The cost of a night nanny in San Luis Obispo, CA can be influenced by several factors:

  • Experience and Qualifications

    Nannies with extensive experience, certifications (e.g., newborn care specialist), or specific training often charge higher rates.

  • Number of Babies

    Caring for twins or multiples typically costs more than caring for a single baby due to the increased workload.

  • Hours and Duration

    Rates may vary depending on the number of hours per night, the total number of nights required, and whether the arrangement is short-term or long-term.

  • Duties and Responsibilities

    Additional responsibilities, such as bottle preparation, light housekeeping, or sleep training, can increase the cost.

  • Time of Year

    Demand during peak times, like the holiday season, may drive prices higher.

  • Agency Fees

    Hiring through an agency often includes placement fees or additional charges for their services, adding to the overall cost.

  • Overnight Rates vs. Hourly Rates

    Some nannies charge a flat overnight rate, while others charge hourly, which can influence costs depending on the length of the shift.

Hi There! I’m Felicia Arevalo – Doula, Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most beautiful and transformative experiences a woman can go through—but it can also be one of the most vulnerable. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to walk alongside mothers during this tender time, offering not just support, but presence, care, and genuine love. As a mom of four myself, I know firsthand how deeply overwhelming those early postpartum days can be. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, every journey is different—and every mother deserves to feel seen, heard, and nurtured. My heart is rooted in postpartum care. It’s where I feel called to serve the most—helping moms rest, recover, bond with their babies, and truly feel held as they find their new rhythm. I believe no one should have to walk this part of the journey alone. I serve with my whole heart in any way I can—whether it’s holding space, helping with baby care, providing resources, or just being a comforting presence in the quiet moments. If you’re expecting, in the thick of postpartum, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here for you. Let’s walk this journey together. Can't wait to hear from you!

Felicia was our post partum doula and what a lifesaver she was!! We have twin boys and post partum was not easy. Felicia showed up like Mary Poppins, willing to help in any way, she is knowledgeable about all things from mommy post partum stuff to the baby stuff you didn't know you needed to know. Further more, she is like a baby whisper-our boys instantly took to her and I never had to worry when my boys were being taken care of by Felicia! I literally sighed in review each time Felicia came over!! Oh ya-her lactation cookies are super yummy and worked wonders on my milk supply too!! I highly recommend Felicia for any birthing and doula assistance you may need(pre, birth +post)!

She worked as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) in California for over 10 years, and in Arizona prior to that. Her passion was fueled by her own struggles with myofunctional and feeding disorders and her family’s experiences with delays and disorders.

She is also a (CBWS) Certified Babywearing Educator/Consultant. Heather specializes in supporting a range of specific support needs, including trauma-informed care, support of those who are Neurodivergent or Disabled, and customized support for those impacted by stays in the NICU or pregnancy and infant loss.

She considers it a privilege to be a part of their team, helping to alleviate stress and allowing them time and support for healing, connection, joy and developmentally aligned support during this beautiful season.

Katherine took care of my sweet baby boy Pete from the first night he was discharged from the CVICU after open heart surgery when he was 2 weeks old until he was 6months old. I had always planned to use a night nurse for the first 8-12 weeks because my husband has a stressful demanding job and is a light sleeper. I knew that we wanted help in getting Pete onto a schedule and to help with sleep training. But after his surgery, I just didn't feel comfortable having "just" a nanny watch him. I was so excited and relieved when I found Katherine. Since she is highly trained as a baby nurse with not only CPR but several other certifications, I felt so comfortable from night one that Pete was in great hands. Originally she was only scheduled 2 nights a week with us as we rotated 3 nannies throughout the week, but very quickly I requested she become our primary nanny and she then worked 4-5 nights a week, which was a dream! Katherine is so knowledgeable and caring - she made me feel so at peace with having a baby with medical needs and being able to care for him on my own during the day. I often would write down random baby questions throughout the day and then as soon as she arrived and Pete was asleep, I'd sit down and pepper her with all my concerns and questions. She was magical in holding my hand when needed, encouraging me that I was enough as a mom always, and always took the time to answer and thoroughly explain any questions on any subject I brought up. She was super flexible as well. She came inearly for date nights, stayed late when I had appointments, and I even took her with us on vacation several times in those first 6months. Having her as a second pair of hands was invaluable! I highly recommend Katherine as an infant nanny, especially if you have a newborn! You will not regret it!

Hiring an overnight doula from Peaceful Passages was one of the best decisions I made for my postpartum recovery. Not only did my doula lovingly care for me and my newborn, she went above and beyond—prepping nourishing meals, providing breastfeeding support, organizing the baby’s nursery, and even helping with my twin toddlers so I could rest. Her calm, professional presence made my healing after a c-section so much easier. I was especially impressed by how seamless everything was—she was professionally dressed, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. On top of that, Peaceful Passages accepted my Carrot insurance and handled all the billing with ease, which lifted such a burden off my shoulders. This service was truly a lifesaver for me and my family. I felt cared for, supported, and able to focus on bonding with my baby. I can’t recommend their overnight doula services enough!

Hello, my name is Maria Depaz. I was born and raised in Monterey County, California, and I have always carried a deep passion for medicine, community care, and teaching. For over 12 years, I have worked in the medical field as a CNA, Medical Assistant and Phlebotomist, with experience in pediatrics, family medicine, urgent care, and psychiatric care. I am NICU Certified and currently serve families as a Full Spectrum Doula, supporting individuals through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, pregnancy loss, and reproductive experiences with compassionate and culturally rooted care. Alongside my medical background, I incorporate traditional Mexican healing practices that have been passed through generations in our communities. This includes sobadas, cerradas de caderas, baños, and postpartum care that honors the body, spirit, and transition into parenthood. I truly believe care is human, and my motivation to support my community is deeply rooted in my experiences within the medical field. While I may not have become a doctor, I do not see that as a limitation, but rather as a gift. My roles allowed me to build meaningful connections, provide quality care, and truly get to know the patients and families we served within our community. Through those experiences, I learned that healing is not only found in medicine, but also in compassion, trust, advocacy, and human connection. Those lessons continue to guide the way I care for families today. My approach blends clinical knowledge with nurturing, human-centered support. I believe families deserve care that is informed, respectful, culturally connected, and centered around trust, consent, education, and dignity through every stage of their journey.

Finding Ginger less than a month before my due date felt like pure fate—she literally approached us as we were walking out the door at a Meet the Doulas event, and we felt instantly warm, comfortable, and at ease with her. My labor didn't exactly go on schedule (he arrived almost two weeks late and required an induction!), but Ginger was our absolute anchor through every single moment of it. She is such a nurturing, loving, and caring maternal soul—so much so that we affectionately call her "Aunt Ginger." Leading up to and during the induction, she gave us incredible guidance, helping us try to get things moving naturally with advice on pressure points and keeping us grounded. Throughout the hospital stay, whenever the medical staff left the room, Ginger would quietly review everything with us, help us process what the doctors had said, and make sure we remembered the questions we wanted to ask. When the medical team brought up using a vacuum during delivery, Ginger gently encouraged us to pause, push back, and ask for time to discuss our options. Having her there to prep, advocate, and vouch for us meant everything—we ended up having a completely intervention-free birth and welcomed a perfectly healthy, beautiful 10-pound baby. Ginger was truly an angel during one of the most intense experiences of my life, and she is someone we will remember and cherish forever. If you are looking for a doula who will treat you like family, protect your birth experience, and pour her whole heart into supporting you, hire Ginger immediately!
