I had the wonderful good fortune to find BBN&N. My daughter was new to the Boston area and needed both a baby nurse and a nanny. The firm’s level of professionalism and commitment to meet the needs of the mother are very impressive. Through the outstanding help and guidance of Elizabeth Grealy, my daughter was able to find both a very qualified baby nurse and an equally qualified nanny. I urge anyone in need of a nanny or baby nurse to go no further in your quest – you are in excellent hands with BBN&N.
We worked with Boston Baby Nurse for our 2 month old, who was extremely fussy and not a good sleeper. Bryn arranged for 2 newborn care experts, Doreen and Kimalyn, to provide us with much needed overnight support. My wife and I were immediately put at ease after speaking with the team at Boston Baby Nurse & Nanny.. Our newborn experts were both extremely patient, caring and professional. Moreover, Doreen helped to sleep coach our baby at 5 months, which was really helpful as we had no idea how to even begin this process. She continues to be a resource for childcare advice, which we really appreciate. We really enjoyed working with the entire team at Boston Baby Nurse & Nanny– they got us through some tough nights which was a lifesaver!
We all thought Breanne was terrific. It’s amazing how great everyone you send is, and it’s exciting to learn all the little tips and tricks they all seem to have. Breanne recommended doing a double swaddle, which none of us had ever even heard of! Seems like it works well for our daughter.Yes, I am getting some sleep—certainly so much more than I would have been if we didn’t have your terrific team. This has been especially important since I have been battling my share of postpartum depression. I think the sleep has played a key role in helping me get through the fog the last couple of weeks, so I really appreciate all of the help Christine, Andrea, and Breanne provided. Thanks also to you for making this all so seamless!
Yes, tomorrow will be our last night w Teresa – and I’m very sad about that. Will definitely be in touch if we change our mind, but I think we have to cut the cord at some point :). Thank you for connecting us – Teresa is an amazing wealth of information, help, and support, and we’re really going to miss her. Finally, I just wanted to compliment you, Teresa, and BBN for providing such tremendous support during our first months home with our daughter. We were nervous to let strangers in at first, but you guys earned our trust immediately. You should feel very proud of the work you do – it has helped me and us tremendously. I also think you are an amazing asset to the company and have been super impressed with you speed and reliability. I will definitely recommend BBN far and wide (already started)… please let me know if there is anything I can do for you all – including serve as a reference for your services
It’s been an exhilarating week, between my return to work and our older daughter beginning preschool. Teresa actually saved the day on Tuesday! In my sleep-deprivation, I had set my alarm to 6PM instead of 6AM, and she (and little Emily!) are the only reasons that I made it in to teach my first classes on time! Teresa has been just so amazing with Emily and supportive with me. I’m so grateful to her and the whole BBN team for all your help during this exciting time in our lives.
Thank you so very much for the last minute arrangement. Antonina was a great help! Not only did we have a good nights sleep after almost a month but she was an incredible hands on help and support with my lactation difficulty. She also shared tips which I hope would help us dealing with a fussy newborn. Once again, thanks for the valuable service.
Thank you for checking in! We LOVE Elizabeth!! She feels like part of the family!! It’s been amazing to sleep through the night and to know that Grace is in great hands with Elizabeth.

We had an amazing experience working with Boston Baby Nurse for our overnight newborn care. They were extremely flexible when I was one week late and when we wanted to extend care to get some extra nights! The BBN doula who supported us was extremely reliable and caring. We felt so lucky to have her help. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Lauren was fantastic, and we are so grateful to have had her support during the first months of our baby’s life. She is truly an expert at all things newborn: diaper changing, bathing, feeding, sleeping, comforting, clearing baby’s nose, etc. As first time parents, we really appreciated how generous she was with her pointers at just the right moments, while always keeping our priorities in mind. We truly learned a lot from her. She was also fantastic with our baby and we slept peacefully knowing he was being cared for by Lauren. Beyond helping us get more sleep and caring for the baby, she brought a warm, fun, calming presence into our home during this special stage of life. Boston Baby was also great to work with in terms of matching us with the right person for our needs, and easy communication for scheduling. We wholeheartedly recommend Boston Baby and Lauren!Posted on Google![]()

We had such an amazing experience with Boston Baby Nurse. Coretta was so incredible and really changed my postpartum experience. Not only did she make this fragile time feel so much more doable, she has left us with so much knowledge and wisdom; we feel very confident as new parents and I owe a lot of that to Coretta! I would recommend this agency to any friend or family member. Thank you for everything!Posted on Google![]()

Boston Baby Nurse & Nanny helped my wife and I tremendously following the birth of our first child. Casandra was a wonderful caregiver and a huge source of wisdom and guidance to us. We are already planning to request her help for baby #2! Personally, I do not do well without sleep, so I was extra nervous about the newborn stage. Simply knowing we had help from BBN&N quelled my anxieties in the weeks leading up to our son's arrival. Yet Casandra and the entire BBN&N team exceeded even my high expectations. They provide an extremely organized and impactful service that I recommend to any parents, new or experienced.Posted on Google![]()

Stephanie has been a fantastic caregiver for our newborn son. She began supporting our family when our son was around five weeks old and helped us through an incredibly challenging period until he was approximately three months old. Throughout that time, she was consistently professional, detail-oriented, proactive, and compassionate. On her very first day, Stephanie quickly acclimated to our family and confidently took over our baby’s care so I could get some much-needed rest. When I woke up from a nap, I discovered that a baby bouncer we had received had been assembled, a sound machine had been unpacked and set up, and she had provided thoughtful recommendations for baby-friendly household products, including dish soap and laundry detergent. It felt as though our home had been transformed into a more infant-friendly environment in a matter of hours, and it gave me tremendous confidence that Wesley was receiving exceptional care. In the weeks that followed, Stephanie continued to provide outstanding support. She observed that Wesley was exhibiting symptoms consistent with silent reflux. Although our first pediatrician was initially skeptical, Stephanie continued to raise the possibility respectfully and without being intrusive. Her observations ultimately prompted us to seek a second opinion. As a result, our son was prescribed anti-reflux medication, which significantly improved his feeding. It is entirely possible that without Stephanie’s insight, our son would have continued to struggle unnecessarily. We were deeply grateful not only for her knowledge, but also for the thoughtful and respectful way she shared her recommendations. We always felt comfortable considering her advice and making our own decisions as parents. By the end of our time together, I felt far more confident in my ability to care for my child and had been given valuable time to recover from delivery. In addition to caring for our child, Stephanie assisted with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and countless other tasks that helped our family feel more rested and supported. After every visit, I felt refreshed, more capable, and better equipped to handle the challenges of the day. In my view, that is exactly what exceptional postpartum support should provide. I recommend Stephanie to other families without reservation and would gladly work with her again.Posted on Google![]()

This service is worth every penny!! You may feel anxious to have a stranger in your home taking care of your newborn, but the team is very communicative and vetted. They are all very responsive to any questions and open to anything that may be causing you anxiety. I never felt like I was left hanging or any request I wanted was out of line. Special shoutout to Sheena who is an angel on earth and saved my sanity during those first few months of care!Posted on Google![]()

We had the most wonderful experience with Ann from Boston Baby Nurse. She was with us for several months and is truly amazing, exceptional, A+++. She is an expert at sleep training; she got our newborn on a regular sleep schedule (now sleeping 11 hours! was not sleeping through the night before Ann) and helped her learn to self soothe. Ann is always on time, reliable, courteous, and a pleasure to interact with. She has a wonderful laugh and disposition; she provides feedback and advice in a constructive but not pushy way. She truly cares. Any family who has the opportunity to work with Ann is blessed. We will miss her terribly, as will Baby D!Posted on Google![]()

This was the best investment we made after having our second child. We were a little late to the game in scheduling, but Kelsey was able to find us a newborn care expert, Molly who was such a godsend, that we extended our care, and were given another expert, Meriyem who was equally amazing. I cannot recommend this service, save money on baby clothes and spend it on this instead!Posted on Google![]()

Highly recommend! We found BBN&N through a friend who also had a great experience. Aliana was amazing with our daughter and allowed us to get some much needed rest a couple of nights a week so we could be better rested to parent our toddler while dealing with the newborn phasePosted on Google![]()

We had a wonderful experience with Boston Baby Nurse & Nanny, especially with Sonia, who supported us during the first few months of our daughter’s life! Having trusted overnight support made such a huge difference during the newborn stage. Sonia was incredibly reliable, warm, and attentive, and she left detailed notes each night about feeds, diaper changes, sleep, and how the night went overall. We always felt our daughter was in excellent hands and are so grateful for her support during such an important time for our family. We feel like we made it through the newborn trenches in large part because of BBNN!

Our goal is to provide reliable and seamless care for your family. For families scheduling four or more nights per week, we recommend having two dedicated caregivers assigned to your family. This ensures continuity of care and provides flexibility in the event of illness or scheduling changes. Having two caregivers allows for easier adjustments if additional shifts are needed, offering peace of mind that your baby’s care will remain uninterrupted.
