I am a 28-year-old Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula from Brazil, with over 8 years of experience as a nanny and 2 years working as an NCS. I came to the USA as an au pair, which gave me the opportunity to develop a deep passion for newborn care. I am CPR certified, NCS certified, and I am currently working towards my postpartum doula certification. My skills include patience, feeding support, and sleep conditioning, all of which I have honed through my hands-on experience. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care to both newborns and families, ensuring a supportive and nurturing environment. I believe that every newborn and family is unique, and my approach to care is rooted in patience, compassion, and evidence-based practices. My goal is to create a calm and nurturing environment where both baby and parents feel supported and confident. I prioritize gentle sleep conditioning, feeding support, and fostering healthy routines that work for each family’s needs. By continuously expanding my knowledge—such as pursuing my postpartum doula certification—I strive to provide the best care possible. I see my role not just as a caregiver, but as an educator and guide, helping families transition smoothly into their new chapter with their little one.

I can’t recommend Rafaela enough! She took care of my first baby during the night, and her help was truly invaluable. As a new mom, I was exhausted, and knowing that my little one was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to finally get some rest. Rafaela is incredibly gentle, patient, and knowledgeable—she has this calming presence that instantly put me at ease. She knew exactly what to do, whether it was soothing, feeding, or simply making sure my baby was comfortable and safe. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your newborn at night, Rafaela is amazing!

Hi, I’m Krystal! Before anything else, I’m a mother of four, and motherhood has been one of the most beautiful, challenging, and defining parts of my life. I became a mother for the first time at just 19, then again at 22, 25, and most recently at 38. I’ve experienced motherhood through so many different seasons of life, and each one has taught me something new about love, patience, strength, and just how much a mother needs to be cared for, too. My passion for postpartum support comes from a very personal place. I know what it feels like to be completely in love with your baby while also feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and in need of someone to simply show up for you. I know what it’s like to keep going because everyone depends on you, even when you could use someone to lean on yourself. Those experiences stayed with me and ultimately inspired me to become a certified postpartum doula. I wanted to become the person I wish I’d had beside me during some of my own postpartum journeys. I don’t believe mothers should have to do everything, know everything, or pretend they have it all together. I believe in listening without judgment, respecting each family’s choices, and recognizing that sometimes the smallest gestures of support can mean the most. Whether that means holding your baby so you can shower, helping around the house, offering reassurance during a difficult moment, or simply sitting beside you and listening, I want you to feel genuinely cared for. My goal isn’t to tell you how to be a mother. It’s to remind you that you deserve care, compassion, and support while you find your own way. Because while everyone is excited to welcome a new baby, I believe we should be just as intentional about caring for the mother who brought that baby into the world.

Working with Tia was one of the best decisions we made for our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. From the very beginning, she brought such wisdom, warmth, and intentionality into every interaction. In our prenatal visits, she patiently walked us through what to expect, explained interventions in a way that felt clear and empowering, and gave my partner practical guidance on how to support me during labor. She also shared so much valuable lactation education that set us up for success once our baby arrived. When the time came for labor, Tia was absolutely incredible. She created such a safe and calming space, offering comfort and encouragement in every moment. She helped my partner feel confident in how to support me both physically and emotionally, and I will forever be grateful for how she helped us walk through that experience together. She was also the best advocate, ensuring that my wishes were honored and that we felt truly cared for and seen. Even after birth, Tia’s support didn’t stop. She has been a steady, compassionate presence—answering questions, easing worries, and guiding us as we step into this new season of parenthood. Her postpartum care has been just as meaningful as her presence at birth. Tia is a gift. She pours love and intentionality into her work in a way that is truly rare, and I can’t imagine having walked through this season without her.
