Harbor, an infant care technology company, announced the nationwide launch of its Remote Night Nanny, an offering designed to relieve sleep-deprived families.
The virtual service provides parents with overnight support from trained pediatric nurses and infant care specialists. Each Remote Night Nanny has been vetted by Harbor and has training and infant care experience having been employed by other families, night nanny agencies, or hospitals.
“Harbor is on a mission to help parents and caregivers achieve peaceful nights and equip them with the confidence to handle any challenge parenthood throws their way,” says Kelly Brown, director of nursing at Harbor, in a release. “We are committed to fostering an environment where mothers and parents can prioritize their well-being. That starts with getting an adequate amount of sleep each night and having peace of mind knowing their child is in safe, expert hands.”
A Solution for Sleep-Deprived Parents
For many parents, sleep deprivation is a serious challenge, with nearly 50% reporting feelings of being unsupported in managing their infant’s sleep.
Harbor was developed by a team of parents frustrated with the limitations and unreliability of traditional baby monitors. The baby monitoring system features a dedicated local monitor that operates independently of the internet and securely connects to the cloud only when you choose.
Harbor’s new Remote Night Nanny service starts as low as $20 a night with all Harbor customers in 2024 eligible to receive a free two-week trial. It integrates with the company’s advanced baby monitoring system, and once care is scheduled, Harbor’s team of trained pediatric experts takes over nighttime monitoring.
How It Works
Prior to the first scheduled night, parents connect with their designated Remote Night Nanny to review their baby’s routine and set goals. Once the night begins, parents grant the Remote Night Nanny access to their Harbor for all-night monitoring of their child. The Remote Night Nanny will remotely turn down the audio and take over the monitor, keeping eyes on the baby’s sleep in real-time while parents rest.
Parents are only alerted when needed, such as when it’s time to feed or soothe the baby. In the event the parent does not wake up, Harbor sends escalating alerts and helps parents enable emergency bypass mode through their phones to receive calls as further redundancies. If for any reason the monitor loses connection, Harbor’s technology will automatically turn the monitor back on to full volume as a failsafe option. Finally, Remote Night Nanny only has access to a camera when it is granted; as soon as a selected night ends, access is removed.
Before parents agree to the Remote Night Nanny experience, Harbor will provide an agreement for review and signature, addressing any questions or concerns.
