My journey started when I finished my studies in early childhood education in Brazil and worked with children of all ages including children with emotional and behavioral disorders. One day I had a opportunity to help my friend on her postpartum and I felt so helpful and happy to give her the love and support she needed. After that I immersed myself in the world of motherhood, I felt so passionate and became a postpartum doula. I also had the amazing experience when I had my own sunshine boy, and being a mother is so unique and wonderful but also very challenging. Today I am so accomplished to do my job as a postpartum doula! I know the importance of having a Doula to help, and support a mother and family in their pre-birth, delivery and also in the difficulties encountered in the postpartum journey.

Above all else, I believe every person deserves care that is aware and inclusive of their values, lifestyle, abilities an environment. I also fully trust that you already know what's best. As a doula, I'm here to provide the individualized support, evidence-based resources, and tools to make navigating all of this a little easier on you. My goal is to empower you to advocate for yourself in order to have the experience that you want. I'm here to meet you wherever you are in each moment. As someone with lived-experience as a biracial individual (second-generation immigrant, Mexican-American) raised in a multicultural & blended family, I'm especially passionate about providing support to those that identify as members of historically resilient communities. I understand that receiving care from someone we feel connected to can be invaluable. I offer a free consultation to provide a space to talk through your unique hopes, fears, and needs so that you feel good about moving forward with me being a part of your support crew. If it doesn't feel like the perfect match, I will do my best to refer you to other available doulas in the area.

My passion for birth work and mental health comes from a deep calling to serve, uplift, and empower. Every mother deserves to feel supported, heard, and respected throughout her journey, and I am truly honored to be that steady, compassionate presence by your side. Rooted in a tradition that celebrates motherhood, I hold close the beauty of this sacred transition, while also understanding the loneliness it can sometimes bring in today’s fast-paced world. My heart’s mission is to bring light, joy, and comfort to every family I work with—so you never have to walk this path alone. With my background as both a direct care counselor and a certified doula, I take a holistic approach—blending emotional insight with practical guidance. I support families with care for the mind, body, and heart during this profound time of change. More than anything, I want you to feel seen, held, and cherished in your unique journey into parenthood.

Welcome to 3Elders! My name is Carly Riley. I came into this work through my own transition into Motherhood — a time filled with expansion, but also clear gaps in the support new families receive. Today, I provide postpartum care that nurtures healing, attunement, and connection so that Mothers can feel supported as they transition into their new role into community. I dove into various workshops and training sessions which resulted in my Postpartum Doula Certification. In my practice, I draw upon nourishing traditions that support the physiological design of a Mother through: nourishment, warmth, support, loving presence and rest. If a Mother is properly tended to in the first few weeks after giving birth, she has the opportunity to physically heal, to connect with baby, and to slowly integrate back into her community thriving as opposed to surviving. My goal is to create a nurturing space where the Mothers & family feel empowered and validated in their journey through early parenthood. Postpartum care for Mothers isn’t a luxury but a necessity so families and future generations can flourish. I look forward to connecting with you and being a part of your village during this incredible chapter of your life.

As a mother of two and someone who has worked as a CNA, I have developed a deep sense of empathy and patience, which I believe are essential qualities for a sitter. I love being a sitter because it allows me to provide care and support to others while building meaningful connections with people. I enjoy offering comfort and assistance, whether it’s for children, elderly individuals, or those with special needs. In terms of experience, I have worked as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), where I gained hands-on experience in patient care, assisting with daily activities, and ensuring safety and comfort. This role involved working with a wide range of individuals, from young children to the elderly, which has given me a broad understanding of various care needs. In addition to my CNA experience, I am currently studying nursing, which has allowed me to further develop my medical knowledge and skills. I have also completed training in CPR and first aid, which are crucial skills for any sitter. Overall, my combination of personal experience as a mother and professional background in healthcare makes me well-equipped to provide attentive and compassionate care.

I am a birth and postpartum doula currently based in Hayward, CA. I’m passionate about amplifying women’s voices and protecting the desired experiences for birth givers. I love to travel and to continue to learn. Every woman deserves a doula. Please reach out!

Hello, I am a mother and wife. I have been a doula for over 17 years now and I love what I do and enjoy working with families to help out in one of the most special yet vulnerable times in their lives. I help guide parents and babies to good healthy sleeping habits and day schedules/routines. I am also very well experienced in lactation/breastfeeding which can be very challenging during the first 1-3 months. I am all about parents feeling confident and comfortable with their little ones and I look forward to helping you in all your needs during this precious time.

✨ Hi friends! I’m Jess (she/her) — a queer birth & postpartum doula based in the Bay Area. I grew up around birth and babies (shoutout to my nurse mom!) and fell in love with supporting new parents early on. After seeing so many of my friends navigate birth and postpartum without the support they deserved and needed, I knew this was the work I was meant to do. I offer care that’s supportive, inclusive, and centered on you—your values, your vision, and your unique journey into parenthood. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just dreaming about building your family someday, I’d love to support you. 💛
