Night Nurses & Night Nannies in Martinez, CA

I have been a career nanny in San Francisco for 13 years , I have worked steadily for two families that entire time. Since all 4 kids I have helped raise ( two sets of twins) are all now in school, Doula work seemed like a perfect transition. Last year I got my Postpartum Doula license and this year I have been working on my Lactation Consult Certificate. I try very hard to stay current on all pediatric reccomendations for infant care, I am fully vaccinated , current on infant CPR training and I have pristine reccomendations. I feel as if I have been taking care of babies my whole life first, as an aunt, then mama and now I am loving life as a young and energetic Grammy. I get so much satisfaction helping new parents transition succesfully into their new roles as parents. I have had the privilege of helping my daughter for a month postpartum with both of her births, as my mom helped me. It is an honor when I get to step into that role for parents without access to family. Thank you for your consideration, Julia

Hi everyone! I’m Laura Cechinato, a CAPPA Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Advanced Postpartum Doula based in Mill Valley, California. I’ve spent the past 10 years caring for babies and young children, and over the years I’ve developed a deep appreciation for those quiet, tender moments that make the early days with a new baby so special. I’m passionate about creating a calm, nurturing environment where parents can slow down, rest, and feel cared for while their baby receives attentive, loving care. I believe postpartum support should feel persona and that every family deserves care that is tailored to their unique needs and way of doing things. Infant sleep has also been a particular passion of mine for many years. I’ve spent a great deal of time studying infant sleep and different approaches to supporting healthy sleep, and I’m currently pursuing formal training in pediatric sleep consulting and lactation to continue expanding my expertise in these areas. I’m excited to continue growing in this field and to bring the experience, knowledge, and genuine care I’ve developed over the years to the families I work with.

I know how hard it is to find high quality care. I've worked with children professionally for 20 years across all ages. I have a degree in Child Development and all of my coursework completed toward a master's in Child Development. I'm CPR/First aid certified. Please let me know if you have further questions. I look forward to hearing from you. :-) Mandy
