Frequently asked.
How much does a night nurse cost?
In South Florida, overnight baby nurses and Newborn Care Specialists are typically $25–$45 per hour depending on experience, credentials (RN, CNA, NCS certification), and whether the placement involves twins, multiples, or a NICU graduate. A standard 10–12 hour overnight shift generally falls between $280 and $500 per night.
What does a baby nurse cost per week?
Five overnight shifts per week at $30–$40 per hour typically runs $1,500–$2,400 weekly. Full 24/7 coverage uses a two-specialist rotation and is quoted per household.
Is there an agency fee, and when is it due?
Yes. Placement is a flat fee — the Estate Package is $3,500. A $500 retainer begins your search and is credited toward that fee, not added to it. The remaining balance is due upfront, before your specialist begins.
Do rates differ outside Florida?
Yes. Northeast markets — Manhattan, the Hamptons, Greenwich, Newport, Bergen County, and the Main Line — carry higher prevailing rates than South Florida. We quote each market individually rather than publishing a single national figure.
Are baby nurses paid legally as household employees?
Yes. Newborn Care Specialists placed in a private home are household employees. We refer families to IRS Publication 926 (Household Employer's Tax Guide) and can recommend payroll services that handle withholding and year-end filings.
What is included in the placement fee?
Bespoke search, in-depth verification and background screening, interview coordination, trial-day coordination, a 12-month replacement warranty, and onboarding concierge support with quarterly check-ins during the first year.
