Hand-vetted Candidates

Florida Nanny Rate Standards

The average rate for live-out and live-in nannies in Florida ranges from $25–$40 per hour. Best Baby Nurses does not place nannies below $25 per hour. Final rates depend on experience, references, and qualifications. Guaranteed hours apply — nannies are paid their regular schedule even if hours are reduced. Additional compensation is required for travel, extended hours, and overnights. See IRS Pub. 926 for household employment guidelines.

From Hospital to Home

We meet you the moment your baby arrives.

Hospital-Side Support

Bedside guidance with feeding, swaddling, and recovery from delivery.

Planning Ahead

Plan Ahead for a Stress-Free Transition Home

Welcoming a newborn is one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Whether you are expecting your first baby, preparing to welcome another child, or already caring for young children while anticipating your newest family member, planning ahead allows you to enjoy those first precious weeks with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Reserving your Newborn Care Specialist before your baby arrives home gives our Placement Advisors the opportunity to carefully understand your family’s needs, introduce exceptional candidates, coordinate interviews, and thoughtfully prepare every detail before your due date.

Families who reserve early enjoy greater caregiver availability, a personalized placement experience, and the reassurance that their newborn care has already been professionally arranged before delivery.

Many families choose to reserve their Newborn Care Specialist during the second or third trimester to secure their preferred caregiver.

Questions Families Ask

Before we begin.

Do you place live-in nannies?
Yes. We place live-in career nannies across South Florida and Orlando for families needing round-the-clock support. Every candidate is fully vetted, background-checked, and CPR certified.
Can you support newborn twins or multiples?
Absolutely. Our roster includes specialized twin newborn care specialists with extensive experience supporting families with multiples, including overnight and 24/7 schedules.
Do you offer household staff beyond childcare?
Yes. In addition to nannies and newborn care specialists, we place housekeepers, household managers, estate managers, private chefs, personal assistants, and senior companions for private residences.
How does payment work?
A $500 non-refundable retainer secures your search and is credited in full toward the placement fee. The remaining balance is due upfront before your specialist begins. We accept Zelle, Venmo, and bank transfer (wire / ACH).
Can a newborn care specialist meet us at the hospital?
Yes. Our certified Newborn Care Specialists can join you bedside at the hospital to assist with feeding, swaddling, recovery, and the first hours with your newborn, then continue care home so the transition is seamless.
Do you offer true 24/7 live-in coverage?
Yes. We staff rotational live-in teams of two Newborn Care Specialists so coverage is continuous 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — without burning out a single caregiver. Common for multiples, NICU graduates, and high-demand households.
What are your hourly rates?
Hourly rates for newborn care specialists and specialty nannies typically range from $25 to $40 per hour, depending on the candidate's experience, certifications (NCS, IBCLC, CPR/First Aid, lactation training), and the complexity of care. We quote transparently.
What is the difference between a postpartum doula and a certified newborn care specialist?
A postpartum doula is mother-centered — focused on the new mom's emotional and physical recovery, lactation guidance, meals, and household ease, usually during the day. A certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) is newborn-centered — overnight or 24/7 trained care for the baby including feeding, sleep shaping, swaddling, and recognizing medical concerns. Many families engage both.
How are your candidates vetted?
Every candidate is personally interviewed, background-checked at the national level, reference-verified across multiple prior families, and confirmed CPR/First Aid certified before they are ever introduced to a household. Many of our roster come exclusively by private referral from existing principal families.
Do you place medical nannies or provide medical care?
No. We are a non-medical referral-based agency. We place newborn care specialists, newborn care specialists, nannies, and household staff for developmental, feeding, sleep, and daily-care support. Some candidates do bring nursing or pediatric-care backgrounds, but they are not engaged to perform medical procedures or clinical care.
What ages do you serve?
We place professionals for children from newborn through age 13 and beyond — including infant newborn care specialists, toddler nannies, preschool caregivers, and elementary/middle-school nannies. Many families keep the same trusted professional for years.
Are your placements bound by confidentiality?
Yes. Every placement is NDA-bound and trained in the privacy expectations of high-profile principals — press-aware, social-media-abstinent, and accustomed to working alongside security teams when needed.
Which areas do you serve?
Palm Beach Island, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, Jupiter Island, Manalapan, Lake Worth, Atlantis, Boca Raton (East & West, including Royal Palm Yacht & CC, The Sanctuary, Boca West, Polo Club, Woodfield), Parkland, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Coral Gables (Gables Estates, Cocoplum, Old Cutler), Pinecrest, Key Biscayne, Naples, and Orlando.
