night nanny
Nocturnal infant helper
A night nanny is a caregiver hired to look after an infant during nighttime hours, handling feedings, diaper changes, and soothing so parents can sleep.
Unlike a live-in nanny, a night nanny typically works only overnight shifts, often in the first weeks or months after birth: We hired a night nanny until the baby started sleeping through.
