What most families get: a babysitter with a CPR cert and no clinical training

"We needed someone who could handle our son's g-tube and medication schedule. Care.com didn't have a single option."

Who We Serve

Three types of families need us most.

Post-Surgical Families

Your child just came home from the hospital. A licensed nurse can manage wound care, medication schedules, and monitoring — without you having to become a medical professional overnight.

Infants & Newborns

You're navigating the first weeks of parenthood. A nurse-nanny trained in newborn care can handle feeding support, jaundice monitoring, and breathing checks — the kind of reassurance you can't get from a standard sitter.

Overnight Care

Post-partum recovery, shift-working parents, or a child who needs overnight medical monitoring. A nurse-nanny can be there through the night — so you can sleep.

The CareNest Difference

A licensed nurse doesn't just watch your child. They care for them.

Every CareNest caregiver is a licensed nurse in the state of Alabama. They're trained in medication administration, vital sign monitoring, feeding tubes, emergency response, and pediatric first aid. That training is not optional — it's the entire point.

Why the difference matters

When your 8-month-old has a 102°F fever at 2am, you're not calling a babysitter. You're calling a nurse.

CareNest is the service that exists for the moments standard childcare can't handle.

"Every child deserves someone who knows the difference between "they seem fine" and "their oxygen saturation is 94%."

— CareNest Mission

Licensed, not credentialed.

We don't hire CPR-certified babysitters. We work with licensed nurses. That's the standard that matters.

Your home, your rules.

No facilities, no schedules, no drop-off windows. We come to you, on your terms.

Medical-grade, not medical-cold.

We bring clinical expertise with warmth. Because children don't just need monitoring — they need nurturing too.
