Overnight postpartum support designed to help parents rest while their newborn is safely cared for. Night shifts typically range from 8–12 hours. Support includes newborn care, soothing, feeding support (bottle or breastfeeding support), diaper changes, and light baby-related tasks such as washing bottles. My goal is to create a calm, supportive environment so parents can recover and feel confident during the early weeks with their baby. I also provide guidance for newborn routines and gentle support as families adjust to life with a newborn. CPR & First Aid certified and Trustline registered. I serve families in the Bay Area and speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Please feel free to reach out to discuss availability and overnight support options that best fit your family’s needs.

Working with Gissele has been a true gift for our family. She cared for our precious son for the first six weeks of his life, helping him to grow into a happy and healthy baby. She was such a joy to work with - kind, considerate, always prompt, and very proactive with her responsibilities. She was a helpful sounding board for me and taught me a lot about newborn development. Most importantly, she gave us all the gift of sleep! Any family would be lucky to work with her.

Gissele worked with us for one week as the backup of our original postpartum doula, to take care of our three month old baby girl. She did a fantastic job. She was crisp on the execution and her time management was highly efficient. We were in a very orderly rhythm on feeding, playtime, diaper and bottle washing. Our baby had a lot of fun as Gissele gave her many activities. Last but not least, Gissele would pick up tasks and make everything better, as she helped us organize the changing station, drawer and baby toys. We really appreciate the calm and lively energy that Gissele brought in, and any family would be fortunate to have her as your doula!
