west palm beach

While we do not currently offer our traditional in-home nursing services in West Palm Beach, we are honored to support families in this area through our Postpartum Healing packages (live-in nurse service).

Our experienced Registered Nurses travel to your home to provide personalized postpartum care, newborn support, and the reassurance of having an expert by your side during this important season. From helping you recover and rest to providing education, hands-on newborn care, and nervous system support, our live-in nurses create a calm and nurturing environment for the entire family.

why “Postpartum healing”?

We call these Postpartum Healing Packages because they are designed to care for you - day and night - so you can truly heal after birth.

With a dedicated, live-in registered nurse in your home 24 hours a day, you are never left to navigate recovery, exhaustion, or uncertainty alone. From early mornings to quiet midnight hours, you are supported with compassion, skill, and gentle presence.

During the day, your nurse nourishes your body with thoughtful meals and snacks, keeps you hydrated, supports feeding, cares for your baby, and helps tend to your home and family - so you can rest without guilt. Your healing, strength, and well-being are always the priority. Through the night, your nurse protects your rest. They support safe sleep, assist with feedings and diapering, help your baby settle, and care for you so you can return to sleep quickly and deeply. Because rest is not a luxury in postpartum; it is essential to healing.

This package creates space for your body to recover, your heart to adjust, and your confidence as a mother to grow. You are cared for, encouraged, and held through one of the most sacred transitions of your life.

This is not about “pushing through.” This is about being supported, nurtured, and restored.

Because when a mother heals well, everything else follows.

  • "Oh my goodness new mamas, I thought I didn't need this service. Boy was I wrong. I just had the most blissful night sleeping while knowing my baby was in great hands. He would be brought to me happy and hungry when he was ready to feed, then lovingly taken away to be burped, changed, and watched while he slept again. What a treat! They also help with breastfeeding tips, sleep training, postpartum care, etc. Having someone medically trained serving our family at this time was so amazing! My husband was able to sleep all night uninterrupted in the guest room to give him the energy to care for my child and the household all day! If you're having a baby soon, consider this option!"

  • "So worth it!!! My husband already said it was one thing he wasn't sure on but is so sure on for baby number two!!!!"

  • "Choose Joy is special! I truly believe you and your team are the very best there is! No one else comes close."

  • "I don't know if it was my postpartum anxiety mixed with a little bit of trauma, but I get really emotional reflecting on how Choose Joy Nursing was the best investment I have ever made. I'm tearing up typing this."
