About Gabriela

Hello families! My name is Gabriela McAuliffe, and I’m a certified Postpartum Doula passionate about helping parents feel calm, confident, and supported during the fourth trimester. I provide nurturing, non-judgmental care for both baby and parents, whether that means newborn soothing, light household support, or simply a listening ear during those big emotional shifts. I also offer breastfeeding support and guidance on safe sleep practices, helping families feel empowered with evidence-based information and gentle techniques that fit their unique needs. Originally from Brazil and now based in California, I speak English and Portuguese and love serving families of diverse cultures and backgrounds. My philosophy is rooted in compassion, respect for each family’s choices, and creating a peaceful environment that allows parents to rest, recover, and bond with their new little one.

Gabi was great! We did not have overnight postpartum support with our first baby, so we were not sure what to expect or how much of a difference it would make. Having Gabi with us proved to be immensely helpful and made those early weeks feel far more manageable. Communication with her was effortless, and we could always count on a prompt, thoughtful response. She was consistently punctual and dependable, which gave us one less thing to think about during a demanding time. She listened closely, remembered every detail, and adapted seamlessly to the way we wanted our baby cared for. Most importantly, she earned our trust pretty much immediately. Of everyone who helped us during the postpartum period, she was the person we felt most confident leaving our baby with. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her support and recommend her with no hesitation.

Gabriela was an incredible support to our family during the newborn stage. She is warm, dependable, knowledgeable, and wonderful with babies. Her calm presence and expert care gave us peace of mind and allowed us to get much-needed rest. We are so grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a compassionate and trustworthy night nanny.

We had Gabi come over to help us at night with our newborn. We wish we had her help for longer! It can be scary to welcome someone into your home with a newborn, but Gabi made us feel comfortable, provided advice, and most importantly enabled us to have better sleep!
