Gentle & nurturing support for families to ease the transition through the postpartum period.

Hello, my name is Alyssa Ellison and I am a Postpartum Doula and newborn care specialist. I was born and raised in Carson, California and currently live in San Pedro, Ca. I've been a birth professional for about 7 years now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I got started in this industry almost by default. I am the daughter of the middle daughter of 5 girls. All of those girls (my aunts) gave birth to girls. If you can see where I'm going, I have seen a lot of birth over the years. Naturally I gravitate towards birth and the perinatal period where I find myself bonding with new and to be new mothers in assisting them with being an extra set of hands so that it allows them to be more hands on and better bond with their baby. I am looking forward to working with new families, creating new memories and helping to strengthen bonds within households.

Rest & Recover Say goodbye to sleepless nights! Rest, recover, and bond with your new baby while our doulas take care of the rest.

Nurturing growing families in our local community is our passion! We support women & families in our community throughout pregnancy, birth, & postpartum recovery. We offer childbirth education, body balancing for a smoother labor/birth & continuous birth doula services, including emotional, physical & educational support. Our 4th trimester postpartum doula services include breastfeeding support, newborn care & light housekeeping.

As a 31-year-old Brazilian mother and wife, I infuse my work as a postpartum doula with a personal touch and empathy. My own experiences have ignited a passion for empowering women through motherhood, and I am dedicated to helping families flourish in their new roles. My personal qualities shine through in my work: I am calm, effective, genuine, supportive, empathetic, trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and compassionate. I am committed to providing exceptional care and support to new families, helping them blossom and thrive.

As a mother of two and someone who has worked as a CNA, I have developed a deep sense of empathy and patience, which I believe are essential qualities for a sitter. I love being a sitter because it allows me to provide care and support to others while building meaningful connections with people. I enjoy offering comfort and assistance, whether it’s for children, elderly individuals, or those with special needs. In terms of experience, I have worked as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), where I gained hands-on experience in patient care, assisting with daily activities, and ensuring safety and comfort. This role involved working with a wide range of individuals, from young children to the elderly, which has given me a broad understanding of various care needs. In addition to my CNA experience, I am currently studying nursing, which has allowed me to further develop my medical knowledge and skills. I have also completed training in CPR and first aid, which are crucial skills for any sitter. Overall, my combination of personal experience as a mother and professional background in healthcare makes me well-equipped to provide attentive and compassionate care.
