A Remote Night Nanny Success Story!

The Universal Struggle of New Parenthood

Bringing a new baby into the world is a joyous occasion, but it often comes with the challenge of disrupted, minimal sleep. For many parents, the nights become a blur of feedings, soothing, and trying to catch snippets of rest. Sleep deprivation isn't just about feeling tired; it can impact mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.

Recognizing this widespread issue, Harbor created Remote Night Nannies, a revolutionary approach to nighttime infant care that combines technology with expert , human support. The Remote Night Nanny (RNN) experience provides parents with the rest they need while ensuring their baby's safety and comfort.

Meet Jaclyn & Derek: A Real-Life Success Story

When Jaclyn and Derek welcomed their daughter Elizabeth in January, they anticipated some sleepless nights. However, Elizabeth's sleep patterns were vastly different from their first child, who had been a relatively easy sleeper.

"Our daughter was born in January. Unlike my son, who is now almost 2, she really struggled with falling and staying asleep. My husband and I had to take 3-hour turns every night to stay up with her. She just wouldn't sleep in the evenings! During the day, she would only nap if someone was holding her." — Jaclyn

The exhaustion was taking a toll on their health and daily functioning. Remembering Harbor provides expertise, they decided to explore the Remote Night Nanny service, which they had initially overlooked.

"We bought a Harbor last year and remembered there was a Remote Night Nanny service. At first, we didn't think we'd use it because our first child slept so easily, but we were desperate for sleep, so started the free trial." 

The Immediate Impact of Remote Support

The results were almost instantaneous.

"No kidding, after the first night, Elizabeth was sleeping in 2-hour increments in her own crib. After 2 weeks, she was sleeping for 8 hours straight. I didn't think we'd sleep for at least a year, but after only a week we were shocked." — Jaclyn

Their assigned Remote Night Nanny, Mae, provided more than just monitoring. She offered guidance on sleep routines, wake windows, and was a constant source of support.

"Our RNN, Mae, talked us through the process, helped my husband and I understand sleep and wake windows, and all around was a huge support. I've never been more grateful for anything!"

Two Months Later: A New Lease on Life

The transformation wasn't just about Elizabeth's improved sleep; it rejuvenated the entire family.

"I finally feel like a person again. This experience was not only helpful but life-giving. Elizabeth is sleeping consistently, my husband and I are sleeping consistently... and we all around are doing so well. It's amazing how much sleep affects everything you do. I could not recommend RNN enough!"

Understanding Harbor's Remote Night Nanny Service

Harbor's Remote Night Nanny is designed to emulate the benefits of an in-home night nanny at a fraction of the cost. Here's how it works:

1. Personalized Onboarding

After booking the service through the Harbor Mobile App, parents are scheduled for an introductory call with their assigned Remote Night Nanny. During this session, they discuss:

• The baby's current sleep patterns and challenges

• Feeding schedules

• Specific goals and concerns

• An overview of the Harbor Monitor and Camera setup

This ensures that the care provided is tailored to each family's unique needs.

We also offer complimentary consultations with our Director of Nursing, Kelly Brown! Ask any questions you may have prior to booking. 

2. Nighttime Monitoring

Each night during the service, parents grant our Remote Night Nannies access to their Harbor Camera feed for an 8-hour period. The RNN monitors the baby in real-time, watching for any needs or awakening. Parents are only alerted when necessary, such as for feedings or soothing, allowing them to get more, uninterrupted rest.

3. Safety and Privacy Measures

Harbor prioritizes both safety and privacy:

• Failsafe Notifications: If the monitor loses connection, it automatically turns back on to full volume, ensuring parents are alerted.

• Controlled Access: Remote Night Nannies can only access the camera feed when granted permission by the parents. Once the session ends, access is revoked.

• Emergency Bypass: Harbor's technology includes escalating alerts and helps parents enable emergency bypass mode through their phones to receive calls as further redundancies.

4. Affordable and Accessible: 95% of the Benefit of an In-Home Night Nanny at 5% of the Cost!

Traditional in-home night nanny services can cost up to $700 per night. Harbor's Remote Night Nanny service costs a fraction, making expert overnight care accessible to more families. Additionally, we have a free week trial! Simply book in the care section of Harbor Mobile App.
