Hello, I'm Maira! I have been working with children for over six years. My passion of taking care of kids began when I decided to be a volunteer in a daycare working with newborns. This experience prompted me to become a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula. I enjoy helping and support families in their new parenting journey. My ultimate goal is allow parents to rest during this period while giving them a sense of security that their precious newborn is in good hands. I am proud to provide a safe, informative and loving environment.

I want to start off by saying please don’t judge a book by its cover. Having Lisamaria as my doula was absolutely the best decision we made. Having Lisamaria provide support for my family before and after having my son was something I didn’t realize I needed. That no sleep zombie life really messes you up. Having Lisamaria watching my son while I rested aloud me to actually rest knowing he was in amazing hands. Her breath of knowledge and experience was beyond helpful. She taught me tips and tricks that no class or YouTube video taught me. I still remember the struggle I had trying to get my son in the sling so I could have my hands friend. For some reason I just COULD NOT get it. I watched Lisamaria as she just twisted and pulled and made such a cozy little place for my son to sleep and relax in the sling. It took me MULTIPLE times to finally get it down. I was getting pissed and overwhelm but Lisamaria was there helping me every time with all calmness and patience.

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my newborn! She’s gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced with infants. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, she followed all my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the time she was watching him. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and cares about the babies she looks after. I would highly recommend Melissa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter for their little one!
