Night Nanny & Newborn Care FAQs Answered With Care.

Tinoki Care is a boutique newborn care placement service that connects families with experienced newborn care specialists, night nannies, and qualified newborn care professionals. You tell us about your family, schedule, and values, we hand-select caregivers who fit, you interview and choose, and we stay in touch throughout your placement.

The best time to start your search is during your second trimester. Experienced newborn care specialists and night nannies often book months in advance, so reaching out early gives you the most options. If your baby has already arrived or your plans changed, contact us anyway. We do our best to help with short-notice newborn care.

Our matching process has four steps: you share your family's needs, preferences, and schedule; we hand-select qualified newborn care professionals who are the right fit; you interview your matches and choose with confidence; and we provide ongoing support to make sure the placement goes smoothly.

Yes. You meet and interview every caregiver we recommend before making a decision. We want you to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your newborn, so the final choice is always yours.

A newborn care specialist (NCS) typically has advanced training and experience in infant sleep, feeding, and newborn development, and often helps parents build healthy routines. A night nanny focuses on overnight care, such as feedings, diaper changes, and soothing, so parents can sleep. We help you decide which type of newborn care professional fits your family best.

Overnight newborn care means a trained caregiver looks after your baby through the night in your home. This usually includes feeding support (bringing baby to you or bottle feeding), diaper changes, soothing and settling, healthy sleep routines, washing bottles and pump parts, and a detailed update each morning so you know how the night went.

24/7 newborn care provides around-the-clock support from an experienced newborn care specialist who lives in or stays with your family for a set period. It is a good fit for families who want continuous help in the early weeks, parents recovering from a C-section or difficult birth, or families with twins or other children to care for.

Many families search for a "baby nurse" or "night nurse," but most newborn care specialists and night nannies are not licensed nurses and do not provide medical care. They are trained, experienced professionals in non-medical newborn care. If your baby has medical needs, please talk to your pediatrician and let us know so we can discuss the right support.

Yes. Many of our newborn care specialists support healthy sleep habits and age-appropriate newborn routines, such as feeding schedules, day-night rhythm, and calm bedtime patterns. They work with your preferences and share what they observe, so you feel confident continuing the routine on your own.

Our caregivers provide feeding and soothing support, whether you breastfeed, pump, bottle feed, or combine methods. That can include bringing baby to you for night feeds, preparing bottles, and washing bottles and pump parts. For medical or complex breastfeeding concerns, we recommend working with a lactation consultant (IBCLC).

Yes. Let us know you are expecting twins or multiples when you reach out, and we will look for newborn care professionals with experience caring for more than one baby at a time.

Postpartum support means helping parents rest and recover after birth. Along with newborn care, caregivers can help with light baby-related household tasks like baby laundry, nursery tidying, and bottle prep, and they offer parent education and reassurance during those early weeks. Tell us what kind of postpartum help you need and we will match accordingly.

Every caregiver goes through a careful vetting process that includes personal interviews, verification of experience and references, credential checks, and background screening. We only introduce you to experienced, compassionate newborn care professionals we would trust with our own families.

We look for proven hands-on newborn experience along with relevant training, such as newborn care specialist (NCS) training, infant CPR, and First Aid certification. You will see each caregiver's background and experience before you choose.

Your comfort matters to us. If something does not feel right, let our team know. We will talk it through with you and, when needed, help you find a better match. Ongoing support is part of every Tinoki Care placement.

We work with caregivers who are experienced in supporting Jewish homes and are sensitive to your family's practices, holidays, and preferences. Simply tell us what is important to you, and we will thoughtfully match you with the right newborn care professional.

The cost of newborn care depends on the type of care (overnight or 24/7), the number of nights or hours per week, the caregiver's experience, your location, and whether you have twins or multiples. Contact our team with your needs and we will give you a clear, personalized quote.

Schedules are flexible. Some families book overnight care every night, while others choose a few nights per week or a custom schedule. Daytime, overnight, and 24/7 options are available, and we will help you find the schedule that fits your family.

It varies by family. Some book a few weeks of newborn care while they recover and settle in, and others keep support for several months. You can plan the length of care that works for you, and we will help you adjust as your baby grows.
