About Mirella

Hi, I’m Mirella, a postpartum doula based in the Bay Area. I specialize in overnight newborn care, supporting families through the early weeks with their baby for the past 4 years. I help parents feel more rested, confident, and at ease while caring for their newborn, assisting with feeding, soothing, and establishing gentle routines that work for the whole family. My approach is calm, attentive, and tailored to each family. I focus not only on caring for your baby, but also on supporting you; whether that’s helping you get the rest you need, answering questions, or simply offering reassurance during this new chapter. Before your baby arrives, I also offer a complimentary in home visit so we can get to know each other, go over your setup, and make sure you feel fully prepared. My goal is for you to feel confident, supported, and at ease in your early days as a family 🤍

I cannot recommend Mirella highly enough. She was our night doula for the first six weeks after our son was born, and hiring her was truly one of the best decisions we made for our baby and ourselves. Those first weeks are such a delicate and vulnerable time for a family, especially for a new mom and baby, and Mirella brought exactly the presence we needed into our home. She is incredibly kind, gentle, calm, and nurturing, while also being knowledgeable, reliable, timely, and precise in everything she does. We started calling her “the baby whisperer” because she always seemed to know exactly what our son needed. If he was unsettled, she knew how to soothe him, and whenever we asked for advice, she had thoughtful suggestions that worked. She didn’t just care for our son: she taught us so much and helped us become more confident parents. She was especially incredible in helping us establish healthy sleep habits from the beginning. She showed us how to gently teach our son to sleep and worked consistently with him night after night. By six weeks, he was sleeping stretches of around six hours, which I credit in large part to Mirella and the foundation she helped us create. She also helped with household chores, which was enormously helpful during those exhausting early weeks. Initially, I was hesitant to hire a night doula because both my husband and I were off work and I wondered if we really needed the help. Looking back, it was one of the best choices we could have made. Mirella helped us immensely and made those first weeks so much more manageable and special. We feel incredibly lucky that she was part of our son’s first weeks of life. I would recommend Mirella without hesitation and would be more than happy to speak with any family considering working with her. She is truly wonderful.

I am so grateful we found Mirella. Being a first time mom, I felt immense relief knowing my newborn was going to be cared for overnight by Mirella. She showed great care for us as new parents and was a natural caregiver to our baby. I would highly recommend Mirella to any new parents looking to have a true professional watch over their baby and help you navigate those first few weeks postpartum. I wish we could have her forever!

Mirella has been such a wonderful support during my c-section recovery. It’s been a true pleasure! She’s so calm and kind, and my newborn adored her from the start. I felt incredibly supported and learned so much from her about caring for my daughter. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about newborn care and postpartum recovery. Mirella has also been absolutely reliable. I’m so grateful for her support and would hire her again without hesitation!
