Night Nannies & Night Nurses Near Me in Petaluma, CA

I was born into a family where birth was celebrated, honored, normalized and as kids we were invited into birth spaces by our elders. This I believe initiated my love and trust of birth, of birth givers and their babies, too. Eventually I had my own babies and experienced for myself how potent this time is and how it transformed me to my core. How it has influenced who I am, my health and my spirit in all ways, on all levels. My life's work has always been rooted in caring for families. First I worked as a project specialist to create and develop state-wide, quality child care for low income and working families, then later, a homeschool teacher and a nanny. Currently I am a full time Mama, a Pre/Postnatal Yoga Teacher, a Birth Educator and an Ayurvedic Postpartum Care Giver. I am passionate about working with pregnant and postpartum families and about the practice of yoga. I joined my two passions to create BellyFull Birth.

Hello families! My name is Gabriela McAuliffe, and I’m a certified Postpartum Doula passionate about helping parents feel calm, confident, and supported during the fourth trimester. I provide nurturing, non-judgmental care for both baby and parents, whether that means newborn soothing, light household support, or simply a listening ear during those big emotional shifts. I also offer breastfeeding support and guidance on safe sleep practices, helping families feel empowered with evidence-based information and gentle techniques that fit their unique needs. Originally from Brazil and now based in California, I speak English and Portuguese and love serving families of diverse cultures and backgrounds. My philosophy is rooted in compassion, respect for each family’s choices, and creating a peaceful environment that allows parents to rest, recover, and bond with their new little one.

My role as a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula is to support parents and provide nurturing, responsive care to infants in their first 4 months of life (age adjusted.) I offer evidence-based care and resources, and help set realistic expectations for those early days with a newborn (or multiple babies.) It’s an honor to help you become more confident in yourself, help you get the rest you need, and support your goals for your family’s life. I’m here to respectfully partner with you along the way. Services offered include daytime or overnight newborn care, postpartum support, lactation education, parent instruction on infant safety, developmental milestones, hygiene, sleep shaping, feeding, infant routines, nursery set-up, and recognizing the signs of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (this is strictly educational.) While I encourage self monitoring and action planning for postpartum mood disorders as early as possible, I do not diagnose or treat any conditions. I am not a licensed medical professional and strictly provide non-medical care. I’m a Safe Sleep Ambassador trained through Cribs for Kids. Please be advised that I strictly adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics Safe Sleep Recommendations while babies are in my care: this includes placing baby to sleep alone, on their back - on a firm, flat sleep surface that is free of objects - in a crib/pack n’ play/bassinet without bumpers, blankets, pacifier clips, or toys. I support all types of families that follow various traditions, practices, and philosophies without judgement. As a professional and non-family member, it’s especially important I model and adhere to AAP recommendations and evidence-based practices during the time I work.

Hello, I’m Rebecca DeMartini Certified and trained through The Matrone (Diane Bartlett), Dona International, Spinning Babies, Cornerstone Doulas, Hearthstone Midwifery, Hands on hands in womb care, Lactation, Innate Postpartum, Doula Trainings International, CPR and Neo-Natal Resuscitation. Thinking midwifery was the next step I trained 2.5 years and gained valuable experience, knowledge and wisdom from the amazing midwives I had the honor of working with. Ultimately I decided it wasn’t my calling or my passion the way being a Doula is. I am passionately committed to all families on their journey through fertility, birth and postpartum and know birth intimately. Using my learned knowledge through education and the experience of the 700+ births I’ve had the honor of attending, I work closely with families to help promote body awareness, natural intuition, education and advocacy. I am dedicated to applying the knowledge I have to make your journey from conception to postpartum the best it can be!

Consultant. Doula. Mama. www.mydoulasarah.com Twenty+ years ago, I ran into a college acquaintance at a friends' wedding. She told me she was a Doula. It was the first I'd ever heard of it. Shortly thereafter, I returned to the New York publishing and theater world, later moved to British Columbia to pursue degrees and a career in arts education, birthed my two favorite humans, and then moved to the Bay Area, California, where I was welcomed into the Jewish professional community. Throughout my movement in these roles, I never stopped thinking about what life would be like as a Doula. It took some time, but here I am, pursuing a decades-long dream. And when I'm not reminiscing about my own transformational career path, or working with growing families across the Bay Area, I'm still singing my children to sleep (even the one who's now taller than me).
