Giselle Beuscher - Postpartum Doula

About Giselle

Hello! I’m Giselle Beuscher, a Postpartum Doula located in St Petersburg, Florida. I knew from a young age that I loved babies and found I had a knack for understanding and caring for them. After studying classical music in college, I decided that it made sense for me to pivot and focus on a career in childcare. Over the course of my career as a professional nanny and newborn care specialist, I’ve learned that I also love taking care of parents. In a similar way to watching an infant’s personality grow as they develop, it’s rewarding to see new parents develop their parenting style and grow more confident in their own ability to care for their children. I trained as a postpartum doula because I saw how support in the fourth trimester made a difference in the family’s long-term well-being, and wanted to do what I could to help.

What to expect

Postpartum doula care focuses on “mothering the mother,” nurturing you so that you can nurture and bond with your baby. My job is to assess the best way to support you at any given moment, including physical and emotional support, information on newborn care topics, breastfeeding support, meal prep, care for newborn and older children, household maintenance, and more. I also offer overnight newborn care, as well as registry building services!

Giselle was wonderful to our child. In many ways, she could comfort him better than we could. She helped us at such a critical stage and we learned so much from her.

We used Giselle for newborn care at night twice a week for 6 weeks. She was prompt, trustworthy, caring and allowed us to catch up on much needed sleep. She was very professional and took great care of our newborn. I’d recommended!

Frequently asked questions

What does a postpartum doula do?

A postpartum doula provides physical, emotional, and social support to the new mother and their growing family. No two families are exactly alike, so the specific duties vary each time to fit the needs of the individual. However, this often includes companionship and a non-judgmental space to talk about your feelings on new motherhood and your birth experience, feeding support whether breast or bottle feeding, supporting physical recovery from birth, caring for the newborn so that you can engage in self-care, creating systems in your home to make your daily life easier, meal/snack prep, light household chores such as dishes, laundry, or grocery shopping, and information on newborn care topics such as infant behavior and safe babywearing.

Can overnight support help me if I am breastfeeding?

Yes! When providing overnight newborn care to a breastfeeding parent, I can take over any non-feeding duties throughout the night. I can bring the baby to you for a feeding, provide any support you need while feeding from assessing the latch to refilling your water bottle, and take over once baby is fed to burp them and soothe them back to sleep so that you can get back to sleep as quickly as possible. If you are pumping, I can also collect pumped milk and used pump parts throughout the night, so that you never need to leave your bed if you don’t want to.
