# Night Shift Nannies

> Find trusted overnight newborn care near you.

Night Shift Nannies is a directory of overnight newborn care providers — Newborn Care Specialists, postpartum doulas, night nannies, and licensed RNs and LPNs — listed with the experience, credentials, rates, and availability families need to compare them. Titles here are literal: only a provider holding an active, verified nursing license is labeled a nurse, and every badge names the specific credential that was checked rather than making a blanket "verified" claim. Profiles marked "unclaimed" were imported from the provider's own public information and are not yet provider-maintained.

The full text of every guide and standards page below, plus a text summary of every listed provider, is inlined at [llms-full.txt](https://www.nightshiftnannies.com/llms-full.txt). Machine-readable URLs live in [sitemap.xml](https://www.nightshiftnannies.com/sitemap.xml).
