Welcoming a newborn is one of life’s most extraordinary and most demanding moments. Superstar Nannies is a specialist newborn nanny agency placing highly experienced maternity nurses, night nannies, and newborn care specialists with high-net-worth and UHNW families across London, the UK, and worldwide. Placements can be arranged well in advance or at short notice, because we understand that families do not always have the luxury of time.
Families often come to us unsure of which type of newborn care professional they need. Here is a brief guide. A maternity nurse provides almost 24-hour care for newborn babies and their families, typically for two to twelve weeks following birth.
They support feeding schedules, establish sleep routines, and work closely alongside mums, including those recovering from caesarean sections.
A night nanny takes responsibility for overnight care, managing nighttime feeds, settling the baby, and handling all nursery duties so that parents can rest. Many families engage a night nanny for a set number of evenings per week rather than every night.
A newborn care specialist, or NCS, focuses exclusively on infant care. They are often engaged for more complex situations such as premature babies, colic, or reflux, and many hold expertise in lactation consultancy and infant CPR.
Our newborn nannies manage all aspects of infant care, feeding, winding, bathing, and settling, while establishing the sleep routines and feeding schedules that form the foundation of a healthy early infancy.
They monitor the baby’s wellbeing, recognise the signs of colic and reflux, and keep the nursery environment calm and ordered.
Beyond the practical, they offer something equally valuable: guidance, reassurance, and a steady presence that helps parents feel supported rather than alone. For mums in the post-birth recovery period, that support can be genuinely transformative.
Every newborn nanny we place undergoes thorough criminal background checks and reference verifications. We conduct in-depth interviews, verify all certifications, including DBS checks, first aid, and infant CPR and assess each candidate’s hands-on experience specifically with newborns and infants.
We are members of the Association of Nanny Agencies and operate with full transparency throughout the hiring process.
We guide families in creating clear contracts that cover all responsibilities and hours required, provide guaranteed backup care if a primary nanny is unavailable, and remain on hand after placement to provide ongoing support, contract guidance, and payroll advice.
Newborn care is a specialist service, and rates reflect the expertise involved. As a general guide for the UK:
Maternity nurses: £250 – £500 per 24-hour period. Night nannies: £25 – £50+ per hour. Newborn Care Specialists (full-time): £800 – £1,600 net per week.
London rates typically sit toward the higher end of these ranges.
Our consultants will provide tailored guidance based on your specific requirements, hours, and any specialist needs, such as twins or reflux management.
We place maternity nurses and night nannies across London’s prime residential areas, from Mayfair and Kensington to Hampstead and Chelsea, as well as internationally with families in Dubai, New York, and across Europe and the Middle East.
For families who need urgent support, our team is experienced at responding quickly and can often arrange placements within days. Whether you are planning ahead or need emergency cover, we are here to help.
