The Heart of Otautahi Night Nannies
Bridging rigorous clinical safety with genuine domestic warmth. We believe that restorative rest for parents is the foundation of a thriving family, providing elite, specialized care during your most vulnerable hours.
Jess Finnigan: 20+ Years of Dedication
Founded by Jess Finnigan, a Registered Teacher and experienced Oranga Tamariki foster caregiver, Otautahi Night Nannies was born out of a profound understanding of the sleep-deprived demands placed on modern families.
Having served as an international nanny in London and the United States, Jess witnessed firsthand the universal struggle of exhaustion during the newborn phase. Her diverse background instilled a deep passion for providing nuanced, culturally sensitive, and highly professional overnight support.
"Our goal isn't just to watch your baby sleep; it's to create an environment where you can surrender completely to rest, knowing your child is in expertly trained, incredibly loving hands."
