Night Nanny Luna is postpartum night care.

Nights only. Baby care only — no housework. We look after your baby at night so that the family can rest.
For families whose parents and relatives are back home and cannot come to help, too.

In the US and the UK, overnight newborn care is a familiar kind of work, often known as "night nanny" or "newborn care". In our own research in 2026, nine hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. was the standard format. We follow it.

What happens during the nine hours.

21:45

We arrive, wash our hands and check that your baby's sleeping place is safe.

22:00

Handover from the parents (5–10 minutes).Time of the last feed, how the day went, and when you would like to be woken.

22:10

Parents go to bed.

Every 2–3 hours / when baby cries

We pick your baby up, check on them and feed. Burping, diaper change, settling.

 

Always back to sleep on their back.Each time, we check that nothing covers the face and nothing else is in the crib.

In between

We stay awake.A sleep check every 5 minutes — 108 times a night — recorded. We also prepare the next feed and wash and sterilise bottles and pump parts.

07:00

We hand you the night report and leave.

More about our service

What matters most at night.

  • Baby always sleeps on their back
  • Sleep checks, every time baby sleeps
  • If baby's condition changes, the caregiver does not decide alone. We always tell the family

We never decide to "wait and see". Whether to see a doctor is for the parents and medical professionals to decide.

0none

The night care is the same in both plans; the difference is the caregiver's experience. This is a childcare service, not a medical service. Caregivers licensed as midwives or nurses also do not diagnose or treat here, so neither plan makes medical judgements.
Extra time, travel fee, peak season and cancellation are on the prices page.

At home

In your own room, in baby's own crib.

Tokyo, Kanagawa and Saitama City

At a hotel

When you would like a full night's rest away from home.

The family needs a separate room to sleep in. Please book the hotel yourself.

As a rule, throughout the night a family member stays where they can come within 20 minutes when called, and can be reached by phone. If you plan to go out, please talk to us.

Other areas: please ask. We can accept if you cover actual travel costs and we can arrange a caregiver.
