Night Nurses & Night Nannies in Richmond, CA

Hello parents. I am a newly trained doula, currently in the process of getting certified. I am extremely excited and grateful to work with you. Though I have very little experience, I will do my best to make labor as comforting as I can.

Hello and welcome! My name is Maria, and I am a postpartum night doula with a background in emergency medicine. With over 10 years of nanny experience and the last two years focused exclusively on overnight postpartum care, my primary goal is to help families thrive rather than just survive this period. I specialize in establishing baby schedules, sleep training, and supporting families through the initial transition home. My background includes extensive experience with twins and various feeding methods, and I am a certified infant feeding educator. Prior to my work as a doula, I served for six years as an EMT in San Francisco, which included conducting NICU transports for premature babies. This experience allows me to remain calm and effective under pressure. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am dedicated to providing unbiased, compassionate, and inclusive care to every kind of family. I hold certifications in Postpartum Infant Care, Infant Feeding Education, CPR, and First Aid. When I am not working, I enjoy powerlifting, singing, and working on jigsaw puzzles. I truly love the work I do and look forward to the possibility of supporting your family.

I’m Lu Rossetto, a DONA-certified birth doula and certified postpartum doula. I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support before and during labor, as well as postpartum family support and overnight newborn care. I assist with feeding, soothing, diaper changes, safe sleep, newborn routines, and emotional support so parents feel confident, supported, and well cared for. I serve families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

My path to becoming a doula comes from both my clinical background and my lived experience caring for families. I am a registered nurse by training, and after moving to the U.S., I spent years supporting families as a nanny, building deep trust in their most intimate routines. Becoming a doula allowed me to reconnect with my nursing roots while offering something deeply human: calm, presence, and informed support during one of the most transformative moments of life.

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).

My philosophy is centered on fostering safety and comfort for both the parent and the baby. My dedication to my profession is unwavering, and as a doula, I am committed to delivering optimal emotional and physical support to my clients. I consider each parent and child unique and being adaptable and attentive to the diverse needs of families ensures that my care is not only practical but also emotionally supportive.

The need to be reassured and supported are normal and valid as well. I am an advocate for all birthing individuals.

However, I will not be taking away your power by making every decision for you. This is your body, your birth and your baby. My job as your advocate and support person is to make sure you are informed of all your options, so that you don't ever lose your rights to bodily autonomy when you walk into the hospital. As your advocate I will do my utmost to support you and your choices while explaining your options to you. You are still in control, and that is very important to me!

There are many types of support I offer including, feeding support, emotional support, helping you find a rhythm, preparing meals, and holding the baby so you can sleep. Everything I do is done to empower you and help you feel confident in your new role. The most important thing I do during the postpartum period is encourage you to rest and bond with your new baby. The weeks after birth are an immensely beautiful and emotional time. This is not the time to worry about cleaning and jumping back into your normal life. It's time to rest and get to know the child you've waited so long to meet!
