Hello
Hey there, WNY families! I’m Deanna Van Pyrz, the heart behind Newborn Care Services, and I’m so glad you’re here.
My Story
This isn’t just a business to me—it’s a mission born from a snowy Buffalo winter 30 years ago that I’ll never forget. Picture this: I’d just had my first baby, and the postpartum haze hit hard. For a whole month, I was cooped up indoors, juggling a newborn while snow piled up outside. No sleep, no help, and my mental health took a nosedive. I’d stare out the window, dreaming of summer days at Delaware Park or a stroll along the Niagara River, but I was too exhausted to even step outside. That struggle stuck with me—and it’s why I’m here today, making sure no WNY mom feels that way again.
Fast forward to 2018, when I launched Newborn Care Services right here in Buffalo. I’d spent years learning the ins and outs of newborn care, and I knew night nannies were the missing piece for so many families. I started small—just me —but word spread fast. Now, in 2025, we’re growing bigger than ever, with buffalonightnanny.com covering all of Buffalo and lewistonnightnanny.com bringing relief to Lewiston and Grand Island. By summer, we’ll be in Hamburg, East Aurora, and beyond—because every WNY parent deserves a good night’s sleep.

From high-risk pregnancies to multiples and NICU experiences, I am here to ensure that both mom and baby receive the care, support, and attention they need during this precious time.As a newborn specialist and night nanny, I offer expertise in infant care, sleep support, and establishing routines that promote healthy development. I provide much-needed relief to parents overnight, so they can rest while I care for their newborn, helping them through the night with soothing, feeding, and sleep techniques.My goal as your doula is to empower you through this new chapter by offering emotional and physical support, ensuring that both you and your baby thrive during this time. I am here to listen, offer guidance, and stand by your side no matter what path your journey takes. Whether it’s helping with feedings, baby care, or self-care for you as a new mother,I’m committed to supporting you every step of the way with compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication.Thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey.

Hello
Hi, I’m Amanda—a wife, a proud mom of three young children, and someone who has always had a deep love for caring for babies. Ever since I was little, nurturing others came naturally to me—so much so that I was affectionately nicknamed “Mother Goose.”
My Story
I’ve been a registered nurse for the past 12 years, specializing in the care of newborns in the NICU, newborn nursery, and postpartum units. My passion for newborns has only grown over time, and I’m now transitioning into a new chapter as a night nanny and newborn care specialist.
With my background, I bring not only years of professional experience but also a strong foundation in infant safety and development. I’m certified in BLS (Basic Life Support), NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program), and I’m a certified car seat technician (CPST). I’m also well-versed in lactation support and all things newborn-related.
When I’m not working, my family and I love to camp and travel—we’re always up for an adventure and value making meaningful memories together.
It’s an honor to be trusted with the care of your little one, and I look forward to bringing peace of mind, support, and expert care to your growing family.
