Night Nannies for Boca Raton, Palm Beach & South Florida Families

The first weeks and months after a baby's arrival are among the most physically demanding of a parent's life. Sleep deprivation affects health, relationships, and professional performance — and for families in Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Wellington, and the surrounding South Florida communities, a professional night nanny provides the critical overnight support that allows parents to function and recover.

Signature Nannies has been placing overnight baby nurses and night nannies with South Florida families since 2005. Our night nanny candidates are experienced with newborns and young infants, many with backgrounds in nursing, early childhood education, or specialized newborn care training. Every candidate is CPR and Pediatric First Aid certified, personally interviewed by our placement team, and fully background-checked before introduction to any family.

We serve families throughout Palm Beach County — including Boca Raton's private communities of Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca West, and Broken Sound; the oceanfront estate households of Highland Beach, Gulf Stream, and Manalapan; the equestrian families of Wellington; and the beachside families of Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. We also place night nannies throughout Broward County and Miami-Dade.

Our night nanny placement process begins with a consultation to understand your baby's age, feeding method, schedule preferences, and any special needs. We then match you with candidates who have direct experience in your specific situation — whether you have a singleton newborn, premature infant, twins, or a toddler with sleep challenges.

Night Nanny Rates, Schedules & What to Expect in South Florida

Night nanny rates in Boca Raton and Palm Beach typically range from $25 to $45 per hour, depending on the candidate's experience level, certifications, and whether the assignment is short-term or long-term. Certified newborn care specialists (NCS) and registered nurses command higher rates, often $35 to $55 per hour. For families needing consistent overnight coverage five to seven nights per week, many night nannies offer a discounted weekly rate. Temporary overnight assignments (one to four nights) are also available for families who need short-term support during travel, illness, or postpartum recovery.

Most night nannies work 8 to 12 hour shifts, typically beginning between 9 PM and 10 PM and ending between 5 AM and 7 AM. Some families prefer a shorter 6-hour shift, while others — particularly those with twins or recovering from a C-section — opt for 12-hour coverage. Rotating schedules (e.g., 4 nights on, 3 nights off with a second night nanny) are common for families needing 7-night-per-week coverage. We also place night nannies who can work weekend shifts only, which is ideal for families where one parent is home during the week but both need support on weekends.

When you hire a night nanny through Signature Nannies, the process includes: a detailed consultation to understand your baby's sleep habits, feeding method (breast, formula, or combo), and any medical considerations; candidate profiles with verified references from previous night nanny placements; full background checks including criminal history, driving records, and sex offender registry; CPR and Pediatric First Aid certification verification; and a trial night so you can evaluate the fit before committing. Our placement fee is a flat $1,500 — we do not charge percentages of the nanny's salary, and our 12-month replacement coverage means if your night nanny doesn't work out within the first year, we find a replacement at no additional cost.

Many South Florida families combine a night nanny with a daytime nanny or babysitter for around-the-clock coverage. We also place night nannies who are bilingual (English/Spanish, English/Portuguese, English/French), which is especially valuable for multilingual households in Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and Miami. If your baby has special medical needs — such as reflux, colic, premature birth complications, or feeding tube support — we have night nannies with specialized training and can match you with a candidate who has direct experience with your baby's specific condition.
