A Bit About Our Founder
Analuisa Rivera is the founder of Night Owl Infant & Family Care. With over 15 years of hands-on experience supporting families, infants, and patients in both medical and in-home settings, her passion has always centered around compassionate, family-focused care.
Analuisa began working as a nanny in 2010, caring for children through her church community and with private families. That same year, she also started her healthcare career as a Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA), first working in elderly care before expanding her experience into trauma, ICU, and emergency department care.
In 2015, she transitioned into overnight maternal and infant healthcare, working in Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, Nursery, and a Level III NICU. These experiences gave her extensive knowledge in newborn care, maternal recovery, infant feeding support, and high-acuity infant care.
In 2018, after the birth of her first daughter who required NICU care, Analuisa personally experienced the emotional challenges of postpartum depression and anxiety. During that season, she received incredible in-home support that profoundly impacted her recovery and transition into motherhood. That experience helped shape her mission and inspired her passion for helping families safely and confidently transition from hospital to home.
She later welcomed two more children in 2020 and 2021, further deepening her understanding of the realities of postpartum recovery, newborn care, and the importance of family support systems. In 2020, Analuisa officially expanded her work into professional newborn care as a Newborn Care Specialist and Birth & Postpartum Doula. Since then, she has supported a wide range of families — from first-time parents to high-profile private clients — providing services including overnight newborn care, care for multiples, 24/7 support, postpartum recovery assistance, and long-term nanny care.
In 2022, she founded Night Owl Infant & Family Care with the vision of creating trusted, personalized, evidence-based support for families during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. What began as a one-person passion project has now grown into a team of more than 20 professionals supporting families in Phoenix, Arizona, Boston, New York, and nationwide.
Today, Night Owl’s team includes Newborn Care Specialists, Birth & Postpartum Doulas, NICU Registered Nurses, Licensed Nursing Assistants, Sleep Consultants, and other experienced infant and family professionals dedicated to meeting families where they are with compassionate care.
Analuisa’s mission continues to be creating safe, supportive, and judgment-free spaces where families feel cared for, empowered, and never alone during their parenting journey.
