Recommendations for a Night Nanny in the East Bay?
Hello! We are looking to hire a Night Nanny for a few nights a week, starting in mid-June (first baby is due on 6/7!). We live in Castro Valley, not far from the BART station.
I feel like we’re a bit behind in our search, but hoping you can provide some recommendations for a reliable, knowledgeable, and calm professional who can help us nervous first-time parents.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
If you are still looking for a night nurse I can recommend someone. Danusa was our night nurse in 2018 with our son and was wonderful. I was a FTM and learned so much from her. She is looking for her next family in May. Please reach out to Danusa directly:

I used Doulas by the Bay and I could not recommend them more highly. They are very communicative and they offer wonderful support. We had Damaris and Martha as our doulas and both of them were extremely professional and helpful. This was our first baby so we were nervous, but very quickly knew that our baby was in good hands. They also helped me to slowly sleep train our baby and he was sleeping 7 hours through the night at 1.5 months (he also gained a lot of weight which helped!). We will use their services again if we are blessed enough to have another baby.
My wife and I would like to highly, highly recommend Sylvia Mumwi as a night Doula. Her help during the first 4 months of our baby's life was invaluable. She's very warm, very friendly, and extremely professional. She's extremely punctual and always happy to help around the house whenever needed. She happily followed whatever guidance we gave her about how we wanted the baby taken care of, and was very respectful of all of our rules and preferences. She was always very sweet with our baby and took excellent care of him. For four months we were able to sleep soundly a few nights a week knowing that Sylvia was taking care of the baby. She was a lifesaver, and now feels like part of the family.
