About Rafaela
Experience: 10 yrs
I am a Certified Postpartum Doula through NAPS and a Newborn Care Provider. I provide compassionate, respectful, and hands-on support to families during one of the most important transitions in their lives. I have seven years of experience working in a maternity hospital, supporting mothers during labor and providing direct care for newborns, including premature and NICU babies. This background allows me to confidently support families with higher-needs infants. I hold a technical degree in Nursing from Brazil, with over 2, 000 hours of combined theoretical and clinical training, offering a strong clinical foundation for the care I provide. I also completed Birth Doula training with Carrie Kenner. I offer daytime and overnight care, supporting sleep routines, newborn development, and structured, responsive care. I am known for being calm, reliable, and attentive, creating a safe and supportive environment for families.
Most recent review
Rafa has been an exceptional caregiver for our newborn (premie). Rafa is very prompt and dedicated. During overnight care - Rafa has gone above and beyond - giving baths, clipping nails and constant monitoring and holding of our baby who is dealing with reflux. She has genuine affection for our daughter and checks in on her even when not here. Her knowledge has been helpful to us as new parents - taking time to show us methods to soothe and help baby’s digestion. She also always leaves our home much better / organized and clean than when she arrived. We are so grateful for Rafa and look forward to every time she cares for our little girl!
