Let Mommy Sleep | South Charlotte Area
Certified Newborn Caregiver (Part-Time) — $30–$38/hour
Part-TimeOvernight ShiftsIn-Home / Client Location
Let Mommy Sleep has supported families through the newborn period since 2010. We are a professional overnight newborn care agency. We are not a nanny placement service or a babysitting platform. Our caregivers are specialists. The families we work with depend on us to provide someone in their home overnight who is trained, credentialed, and fully accountable to the safety of their newborn.
If that is the standard you hold for yourself, we want to hear from you.
Before you apply — please read carefully
This is not a nanny position, a babysitting role, or a general childcare job. Overnight newborn care is a specialized service that requires professional training, sound clinical judgment, and an unwavering commitment to infant safety. The families we serve are postpartum and trust you, as a specialist, to manage their baby's safety through the night while they sleep while providing clinical-level data every night.
- Shifts are fully awake. Sleeping on duty is never permitted.
- Active newborn care is required throughout the entire shift. Constant monitoring, extensive charting, and newborn-related cleaning are expected.
- Screen time and personal downtime during shifts are not compatible with this position.
- This role does not include housekeeping, domestic tasks, or childcare for older siblings.
- Safe sleep compliance is mandatory and non-negotiable at all times.
Position overview
As a Certified Newborn Care Provider, you will work in clients' homes providing attentive, expert overnight infant care while parents rest and recover postpartum. You will implement individualized feeding and sleep routines, provide newborn education and reassurance, and maintain thorough communication with the family and our team.
This is a high-trust position. You will be alone with a newborn in a private home overnight, and everything about how you show up must reflect that responsibility. Professionals with clinical or direct care backgrounds — CNAs, CMAs, RBTs, infant care specialists, and early childhood educators with dedicated newborn experience — tend to understand this standard intuitively. That is the level of professionalism we expect from every caregiver we place.
Responsibilities
- Provide safe, attentive overnight infant care: feeding, soothing, diapering, charting, and monitoring throughout the shift
- Implement individualized sleep and feeding routines as directed by the family and our protocols
- Maintain strict adherence to safe sleep guidelines and infant safety standards at all times
- Offer evidence-based newborn education and calm reassurance to new parents
- Communicate clearly and professionally with families and the Let Mommy Sleep Charlotte team
- Document shift activity thoroughly and accurately
- Maintain a composed, professional presence in the home at all times
Required qualifications
- Current CPR and BLS certification
- Demonstrated hands-on newborn or infant care experience — professional, clinical, or educational setting strongly preferred, but some personal will be considered
- Comprehensive knowledge of safe sleep guidelines and infant safety standards
- Strong reliability, communication, and professional judgment
- Valid driver's license and dependable transportation
- Ability to pass a thorough background check and professional reference verification
- Authorization to work in the United States
- Compliance with health and vaccination requirements for newborn care environments
Backgrounds we commonly consider
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), Certified Medical Assistants (CMA), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) with infant or early childhood experience, postpartum doulas, NICU and newborn nursery professionals, pediatric caregivers, and early childhood educators or teachers with dedicated infant care experience. Each applicant is evaluated individually on the depth and quality of their newborn experience and their professional standards — credential alone does not guarantee placement.
