A little bit about me
I value consistent and open communication. My communication style for planning is in writing - text is preferred. I will respect any screen time routines you have in place but if I'm given a choice I'm a no screen time sitter.
For your peace of mind:
-I will arrive and remain sober to watch your child (this includes nicotine and vaping)
-I will be on time
-I will respect your rules and routines
-I will speak to your child with kindness and respect
-Your child is my main focus
-I will do everything possible to meet your child's needs
I'm vaccinated with all standard vaccines and will get boosted for flu and COVID before I work with my next family.
Great references available upon request!

A little bit about me
I have cared for several infants over the years and have completed my Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula trainings. I am finishing up my Lactation certification training this fall.
I am experienced and comfortable with breastfeeding and formula feeding, introducing solids, and making homemade baby food. I also have experience as a night nanny and gentle sleep coaching.
I am a happy person, and easy to get along with. As a parent, I have had caregivers myself, and understand the importance of finding the right, qualified person to care for your child. I have excellent references.
I am currently available a few nights/week for night nanny. I will have more availability starting September 2026 for newborn care.

How to Hire a Night Nanny in Wilmington, DE
Nanny Lane helps you find a night nanny in Wilmington, DE for overnight care and sleep support.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Night Nanny?
A night nanny cares for your children overnight, often through the hours when a baby wakes to feed or settle. Many families hire a night nanny for a newborn so that parents can rest, and some hire one for older children who need overnight supervision while parents are away or working.
Common Responsibilities of Night Nannies in Wilmington, DE
A night nanny typically handles overnight feeds, diaper changes, and settling and soothing, and keeps a sleep log before handing over to the family in the morning. Some also help children build better sleep habits, as agreed with the parents. They are usually awake for part or all of the shift.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Agree on the nights and hours you need, where the nanny will stay, and whether they are expected to be awake the whole time. Overnight work can have different pay and legal rules from daytime work in your state or province, so agree the details in writing and consider nanny payroll. Ask about experience with newborns if that is your need.
Night Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Have you worked overnight shifts, and for which ages?
- How do you handle feeds and settling during the night?
- What is your experience with newborns and sleep routines?
- Are you trained in First Aid and infant CPR?
- What would you do if a child was unwell or would not settle?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
