Night nurse needed for newborn
I am looking for recommendations for a night nurse to help out a few nights per week during the first month or two after my baby is born. He is due June 10.
If you have worked with a night nurse who you recommend please let me know. I’d also welcome information about what they did well, what the expected tasks were, and pricing.
Thanks so much, Melissa

I would like to share out experience with a fantastic NIGHT DOULA/BABY NURSE Karina who was our lifesaver! She has much experience with babies from her background as a nurse in Poland as well as through many other caregiver jobs, and it really shows through her work. She has a very calming and nurturing demeanor, and my daughter just loved her from the beginning! We were initially planning on hiring Karina only as a night nanny but were very impressed and wished to keep her on even after my daughter was sleeping through the night as day help during the week. She helped look after my older son as well who was 2 and 3 years old during this time.
Karina gives just the right balance of both advice and respect I feel especially for new mothers. She is detail-oriented and will listen to you and do what you prefer but will also give helpful suggestions from her many years of experience with babies. She knows how tired new mothers are trying to fulfill breastfeeding duties and will really try to make your life run more smoothly. She cleaned bottles for us, did laundry, helped feed the kids meals, and even would pick up a few groceries when we were low. I would never have made it through the difficult first year of having a baby without Karina! I am sure she will do a fantastic job with anyone's family.
