Whether you’re a first-time parent or overseeing a busy household, managing childcare alongside daily commitments can become overwhelming.
In the Charleston area, many families are turning to overnight nanny care and mother’s helpers for flexible, reliable support. Below, we explain how these services can offer you much-needed rest, reassurance, and breathing room.
Overnight Nanny Care
When you’re caring for a newborn, getting enough sleep often becomes nearly impossible. In fact, research shows that during the first year, about 70% of parents lose at least three hours of sleep each night, leading to fatigue, irritability, and difficulty focusing.^1
At Oliver’s Nannies of Charleston, our overnight nannies provide both practical and emotional support—managing night feedings, changing diapers, and soothing your baby back to sleep. You wake up rested, confident in your baby’s comfort, and ready to take on the day.
This level of care supports not just your baby but your well-being, allowing you to be more present and effective during daytime hours.
Mother’s Helpers
Mother’s helpers are perfect for households where parents are present but need an extra hand. These caregivers assist with both childcare and light household tasks—helping you stay organized while you focus on your responsibilities.
Typical responsibilities may include:
- Engaging and playing with children
- Assisting with homework or study time
- Preparing meals or snacks
- Overseeing children during errands
- Tidying up after family meals
- Entertaining kids while you handle calls or tasks
- Providing older sibling care while you focus on a newborn
A mother’s helper can offer creative ways to keep children engaged, so you can recharge or tackle other duties without distraction.
