What Do Our Night Nannies & Night Nurses Do All Night?
Let Mommy Sleep overnight care runs from 10pm to 7am. When your caregiver arrives, they receive a handoff from the family — current feeding schedule, any notes from the day, and any specific family preferences. From that point on, parents are off duty.
During the overnight shift, the caregiver’s responsibilities center on one goal: keeping the baby fed, clean, safe, and settled so parents can sleep without interruption.

National NAPS Registry for Postpartum and Newborn Caregivers
The in-home newborn care industry has no national licensing requirement. There are no mandatory training standards for caregivers, no regulatory body overseeing agencies, and no mechanism for families to verify that the night nanny or postpartum doula they are hiring meets any minimum standard at all. This is a documented gap — one The State of Newborn Care policy paper , authored by Let Mommy Sleep founder Denise Iacona Stern and published on SSRN, addresses directly. Let M
