Night Nurse Palm Beach | Physician-Led Overnight Newborn Care

Overnight, the nursery becomes your specialist's job. Estate Section houses often keep the nursery in a separate wing from the primary suite, so our night nurse sets up a halfway station near the stair landing.

Yes—we place night nurses across the Estate Section, the North End, Midtown and the South End, and also in neighboring West Palm Beach, Manalapan and South Palm Beach. From the North End past Midtown to the South End condos and Manalapan, the whole island is in our regular rotation.

Yes. St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, with labor and delivery suites and a NICU, is a common birthplace for our Palm Beach 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. St. Mary's is just across the Flagler or Royal Park bridge, so most island families are home within fifteen minutes.

No change to the plan. North End parents sometimes deliver at Jupiter Medical Center, coming south on A1A or US-1 afterward.

We are not. Our specialists work inside Palm Beach 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. Island households used to hospital private-duty staff sometimes ask whether we are tied to St. Mary's; we are not.

We schedule arrival with the Royal Park and Flagler bridges traffic in mind. Drawbridge openings on the Flagler and Royal Park bridges can add ten minutes, so island shifts start with a cushion.

Layout matters less than routine. Many Estate Section homes have staff cottages, and we brief the house manager on the night nurse's arrival and exit.

Around 20 to 28 weeks is the sweet spot for Palm Beach. December through April brings the social season to the island, which is when Palm Beach specialists book up fastest.

Pick Night Nurse care for protected sleep, or read our Palm Beach NCS page if you want someone during the day as well. Some island families pair a night nurse with a daytime nanny already on staff rather than switching to an NCS.

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 Palm Beach family we serve. Palm Beach families who have hired through placement agencies before notice the difference of working with us directly.

You will review profiles and can speak with candidates before you confirm. Introductions can happen over video or at your home off South County Road.

For Palm Beach 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 expecting during season usually activate matching by early fall so options stay wide.

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 Palm Beach, that steady run is what lets the plan settle. Thirty steady nights let a Palm Beach routine take root before the season's dinners and galas fill the calendar.

Included, at no cost. Navigators handle daytime questions from parents between Worth Avenue errands and club lunches.

Absolutely. Whether you nurse, pump or use formula, your specialist manages prep and cleanup and records volumes so Palm Beach parents can share accurate notes with their pediatrician. Pump parts and bottles are prepared in a butler's pantry when the main kitchen belongs to the chef.

We do. For Palm Beach twins and triplets we match a specialist experienced with multiples and discuss whether extra coverage helps. Island twins sometimes sleep in separate nurseries off a long hall, so the night nurse stages two stations with matching supplies.

Recovery depends on rest. With nights covered, Palm Beach parents heal, eat and sleep on a schedule instead of on alarms. After a cesarean, skipping the grand staircase at 3 a.m. matters in a two-story Estate Section home.

Continuity matters, so we keep backup specialists familiar with your Palm Beach plan if your primary nurse cannot work. Backups for Palm Beach already know the island's gated drives and service-entrance etiquette.

Travel can be arranged. If you fly from PBI for family visits, ask about keeping your specialist with you. Families who summer up north often bring their night nurse on the flight out of PBI.

It varies. Some Palm Beach families stop when nights consolidate; others continue until baby sleeps longer stretches. Many island families keep their specialist until they leave for the summer, then decide on next steps.

It begins with a complimentary consultation. Our first island call covers your house staff, the gate and whether you'll deliver at St. Mary's or Jupiter.

It pairs overnight newborn care with ongoing physician-led guidance on feeding, sleep, routines, developmental milestones and maternal recovery. For families in the Estate Section, the North End and the South End, that means your Night Nurse handles the night while our physician-led model shapes the plan behind every shift.

Agencies mainly introduce a caregiver. Our physician-led model combines personalized overnight newborn care, Family Matching, physician-led care navigation and comprehensive postpartum support. We are a physician-led direct provider, an independent in-home service, and families in Palm Beach and nearby West Palm Beach and Wellington work with us directly, with no agency placement fee.

Yes. This physician-led continuity of care ensures you continue receiving personalized guidance and expert support during the day for questions about feeding, infant sleep health, routines and developmental milestones. Families can also receive physician-led guidance through our Baby Sleep Telehealth Navigation™ Program, included at no additional cost.

Week to week, a Palm Beach newborn's feeding and sleep patterns keep shifting, and one consistent caregiver follows those changes best. Our continuity-of-care engagement model is built to lay healthy sleep foundations from the start, and the minimum engagement provides the time to establish foundational sleep habits while bringing every aspect of your newborn's care together. Throughout, your family has ongoing physician-led guidance.
