Night nanny and newborn care jobs
New parents need sleep, and they need somebody they trust with their baby to get it. If you have cared for newborns through the night, you are one of the people they are looking hardest for.

Kalvri for caregivers, at a glance
- Cost to you
- Nothing. Caregivers never pay: not to apply, not to match, not to talk to a family.
- Commission
- None. Kalvri takes no cut of your rate.
- Who pays you
- The family, directly, at the rate you agree together.
- Your hours
- You set them. Families who need other hours, or work you won't do, aren't brought to you.
- To join
- A free application, about 15 minutes. A person reads every one, and you hear back either way.
- Who can apply
- 18 or over, able to work in the US, paid caregiving experience, and an iPhone.
What the work involves
- Night feeds, or bringing the baby to be fed and settling them after.
- Changing, swaddling and safe sleep, every time.
- A written log of feeds, sleep and diapers for the morning.
- Help building a sleep routine, if that is your skill.
- Twins, premature babies or recovery after a C-section, if you have the experience.
What parents will ask you
- How many newborns you have cared for, and for how long each.
- How you settle a baby who won't sleep.
- What safe sleep practice you follow.
- Whether you have infant CPR and first aid training.

How Kalvri works for caregivers
Caregivers never pay Kalvri anything. Until Kalvri opens on the App Store you apply once, and a person reads every application. In the app you tell Kalvri your hours, your rate, your skills and what you will not do, and families whose needs you meet see you, ranked by fit.
- No fee to apply, no commission, and every conversation is free on your side. The family pays you directly, and every dollar is yours.
- Families who need work you have said you won't do, or more than the hours or distance you set, are not put in front of you.
- What you say you will not do is respected. Kalvri never pushes you toward work you have ruled out.
- You talk with a family before anything is agreed, and you can review the families you work for.
Apply once, free
One application covers every kind of work you do. About fifteen minutes, a person reads it, and you hear back either way.
