cost.

  • Time of Year

    Demand during peak times, like the holiday season, may drive prices higher.

  • Agency Fees

    Hiring through an agency often includes placement fees or additional charges for their services, adding to the overall cost.

  • Overnight Rates vs. Hourly Rates

    Some nannies charge a flat overnight rate, while others charge hourly, which can influence costs depending on the length of the shift.

When considering hiring a night nanny in Washington, DC, it's advisable to research and interview several night nannies to find one who aligns with your preferences, needs, and budget.

My name is Melissa Wiedel I am The Bon Bébé Doula with comprehensive training in child development and family systems. I have worked with families in a variety of settings for over 25-years to include: home, child care centers, medical clinics, classrooms & churches; in public, private, religious, & military sectors. ​ I have a strong passion for supporting families and caring for children. I believe in the importance for all members of a family to feel truly supported during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and it’s an honor to hold that space for others. With a background in child development and early intervention, I bring both knowledge and heart to my work. As a postpartum doula, trained with DONA, as well as a longtime nanny and child development specialist, my foremost priorities lie in helping my clients to feel safe, heard, and cared for. My approach is warm and grounded, offering encouragement, compassion, gentle guidance, and a steady presence so you never feel alone on your journey. Aside from child care and postpartum work...I am a lover of interior design, a master of baking, and my two fur babies, Ellie and Trina!

I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking personalized and high quality care.

Hello Everyone: I am Maxine, a Newborn Care Specialist. I come with many years of experience developing new borns and toddlers. I m a former day care provider. I have always enjoyed caring for babies and toddlers, and supporting families through those first precious months of life, brings me great fulfillment. My background combines hands-on experience with a deep understanding of infant development, sleep routines, and family adjustment during the early stages of parenthood. I believe a calm and organized environment helps both baby and parents thrive. My approach focuses on creating a safe, nurturing, and predictable routine that allows everyone to rest and feel confident. I also make it a priority to provide reassurance and education, helping parents feel supported and informed every step of the way. In my free time, I enjoy spending quiet mornings with a good cup of coffee, visiting local parks, and finding new ways to make life easier for families during the newborn stage.

Maxine has a natural gift for caring for babies and toddlers, and her genuine passion is evident in everything she does. As a first-time parent, I cannot express how grateful our family is for Maxine. From the moment she walked into our home, she brought a calm, reassuring presence that immediately put us at ease. Those early weeks can feel overwhelming, but Maxine guided us through every step with patience, expertise, and genuine care. She has an incredible understanding of newborns - their needs, their cues, and their rhythms. Within days, she helped us establish a predictable routine that made an enormous difference in our baby's sleep and overall comfort. She took the time to explain what she was doing and why, which gave us so much confidence as new parents. We cannot recommend Maxine enough. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Traequanda Brock

Packages from $1,212

My name is Traequanda Brock and my interest in birth and postpartum doula work came about during my graduate studies in the social work program. I have been in the social work field since 2011 and graduated from Howard University with my Master of Social Work degree. I have always been passionate about equity, especially for those who are marginalized. I learned of the disparity among black women/black birthing persons and the rate at which they weren’t surviving due to birth related complications, that are completely preventable when given the right care. As I learned the huge impact doulas could have on the life of black women/black birthing persons, I knew where my calling was leading me. I am trained through the National Black Doula Association as a birth and postpartum doula. I know that my purpose is to be of service to others and that so happens to be in this field. My interest is for birthing persons to get back in touch with their bodies and all that it can do. This looks like, trusting yourselves and tapping into your intuition, nurturing your mind, body, and soul; with the nutrients you feed it, exercise, meditation, ancestral traditions; as well as leaning on your supports through this beautiful experience.

Traequanda was my doula. She was excellent from beginning to end. She kept my partner and I well informed, was intentional, and patient. Traequanda is a gem.
