In 2026, a night nanny in Miami costs $30–$48 per hour, or $250–$480 per night. Certified newborn care specialists run $33–$52 per hour, or $280–$450 per night. Rates depend on experience, certifications, number of babies (twins cost more), and how many nights per week you book. Below is a full breakdown for Miami-Dade families, what's included, and how SLV Private Placements' flat placement fees work.

Families in Brickell, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Miami Beach, Pinecrest, Aventura and Bal Harbour typically fall within the same 2026 range. The low end is usually an experienced night nanny caring for one baby; the high end is a certified newborn care specialist, caregivers caring for twins, or very short-notice bookings.
Most Miami families book three to five nights a week for the first 8–12 weeks, then taper off as the baby sleeps longer stretches. Some families book seven nights for the first two weeks after birth.
Hourly pay goes directly to the caregiver. The agency placement fee is a separate, one-time flat fee — not a percentage of salary.

| Role | Focus | Best time |
|---|---|---|
| Night nanny | Overnight feedings, diapering, soothing and a nightly log so parents can sleep. | Any time in the first year when parents need rest. |

| Baby nurse | Hands-on newborn care, often 24-hour or overnight in the first weeks home. | Right after birth, for a few weeks to several months. |
| Postpartum doula | Care for the whole family: maternal recovery, feeding support, emotional support, sibling transition and light household help. | The fourth trimester — the first 12 weeks after birth. |
In 2026, a night nanny in Miami costs $30–$48 per hour, or about $250–$480 per night. Certified newborn care specialists run $33–$52 per hour.
A baby nurse focuses on the newborn — feeding, sleep and care. A postpartum doula supports the whole family, including the mother's recovery, feeding help and emotional support.
A night nanny is ideal if you mainly need overnight rest. A newborn care specialist ($33–$52/hr) adds specialized training for sleep shaping, multiples, reflux or preemies.
Live-in pay depends on hours and duties and is agreed between the family and nanny. SLV's one-time placement fee is $1,500, $2,500 or $3,500 plus taxes depending on the warranty you choose.
Look for an agency that verifies CPR, checks references and backgrounds, and offers a replacement warranty. SLV Private Placements has served South Florida for 16+ years with warranties up to 12 months.
Yes. Our postpartum doulas support Miami families through the fourth trimester with overnight care, feeding help and maternal recovery. Learn more on our postpartum doula page at /postpartum-doula-miami.
