Welcome to Little Hugz Nanny — care shaped by experience and heart.
With over two decades of experience caring for newborns, infants, and multiples, I founded Little Hugz Nanny to provide compassionate, personalized postpartum and newborn care to families across Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia.
Every family is unique, which is why our hands-on care is entirely tailored to your home, never a template. I bring reassurance, calm routines, and dependable support to the earliest days of life.
As a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, my goal is not only to care for children but to give parents the confidence that their little ones are receiving exceptional care.
While I am currently in the field directly supporting families, I am also building the foundation to expand our team with the region’s premier nannies and educators. I am so joyful to welcome your family at the very start of this exciting journey.

“We are so grateful that we had Libby to help us during nights with our newborn son. She came to help when he was only 3 weeks old, when we were so nervous about... well... everything. But Libby immediately made us feel cared for as a family. After a couple of nights we were able to finally rest knowing that our son was in good hands with her overnight. Libby helped us learn a lot of new parent skills (bath time went from 25 minutes of struggling to 5 minutes flat after she showed us how she does it!). With all of her experience, she was a great resource for us as new parents, but she was never pushy about how we should make decisions. When our baby was struggling with feeding, Libby worked with us to make sure he was getting enough food to keep growing and getting stronger. It was clear from the start that she loved our baby and that she really takes joy in her work as a newborn care specialist. When I returned to my job as an attorney, I told my mentor that I would like to make my clients feel the way my newborn care specialist made me feel - totally at ease and confident in her ability to handle everything. Between her extensive experience caring for babies, and her genuine love for our little one, we never had to worry about anything when she was here. We initially planned to work with Libby for only a few weeks, but her contribution to our family's mental health and happiness was so great that we ended up working with her for several months. We finally had our last night with Libby when our baby was over six months old. It was bittersweet to say goodbye, but our baby is doing great - sleeping well, eating well, and growing like a weed - thanks to Libby's help. If we ever have another child, we will be hiring Libby again, from day one.

“Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience with Libby Nomel, who provided superior overnight care for our newborn son for several months. Libby is reliable, knowledgeable, kind, safe, and responsible and we could not have asked for a better caretaker for our baby. She was always punctual and followed our directions while also providing her own helpful advice and guidance based on her many years of experience. She has a very warm and loving spirit, and we knew our baby was always safe in her hands. Libby is an excellent communicator and always provided us with notes on how the night went with our baby. She is easily reachable by text and email which made our lives easier when booking nights with her. Libby was truly a saviour during the early months with our newborn and we all miss her dearly. We were so very happy with Libby, and we highly recommend her to any family in search of an excellent night nanny! Please feel free to contact me by email or cell if you have any questions.

“I'm writing to wholeheartedly recommend Libby, who was our night nanny for our son for his first four months after bringing him home! From the moment she joined us, she was fantastic at communicating and incredibly thoughtful with our baby.
