Night nurse in Dubai, a trained carer for feeds and settling, 10 to 12 hours.
Night nurse in Dubai is what most parents search for, and for most babies the right person is a Care Companion: CNA + BLS, a trained carer, not a nurse, who stays 10 to 12 hours for night feeds and settling so you sleep in stretches. She brings the baby to you for breastfeeds or gives the expressed bottle herself, winds, changes, settles back to the cot and writes down every feed for the morning. A DHA-licensed nurse is a separate tier, used only when your baby's plan needs one, and it is quoted after the free first visit.

Same family-care team. The free first visit decides the tier: a Care Companion for feeds and settling, a DHA-licensed nurse only where the baby's plan asks for one.

What are the nights like?
When a night carer is enough, and when the baby needs a nurse.
Feeds, winding, changes and settling are carer work, and that is most nights. Anything clinical is the DHA-licensed nurse tier, and the free first visit is where we say which one your baby needs.
- A healthy newborn home from hospital and parents who have not slept in days
- Breastfeeding and you want the baby brought to you, then taken away to settle
- Twins, where the nights are the part that breaks the household
- Recovering from a C-section and unable to lift the baby at 3am
- Set nights for a few weeks before you go back to work
- A NICU graduate on a feeding, oxygen or weight plan, that is a DHA-licensed nurse
- Light therapy for jaundice, tube feeds or any clinical procedure overnight
- A fever in a baby under 3 months, that needs a doctor the same night
- Hard breathing, blue lips, or any newborn emergency, call 998
How it works.
No app, no forms. Just WhatsApp.
The baby's age, how the feeds are going, and which nights you want covered.
We reply in ~3 minA senior nurse comes to your home, meets the baby, reads the hospital notes and decides: Care Companion for most families, a DHA-licensed nurse if the plan needs one.
Same dayStart time, finish time and the price for the block, in writing. You meet her before the first night, not at the door in the dark.
Within 1–2 daysShe takes over at bedtime and hands back in the morning with the feed log, the nappies and how the baby slept. A doctor reads the weight chart each week.
OngoingWhat changes when the help comes at night.
A clinic sees your baby for twenty minutes in daylight. The night is when feeding, settling and sleep actually get sorted out.

Questions.
Anything else, WhatsApp us. We reply in about three minutes.
Is the night nurse actually a nurse?
Usually not, and we would rather say so plainly. Most families need a Care Companion overnight: CNA-certified, BLS-trained, experienced with newborns, a trained carer, not a nurse. She handles feeds, winding, changes, settling and the feed log. A DHA-licensed nurse is a separate tier for NICU graduates and clinical procedures, and she costs a little more per hour, quoted in writing after the free first visit.
How long is a night?
Ten to twelve hours, usually from bedtime to the morning handover. Shorter evening blocks are possible but the four-hour minimum still applies.
How much does overnight newborn care cost?
From AED 75 per hour for the Care Companion tier. Several nights a week, multi-week blocks and twins are quoted as a package after the free first home visit, in writing before night one. You pay us directly.
What does she do while we sleep?
Feeds on the schedule you agree, winding, nappies, settling back into the cot, sterilising bottles and tidying the feeding kit. If you are breastfeeding she brings the baby to you and takes the baby back afterwards. Every feed, nappy and sleep is written down and handed to you in the morning.
Can we book before the baby arrives?
Yes. Message us during the pregnancy and we hold a Care Companion for the week the baby is due. Most families start the night they come home from hospital.
