I provide private overnight newborn care for families in Long Island City. I have substantial experience working with LIC families, and the neighborhood is an easy, practical commute for me. I am glad to be a familiar, dependable source of overnight support for parents here.
I’m just a ferry ride away and frequently in Long Island City. I know the neighborhood well, and the easy commute makes overnight care close to home.
Storkville is my one-person practice. When you contact me and decide to work together, I am the person who comes to your home. Working together consistently helps me learn your household routine, where supplies are kept, how you prefer feeds and soothing to be handled, and what information you want in the morning.
What I do during an overnight shift
Before care begins, we agree on your baby’s routine and the responsibilities for the night. Care can include preparing bottles, bringing your baby to you for nursing, burping, diaper changes, soothing, settling, and tracking feeds, diapers, and sleep. I provide nonmedical newborn care and work within the plan you set for your child.
My experience includes first-aid training and many years caring for single babies and twins. My role is also practical: helping organize the overnight routine, showing parents the care methods I use, and leaving a clear record so the morning does not begin with unanswered questions.
Choose the amount of support you need
Not every family needs the same schedule. A parent recovering from childbirth may want longer or more frequent nights at first. A family preparing for a return to work may need a dependable weekly pattern. Parents of twins may need a plan that accounts for two feeding and settling routines. Some families use the same shift length throughout; others adjust the hours or nights as their needs change.
For the first two weeks, I’ll do five nights a week. After that, my preference is four nights per week, on the days you most prioritize care and support. Hours can stay steady, taper, or increase again when a spouse returns to work, travels, or grandparents are less available. Visit Services for current 8-, 10-, and 12-hour options and rates, then tell me your due date or baby’s birth date, preferred nights, feeding plan, number of babies, and the overnight responsibilities that matter most to you.
Planning care in Long Island City
Apartment and building procedures are part of a smooth first night. We can review entry instructions, elevator or front-desk access, the baby’s sleep space, bottle and diaper supplies, monitor use, and how you would like me to reach you while you rest. These details are simple, but settling them in advance lets the overnight routine begin calmly.
If another parent referred you to Storkville, you can still start with a direct conversation about your own schedule rather than trying to fit someone else’s arrangement. You can also read reviews from families before reaching out.
