New parents need rest, babies need care. Our nighttime care provides service throughout all of Louisville, Kentucky and surrounding areas including Jeffersonville, New Albany and all 15 counties in the Greater Louisville area (included by but not limited to Jefferson, Bullit and Clark). We will help ensure you all get plenty of both by providing nighttime services so you can sleep, even if your baby isn’t. We arrive at your home between 8-10pm providing care for 8-12 hour shifts. During our time together we care for your newborn, provide infant sleep education and resources, clean and sterilize bottle and pump parts, and complete other baby-related household chores so that you can begin your morning feeling rested and with no to-do list.
-
Absolutely. Your caregiver will offer lactation support through your breastfeeding session to ensure nursing is off to a successful start. She will also be responsible for all the care after nursing (burping, changing, and soothing the baby back to sleep) so you can return to sleep immediately after the feeding.
-
Families need only provide whatever their child needs. Water, formula, breastmilk, bottles, a bassinet or sleeping area, access to diapers, and whatever clothing or items you feel the baby needs. A horizontal sleep space in the same room as the baby or with a monitor is necessary, this allows the caregiver to rest when the baby is sleeping while remaining fully responsive to their needs.
-
We will track feedings, sleep, and diaper changes. We will make notes of what worked well for your baby and what didn’t. We can send this via text, email, or write it down on paper.
If you have a tracking app you are using you can also add your caregiver to the app.
