Shervande D.
Night Nanny
Hello! My name is Shervande , but most people refer to me as Shy. I'm an Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Certified Postpartum Doula who specializes in twins. I currently have eight years of experience providing overnight care for newborns and support to parents. I am a punctual and organized individual who takes pride in the knowledge and guidance I can provide when it comes to children's developmental milestones. I also have experience helping families establish healthy sleep habits so that even after my time with them has ended, parents can continue getting the rest they need. My other services include feeding support, bottle preparation and sterilization, diapering, soothing, and sleep shaping. I also am sure to track feeds, sleep, and diaper changes either with an app or on paper and I assist with baby laundry and nursery organization, and offer parents guidance and reassurance while respecting each family's preferences and privacy. I have plenty of references and testimonials, hope to hear from you soon!

Mariama C.
Night Nanny
I believe I would make an exceptional night nanny because I bring a unique combination of professional experience, specialized training, calm confidence, and genuine compassion for new families. As the owner and director of a licensed French-immersion childcare program in Los Angeles, I have spent years caring for infants and toddlers in a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment. My background in early childhood education, along with my training in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, has deeply shaped my approach to honoring each child as capable, expressive, and unique. In addition, my play therapy certification allows me to better understand emotional development and support infants and young children with sensitivity, attunement, and care. This combined experience has taught me how to recognize babies’ cues, establish gentle routines, support healthy sleep habits, and respond calmly to their needs throughout the day and night. I understand that the postpartum period can be both joyful and overwhelming. My goal is not only to provide expert care for your newborn, but also to give parents the gift of rest, reassurance, and confidence. Whether I am preparing bottles, changing diapers, soothing your baby back to sleep, or keeping detailed overnight logs, I approach every task with patience, professionalism, and attention to detail. I am fluent in both English and French, CPR and First Aid trained, and committed to following safe sleep guidelines and each family’s individual parenting preferences. I believe in working as a respectful partner to parents, offering guidance when requested while always honoring their values and routines. Families often describe me as warm, dependable, organized, and trustworthy. I take great pride in creating a peaceful environment where babies feel secure and parents can wake up knowing their child has been cared for with love and expertise. For me, being a night nanny is about more than helping a baby sleep. It’s about supporting the entire family during one of the most important transitions of their lives.
