Gentle care through the quiet hours so your family can rest, heal, and thrive.

About Me

A steady presence
in your first nights

I'm Gissele, a certified postpartum doula specializing in overnight care for newborns and new families in the Bay Area. I believe every parent deserves to rest, recover, and feel truly supported in those tender first weeks.

My approach blends evidence-based newborn care with warm, unhurried presence. When I arrive, you can surrender to sleep, knowing your baby is safe, loved, and attended to with expert care.

"You grew a human. Let someone else hold the night."

What I Offer

Services designed
for new families

Each package is tailored to where you are, whether you're a first-time parent or navigating the newborn stage again with a full house.

Night Shift Care

I take the overnight shift: feeding support, diapering, soothing, and monitoring so both parents can sleep.

Newborn Education

Feeding cues, safe sleep, cord care, soothing techniques, and infant tracking. I teach you everything you need to feel confident in caring for your baby.

Feeding Support

Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding, I assist with latch, position, pacing, and timing, and connect you with lactation resources when needed.

Postpartum Recovery

I support the birthing parent's physical and emotional recovery, watching for postpartum mood changes, offering gentle encouragement, and being a calm, knowledgeable presence.

Light Household Help

During quiet moments overnight, I wash bottles, sterilize pump parts, fold baby laundry, and tidy baby areas so mornings feel a little more manageable.

Night Shift Specialist

While you sleep,
I'm there.

The overnight hours are the hardest and the most important time to have support. A rested parent is a better parent. My night shift service is designed to give you full, uninterrupted rest from evening until morning.

10 PM – 6 AM Shifts

Flexible timing to match your family's schedule and your baby's natural rhythms.

Detailed morning handoff

Every feed, diaper, sleep stretch, and observation logged and shared each morning.

Safe sleep always

Every night, without exception, I follow current AAP safe sleep guidelines.

Newborns to 4 months

Specialized experience across the full fourth trimester, from day 1 home to 16 weeks.

Families

What parents say

"Gissele changed our entire postpartum experience. We went from dreading the nights to actually looking forward to them, because we knew she was there."
