Hi expectant families! I’m Kate, a Newborn Care Specialist with 10 years of newborn experience. I’m primarily serving the Lamorinda and other East Bay/Oakland areas, but willing to consider San Francisco or Marin for the right fit. In 2022, I left my classroom teaching position to pursue private childcare, with a specialty in newborns. Since then, I’ve supported several families as they’ve navigated the early weeks of their new baby’s life. It’s my goal to help new (or renewed!) parents get a full night’s rest so they can take on the day ahead.

Gena was an absolute gift as we navigated the first few weeks of our son’s life. Having had a very difficult postpartum period with my first son, I did all I could to prepare for the birth of my second son which is how I met Gena. She was able to immediately put me at ease when my anxiety was front and center and helped me get centered when things felt extra difficult. She had faith in me when I wasn’t so sure and we talked about life and newborns striking a perfect balance of knowledge and friendliness that is hard to find. If you get the chance to work with Gena you will be all the better for it. I highly recommend her.

I love helping with siblings and pets and getting partners more involved with helping out. As a new mom, or a mom for the 10th time, those first few months with baby are a time for you to recover and get to know your little one. But it is not something that you need to do alone, I can help you.

Hello! My name is Briahna and I am a full spectrum doula and lactation counselor. As a mother of 3, I have experienced all the joys of motherhood and the challenges that come with it.

My hope as a doula is that I can help other mamas navigate the complexities of child birth and mothering through education, holistic practices and tradition.

Rosangela was a night doula for my two daughters. She took care of them for almost 3 months each. Rosangela has a gentle motherly nature that is soothing and helpful for me as a first time mom and during the transition from 1 to 2. She is extremely knowledgeable on newborn sleep schedules, milestones, breastfeeding and nursing. Rosangela took detailed notes of wake window, sleep durations, feeding times and diaper changes. She helps us establish a schedule and night time routine. Rosangela would point out things to our attention before our pediatrician did. Rosangela shares her experience while also giving room for us to make our own judgement and decisions as the parents. I am so glad I invested in her support during those tender and trying days.
