Newborn Care Specialist · Bay Area & Greater Sacramento
The first weeks with a newborn are precious, and so tiring. I'm Phoebe, a certified Newborn Care Specialist, and I care for your baby overnight with warmth and real expertise, so you can rest, heal, and soak up these early days.
About Phoebe
For more than eight years I've cared for babies and little ones all over the Bay Area and Sacramento, from tiny two-day-old newborns to houses full of busy siblings. I trained in early-childhood education and Montessori teaching, so you get a warm, loving presence who also truly knows babies and gentle routines.
What I love most is those first weeks and months. I'll handle the feedings, the bottle washing, the 3 a.m. soothing, and safe sleep, and I'll help your baby settle into a calm rhythm that works for your whole family. I've also cared for babies and children with extra needs, always with patience and a lot of heart.
With love, Phoebe
How I can help
No two babies are the same, and no two families need the same thing. We'll figure out together what will help you and your little one the most.
This is the heart of what I do. While you finally sleep, I'm up with your baby for the feedings, changes, and soothing, always following safe-sleep practices. You'll wake to a rested house and a simple note of how the night went.
Gently helping your baby tell day from night and work toward longer, more predictable stretches of sleep, always at a pace that feels right for your baby and for you.
An extra set of calm, experienced hands during the day. I'll care for your newborn, help with feeding, and be a steady, reassuring presence while you find your feet as a new or growing family.

In families' own words
Real words from families who've trusted Phoebe with their children.
"Whoever gets her is the luckiest person. She has got to be the best nanny you could ever have."
"Phoebe was the best, and we miss her terribly. She gave the boys her full attention and was never on her phone, and they all cried when she left. She was reliable, punctual, and she just knew what to do without being asked."
"She is exactly what we needed. The connection is fantastic."
"My son is on the spectrum and wasn't easy to manage, but Phoebe knew how to hold his boundaries, flexible yet steady. She's incredibly dependable and has never once cancelled on us. She even flew out to help us for several days. She has EMS training and always kept a calm, steady head. She's always one step ahead."
Good to know
I'm based in Roseville and care for families across Greater Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. For the right fit, I'm open to discussing travel and live-in arrangements.
I arrive in the evening and care for your baby through the night, handling the feedings, diaper changes, and soothing while following safe-sleep practices. You get a real night's sleep and wake up to a written note of how it all went.
Yes. I have experience in multi-child households and with children who have diverse developmental and emotional needs, always with patience and consistency.
