What is the difference between a newborn care specialist and a baby nurse?

The roles overlap. A newborn care specialist is trained specifically in newborn development, feeding and sleep conditioning and usually works days or nights for the first weeks. A baby nurse in Miami typically means overnight newborn care. We place both and will tell you honestly which fits your household.

How much does a newborn care specialist cost in Miami?

Day rates vary with experience, hours and the number of babies. Experienced nannies and baby nurses in Miami typically earn $25–$40 per hour. Our placement packages are $1,500 plus taxes with a 90-day warranty, $2,500 plus taxes with a 6-month warranty, or $3,500 plus taxes with a 12-month warranty. The first $500 is a non-refundable retainer plus applicable taxes and is credited toward the selected package total. Call (305) 942-9642 for a rate range.

How quickly can someone start?

We answer 24 hours a day with a real person, never a machine. Urgent newborn coverage can often start within 24–48 hours, and most families receive a vetted shortlist within 5–7 days.

Are your candidates background-checked?

Yes. Every professional we present is interviewed in person, reference-verified with families they have actually worked for, criminal-background screened, and CPR and infant-first-aid certified. Confidentiality agreements are signed before any introduction.

Do you serve Miami Beach luxury buildings and private islands?

Yes. We place regularly in Faena House, Continuum, The Setai, Five Park, Eighty Seven Park, the Surf Club, Oceana and St. Regis Bal Harbour, Fisher Island, Star Island, Indian Creek and North Bay Road, with candidates who understand building staff protocols, gated access and complete discretion.

We are relocating or expecting — when should we book?

Book in the second or third trimester, or as soon as your move date is set. We run the entire search remotely, present a shortlist by video, and have your professional in place for your due date or arrival day.

What a Miami newborn care specialist does

Family-owned and placing in Miami since 2005, MIA Nanny Agency places newborn care specialists — NCS-trained professionals who take charge of everything infant-related in the first weeks and months: feeding schedules, bottle and breast support alongside your lactation consultant, sleep conditioning, bathing, laundry and bottle sterilization, growth and diaper logs, and the nursery itself.

A newborn care specialist is not a babysitter. Our specialists have typically worked with 40 to 300 newborns, including twins and triplets, preemies discharged from the NICU, reflux and colic, and babies on strict pediatric feeding plans. They teach as they work, so parents finish the engagement confident rather than dependent.

Most Miami Beach families book a specialist for the first 6 to 12 weeks, either overnight only or on a 24-hour rotation with a second specialist. Families in Faena House, Continuum, The Setai, Fisher Island and Bal Harbour regularly extend into a long-term baby nanny placement with the same agency-vetted professional.
