Open Positions
We are currently hiring experienced Registered Nurses to provide professional, overnight in-home postpartum care for newborns and their families. The role focuses on delivering trusted clinical support, education, and reassurance during the early weeks after birth.
Night Owl Nursing was founded on the belief that professional postpartum care should be accessible to all families as they transition into parenthood. While pregnancy and birth are often well supported, postnatal care in Canada remains limited. Our role is to bridge that gap by providing evidence-based education, clinical care, and emotional support in the home.
