Night Nurse Pacific Palisades | Physician-Led Overnight Newborn Care

In homes being rebuilt after the January 2025 Palisades Fire alongside temporary rentals, your night nurse sets up near the nursery, handles every wake—feeds or brings baby to you, burps, changes and resettles—and keeps a written log. Plenty of Palisades families are in rentals while they rebuild, and a night nurse adapts to an unfamiliar nursery quickly.

Yes—we place night nurses across the Riviera, Huntington Palisades, Castellammare, the Alphabet Streets and Marquez Knolls, and also in neighboring Brentwood, Santa Monica and Malibu. We still cover the Riviera, Huntington Palisades, Castellammare, Marquez Knolls and the Alphabet Streets, plus temporary addresses in Brentwood or Santa Monica.

Yes. Providence Saint John's Health Center, on Santa Monica Boulevard, with its McAlister Women's Health Center maternity unit, is a common birthplace for our Pacific Palisades clients, and we line up your specialist so the first night at home is covered. Sleep & Cradle® Health is an independent in-home service, not a hospital unit, and is not affiliated with any hospital named here. Your obstetric and pediatric teams remain your source of medical care. Saint John's is the closest delivery hospital for many Palisades families, reached down Sunset or along the coast.

No change to the plan. Cedars-Sinai births mean a longer ride back west, often along Sunset through Brentwood.

We are not. Our specialists work inside Pacific Palisades households once the hospital stay ends. Sleep & Cradle® Health is an independent in-home service, not a hospital unit, and is not affiliated with any hospital named here. Your obstetric and pediatric teams remain your source of medical care. After the 2025 fire, some families met hospital social workers and assumed we were part of that network; we are independent.

We schedule arrival with Pacific Coast Highway and Sunset Boulevard traffic in mind. With PCH closures and rebuild crews, we confirm the route for every Palisades shift a day ahead.

Layout matters less than routine. Whether you are back in a rebuilt Riviera home or a Santa Monica lease, we set up the nursery around what you have now.

Around 20 to 28 weeks is the sweet spot for Pacific Palisades. Rebuild timelines shift, so Palisades families can update the service address before the first night.

The two services split by hours: overnight only with a night nurse, or days, nights and live-in with a Pacific Palisades NCS. Some Palisades families pair Night Nurse care with an NCS during the move back into a rebuilt home.

We are a physician-led direct provider—families work with us directly, with no agency placement fee. That direct model is the same for every Pacific Palisades family we serve. Displaced families have enough costs right now, and skipping an agency placement fee is one less.

You will review profiles and can speak with candidates before you confirm. Introductions can happen at your temporary home or by video, whichever is easier mid-rebuild.

For Pacific Palisades parents who are ready to begin: A $500 Family Matching deposit activates the specialist-selection process. The Family Matching deposit is credited toward your care when you confirm an engagement with Sleep & Cradle® Health. Because it covers the matching and specialist-presentation process, it is nonrefundable if you decide not to proceed after presentations begin or choose care elsewhere. Parents in temporary housing often activate matching early so the night nurse can follow them if they move.

Our Night Nurse services are designed for families seeking consistent, structured support during the newborn stage. We require a minimum 30-day engagement, 12 hours per night, allowing families to establish healthy sleep foundations, feeding routines, and continuity of care from the very beginning. In Pacific Palisades, that steady run is what lets the plan settle. Consistency matters even more when the house itself is new, and a 30-day engagement builds that anchor.

Included, at no cost. Navigators can help sort daytime questions when parents are juggling contractor calls and insurance.

Absolutely. Whether you nurse, pump or use formula, your specialist manages prep and cleanup and records volumes so Pacific Palisades parents can share accurate notes with their pediatrician. If you are pumping in a smaller rental kitchen, your specialist keeps a compact, clean prep station.

We do. For Pacific Palisades twins and triplets we match a specialist experienced with multiples and discuss whether extra coverage helps. Twins in a rental can mean a tighter nursery, so we plan bassinet placement on the first night.

Recovery depends on rest. With nights covered, Pacific Palisades parents heal, eat and sleep on a schedule instead of on alarms. After birth, rebuilding stress plus broken sleep is a lot; overnight help protects your recovery.

Continuity matters, so we keep backup specialists familiar with your Pacific Palisades plan if your primary nurse cannot work. Backup specialists for Palisades families know the changing road closures near Sunset and PCH.

Travel can be arranged. If you fly from LAX for family visits, ask about keeping your specialist with you. Families flying from LAX to stay with relatives during construction can ask about travel coverage.

It varies. Some Pacific Palisades families stop when nights consolidate; others continue until baby sleeps longer stretches. Some Palisades families extend care through the move back home so baby's routine stays steady.

It begins with a complimentary consultation. Your Palisades consultation can include both your current address and your future one.

Your Night Nurse covers the night in your Pacific Palisades home, and our physician-led model guides the approach: feeding, infant sleep health, routines, developmental milestones and maternal recovery. Families across the Riviera, Huntington Palisades and Castellammare get structured overnight care with physician-led guidance behind it.

Unlike traditional placement agencies that primarily focus on staffing, our physician-led model combines Family Matching, overnight newborn care, comprehensive postpartum support and ongoing physician-led care navigation. We are a physician-led direct provider and an independent in-home service, so Pacific Palisades families work with us directly, with no agency placement fee.

Our physician-led team. Families receive ongoing physician-led guidance throughout their engagement as questions arise around feeding, sleep, routines, travel and newborn development, through our Baby Sleep Telehealth Navigation™ Program, included at no additional cost. This physician-led continuity of care keeps recommendations consistent between shifts.

Newborns in Pacific Palisades change quickly: feeding and sleep patterns shift from one week to the next, and a single steady caregiver is best placed to track them. That is why we use a continuity-of-care engagement model, building healthy sleep foundations from the very first night. The minimum engagement gives us enough time to establish foundational sleep habits and integrate every aspect of your newborn's care, all supported by ongoing physician-led guidance.
