Night Nannies, Newborn Care Specialists, and for us Baby Nurses are the same and will typically work a specific overnight shift, and then go home in the morning. The definition of a Baby Nurse can vary depending on what you are looking for.  The term Baby Nurse is often used in different parts of the country for describing a Night Nanny. This is obviously different from a licenses RN (Registered Nurse) or LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) working as a Baby Nurse and providing infant care.  Sometimes Baby Nurses or Maternity Nurses will also provide temporary live-in care.  All these positons offer care directly following the birth and bring extensive knowledge with basic infant care, and postpartum mother care.
