As a postpartum doula, I can bring a lot of love to your new family and try to ease the burden that new parents inevitably feel. I have been for almost 10 years caring for toddlers, babies and school-aged children. I pride myself on being loving, warm, trustworthy, loyal, empathetic and communicative person. Back home, in Brazil, I have a bachelor’s degree in accounting and two MBAs in accounting and finance, but I have found myself once again working with newborns and babies here in the United States. What I love most in life is love loving people!

I highly recommend Raquel . I delivered few weeks earlier than expected and she made herself available to help us when we got home . It was great having her , she took a great care of my newborn , which allowed me to sleep and recover . In addition she helped with the laundry and tidying up the kitchen. We woke up to a content baby and an organized living area.

Holding a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, Amy has worked specifically with infants and toddlers in the Bay Area for over 20 years as both an educator as well as Preschool Director. Her strong understanding of child and human development, in addition to her life experiences, have taught her that with each family comes a diverse and dynamic ecosystem — each with its own unique needs. As a postpartum doula, Amy offers physical support (cooking, light housekeeping, babycare, preparing sitz baths, etc.); informational support (feeding, babycare skills, context and perspective, information about products and local resources); and emotional support/encouragement for anyone in the family (including non-medical assessment of adults’ postpartum moods and experience, and care for older siblings). Amy views herself as a trusted partner who is dedicated to helping new parents discover the needs of their individual children and families, while helping to smooth the edges of everyday life with a newborn so you can enjoy this special time.

Amy is absolutely amazing! We had her for 2 weeks of last-minute night support when nights were getting really tough for us in the newborn days, and wish we could have had her for longer. Our twins were going through an uncomfortable gassy phase and she made sure they were soothed throughout the nights. Amy is super knowledgeable and willing to answer questions and share her expertise. She would always take the time to debrief at the end of each night, even if that meant staying a little longer to make sure all our questions were answered. She also brought books and bottles/wraps/shusher for us to try. We're really grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family in need of postpartum support!

Milati cared for our newborn son for 6 weeks and was such a huge help for us at night. She especially was helpful around the 6 week mark when our son was very fussy and was up frequently in the night. Milati would rock him and sing to him to soothe him. She also was able to help us with some chores when he was sleeping, which was really appreciated. I definitely recommend Milati!

Recent review

We hired Anabelle as a postpartum night doula for the first few weeks after my daughter’s birth back in April. We were very happy with her service and found her to be trustworthy and reliable. She always showed up right on time and did a great job with taking care of my daughter’s night time feeds, putting her to sleep, diaper changes and washing my breast pump and bottle parts. Thanks to her I was able to catch up on some much needed sleep after knowing that my daughter was in good hands. We even extended our contract with her for a few more weeks. However, as she was traveling and had a contract with another family that was coming up she asked if it was okay to send her backup instead for those weeks. We really liked her backup Elida as well and don’t have any complaints about her service either. Overall I would recommend her (and her amazing backup) to any family looking for a good night doula!

After my second was born, I had Rebecca as my night doula for 7 weeks and I can’t recommend her enough! I appreciated her compassion, attentive listening, and helpful tips on everything from breastfeeding to cradle cap. She really took care of me and the baby so I could rest and recover during that delicate postpartum period - providing me with encouragement and nourishment, and enabling me to appreciate the newborn phase!

I cannot recommend Larissa enough! As first-time parents with no experience around babies, we were completely lost. But from the moment Larissa arrived, her calm and nurturing presence changed everything. She guided us through newborn care, helped us navigate breastfeeding, and supported us with feeding, soothing, and establishing a comforting routine. Her patience, knowledge, and gentle encouragement gave us the confidence we desperately needed. We are so grateful for everything she did for our family!

I am Camila, founder of Sweet Tangerine Newborn Care. I am originally from Brazil and first moved to the U. S. as an Au Pair, but my story as a caregiver didn't start there. I've been working with children since 2011 when I started teaching preschool. Since then, I have always been involved in the area of education and child care. When I moved to San Francisco, I also had the opportunity to work as a nanny taking care of infants and toddlers. Being around babies and kids, and teaching them to develop and become amazing humans is a big part of me. I have dedicated myself to learning more and specializing in newborn care, which is the area that I love the most, especially now that I became a mom myself. Additional to my vast experience, I have a Master's degree in education science and many complementary courses in the area, such as Newborn Care Specialist, CPR, and first AID.

Recent review

We are so grateful for the support Camila provided as our postpartum doula. She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, which gave us so much peace of mind as new parents. Thanks to her help, we were able to get great nights of rest knowing our baby was in expert hands. Camila went above and beyond to set us up for success. She provided us with a baby feeding and sleeping schedule—both day and night—that gave us a clear framework to follow for our child’s healthy growth. She also taught us many little tricks and soothing techniques that our baby really enjoys, which have made daily care so much easier. On top of that, she shared valuable guidance on breastfeeding and latching, which made a big difference in our confidence and comfort. Beyond her care, Camila always took the time to explain what she was doing and why, making sure we felt prepared to take things on our own. Her calm presence, thoughtful teaching, and genuine care made all the difference in those early weeks. We recommend Camila without a doubt to any family looking for postpartum support—she’s truly wonderful.

Kamilah supported us through evening and night support for my boy. She helped us understand baby cues and how to transition out of swaddle and how to put baby into bassinet. She also helped with understanding various bottle nipples and gave us training before delivery how to swaddle, dress the baby. She also recommended baby stuff that we should buy. She is very professional and I am also grateful for the emotional support provided by her during this difficult time. I never had to worry about my baby when she was around which certainly helped with faster recovery. She maintained a very positive and calming environment in the house for my baby. I would highly recommend her and would love to work with her again in future.
