“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.”

“I am writing this letter of recommendation for Elizabeth (Libby) Nomel, who was our night nurse 7 days a week for about 2 months for our baby boy Leo (who was born in August 2022). She was there the first night we got home from the hospital and took such good care of Leo every night. My husband and I were so impressed with how good she is with babies and how knowledgeable she is. She knew exactly what we needed and items we were missing and needed to purchase (which was so helpful for us as first time parents). She knows how to deal with all sorts of issues – fussiness, diaper rash, feeding issues, gas, etc. She got him sleeping in 6 hour stretches immediately and was so good about getting him on a schedule. She is incredibly proactive. She kept detailed notes of every single night and sent them to us in the morning – without us even asking her to do this. She showed us how to bathe him and gave us all sorts of tips and tricks. We didn’t know how to use the Snoo, sound machine, baby monitor, etc. and she was setting everything up for us and showing us how to use it. She was just the right balance of deferential to our preferences, but also ready to give suggestions when we didn’t know what to do.

Libby is so considerate and thoughtful. She was always checking up on me to see how my c section healing was progressing and encouraging me to rest when I was pushing myself too much. She goes above and beyond to be quiet at night — you would never know she is in the kitchen heating up milk, etc. in the wee hours of the night. She was very flexible with her schedule and several times came extra early without much notice so we could have a date night.

Libby is incredibly sweet, kind and trustworthy, she is always on time, and to this day she still checks up on us and Leo. She cares for babies not just with the knowledge and expertise of someone who has been doing this a long time, but with a maternal instinct and love that only someone who has raised many children would have. We begged Libby to be our full time nanny but she was unable to because of our schedule. We could not have been more happy with our experience with her and feel incredibly lucky to now have this truly special person in our lives. I highly recommend Libby to anyone who needs a night nurse or childcare of any kind. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.”

“It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for Libby, who served as the night nurse for our twin boys for three months in 2024. Libby demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and compassion during her time with our family, and we highly recommend her to other families.

From the moment Libby joined us, it was clear that she was an experienced and skilled caregiver. She quickly established a calming routine for our newborns, ensuring they were well-fed, soothed, and rested throughout the night. She realized that the boys were refusing to eat because of the temperature of the milk, which drastically upped their intake. Her experience is invaluable, and she gave us peace of mind during those early months.

Libby’s warmth and dedication went beyond her technical skills. She genuinely cared for our boys, treating them with kindness and attention as if they were her own. She was always attentive to their needs and showed a natural instinct for recognizing and addressing their individual personalities and preferences. She also supported me through exclusively pumping, cleaning the pump parts and bringing them to me throughout the night.

In addition to her exceptional care for our babies, Libby consistently demonstrated a strong sense of professionalism. She was reliable and communicative, keeping us updated on the boys’ nightly schedules and any observations she made. She also provided thoughtful advice on sleep training, feeding routines, and general baby care, which made a lasting difference in our family’s day-to-day life.

Libby’s presence was truly a blessing for our family. She helped us navigate a challenging and sleep-deprived phase with confidence and ease, and her support was instrumental in ensuring our boys thrived.

We wholeheartedly recommend Libby to any family in need of a caring, experienced, and reliable night nurse. She is an exceptional professional and a wonderful person, and we are incredibly grateful for the time she spent with our family.”

“It’s my pleasure to recommend Libby, who worked with our family as a night nurse following the birth of our third baby, Roma. From the very first night, Libby brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and confidence that immediately put us at ease.

She is incredibly knowledgeable about newborn care—attuned to feeding cues, sleep patterns, and the subtle needs of both baby and parents during those early, often exhausting, weeks. Libby was gentle, nurturing, and attentive with Roma, and also wonderfully supportive of me as a mother. She offered thoughtful guidance, practical tips, and reassurance that made the postpartum experience smoother and more restful for our entire family.

Beyond her technical skills, Libby is simply a lovely person to have in your home—kind, reliable, and discreet. She became a trusted part of our family routine, and we felt fully confident that Roma was in excellent hands every night she was with us.

I would recommend Libby to any family seeking compassionate, expert newborn support. She was a pleasure to work with.”

“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.

As new parents, we were overwhelmed and unsure, but Libby quickly became our guide. Her tips on helping our baby sleep and feed better were invaluable, and her kind, patient nature made our journey so much smoother.

What stood out the most was her genuine love for what she does. Her care and passion for taking care of babies shine through in everything she does. In the middle of the night, when exhaustion hit me the hardest, Libby was there, helping to clean my pump parts and ensuring that I had everything I needed. Her energy and dedication to my recovery truly meant the world to us.

We couldn't have been happier Libby. Her presence brought us peace of mind and immense gratitude. We would highly recommend her and are more than willing to share our wonderful experience with anyone who has questions.”

“Libby cared for our newborn twins overnight, initially every night and then sporadically until the twins were 7 weeks old. We highly recommend Libby and truly don’t know what we would have done without her during this time. Libby is very knowledgeable about newborn care and began helping us even before day 1 by advising us on what products to buy (including some designed specifically for twins). After the twins were born, Libby took great care of them and helped get them on an overnight feeding and sleeping schedule. As first-time parents, we also learned a lot from Libby—everything from how to swaddle the babies to how to bottle feed twins at the same time to what kind of diaper cream to use. We felt completely at ease entrusting our twins to Libby at night while we got some much-needed sleep. It was clear each morning that she had taken great care of them. We never heard a peep and woke up to happy twins, a tidy nursery, and clean bottles. Libby is kind, gentle, and very professional and responsive. We really enjoyed getting to know her and will miss having her around. If we ever need help with overnight care in the future, we would hire Libby again in a heartbeat. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to hear more about our experience.”

“Libby is incredibly professional and has an amazing personality. She helped us care for our daughter when we first got home from the hospital, and when I ended up needing to have my c-section revised shortly after that, she stepped in for my husband and I when I had to have another major surgery and recover. She quickly got our daughter to sleep through the night, and taught us how to bathe, change, feed, and soothe her, which was so helpful as first time parents. She also helped me manage cleaning my pump parts and taught my husband a system for cleaning bottles. She is an amazing night nurse and caretaker and we can't recommend her enough.”

“My wife and I hired Libby to help us learn and recover for our newborn baby. Libby is such a nice, kind, caring, and smart person. She is very trustworthy and became a member of our family by the time that she left. We really enjoyed her time with us and really helped us learn about how to be the best parents we can be. We were able to recover from birth and get up to speed to feel comfortable to able to fully handle our newborn. It wouldnt have been as easy to do without Libby, her knowledge, and her experience.

We were sad to see her go. We would recommend her to everyone!”

“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.”

“Libby is wonderful! She helped us get our baby on a regular feeding schedule, provided tips and tricks for teaching our baby self soothing techniques and helped us learn swaddling techniques. We found great comfort every night that Libby was with us, and we were able to rest and recover while knowing that our son was in the best hands. She was a bright light in our postpartum journey and we give her the highest recommendation for any parents considering her services.”
