7 Birth Services You Need (and Why)

For today's first-time parents, who often live far from familial support networks, finding comfort and support during childbirth can be challenging. Our team has put together a few services that can radically improve your prenatal, labor and postpartum experience.

5 Things I Wish I’d Known Before My First Baby

From expecting the unexpected to having the right birth team in place, there are a few things that most parents wish they had considered when having their first child. We've talked to our families and here are some of the things they wish they'd known the first time around.

The Importance of Birthing Classes During Pregnancy

Finding the right birthing classes during pregnancy can help in a number of ways. Find out why they are important and how you can easily find a great class near you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a night nanny and how can they help my family?

A night nanny is a trained professional who comes to your home overnight to care for your baby so you can rest. Their responsibilities often include feeding support (bottle or bringing baby to you for nursing), soothing and settling the baby back to sleep, changing diapers, and tracking nighttime routines. The goal is to give parents longer stretches of uninterrupted sleep and peace of mind knowing their baby is being cared for by an experienced caregiver.

What other terms are used for night nannies?

Families sometimes hear night nannies referred to as newborn care specialists, night nurses, postpartum doulas, or overnight newborn caregivers. While the titles may vary, the core service is the same: helping families get rest and recover while ensuring the baby’s needs are met safely and lovingly overnight.

How much does a night nanny cost?

Rates vary depending on your location, the nanny’s experience, and the number of hours you need. On average, families can expect to pay $25–$45 per hour for night nanny services in most U.S. cities. Many parents hire a night nanny for several nights a week during the first few months after birth, which can make a big difference in recovery and well-being. On Meela, you’ll be able to see each nanny’s rates clearly listed on their profile so you can find someone that fits your budget.

When should I hire a night nanny?

Families hire night nannies at different times depending on their needs. Some book support before the baby arrives so care is in place from day one. Others wait until the first few weeks postpartum, when sleep deprivation starts to take a toll. If you know you’ll want overnight support, it’s best to book early—especially since qualified night nannies often fill up quickly.

What should I look for in a night nanny?

Key things to look for include:

Experience with newborns and overnight care
Training or certifications in newborn care, CPR, or postpartum support
Strong client recommendations from other families
A personality and caregiving style that feels comfortable and supportive for your family

On Meela, every professional with the green badge has gone through our vetting process, which includes reviewing certifications, training, and client feedback. This helps ensure you’re connecting with trusted, qualified caregivers.

Why should I use Meela to hire a night nanny?

Meela takes the guesswork out of hiring. Instead of sorting through endless unverified listings, you’ll get access to a network of expert-vetted, client-recommended night nannies near you. You can answer a few quick questions and receive a curated list of the best matches, or browse all available nannies in your area and reach out directly. With Meela, you’ll know that every night nanny you see has been carefully screened and comes with proven experience in overnight newborn care.
