Gabriela supported our family four nights a week from when our baby was 2 to 6 weeks old. She took wonderful care of our newborn, helping us maximize sleep during those exhausting early weeks, essential with a very active toddler to care for each morning. She was also incredibly helpful in easing our baby’s gas issues, offering tips, exercises, and remedies that made a real difference in her comfort and sleep. We’re so grateful for her calm and knowledgeable presence during such an important time

Gabriela is an amazing caretaker! I was so overwhelmed when we came home with our newborn, but Gabriela guided us through everything. She is caring, professional, and reliable.

The nights she worked with us were wonderful. We were able to get genuine, peaceful sleep. She also taught us everything we needed to know for daytime care: how to swaddle our baby, feed her, get her settled, etc. She also recommended necessary baby items and provided weekly schedules with care guidance.

Our dog loved her too! My only regret was not hiring to stay with us longer.

Hiring Gaby as our night doula was one of the best decisions we made as new parents. Not only did she help us get much-needed rest, but she also provided invaluable guidance, answering our questions and helping us feel confident, organized, and supported. Babies may not come with a manual, but Gaby absolutely does!!

Thanks to her, our 12-week-old is happy, healthy, and sleeping through the night. We would definitely work with her again if we’re lucky enough to welcome a second baby.

As first time parents, we didn’t know much about what to expect from feeding progression to sleep cycles. We were so glad to have Gaby guide us every step along the way to progress our little one through her first 8 weeks of growth. Gabby is very detail oriented, responsive and thoughtful in assessing our little one’s needs. She also had wonderful knowledge in the tips and tricks to handle our baby’s reflux issues and always followed to assess progression. She was instrumental in helping me recover post partum to get the rest I needed during night time and also helping guide along with my pumping journey. The sleep schedule Gabby put our little one on got her to sleep through the night by 8 weeks and we are so much well rested going into month 3 to interact with our baby during the day time.
