Experienced care.
A thoughtful presence.

I’m Ana Nogueira, a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. More than a decade of infant-care experience.

My background includes early-childhood care, au pair work, long-term nanny and household-management roles, overnight newborn care, and professional postpartum support across the Bay Area. That range of experience has taught me how to enter a family’s home with warmth, awareness, and respect—and how to make support feel comfortable rather than intrusive.

I am naturally caring, affectionate, observant, and calm under pressure. I pay attention not only to what your baby needs, but also to how you prefer to communicate, how your household functions, and when you need reassurance, practical help, or simply quiet space to rest. I respect your privacy and boundaries, adapt easily, and want you to feel genuinely comfortable with me in your home.

Based in Oakland, I speak English and Portuguese and welcome different family structures, cultures, traditions, and approaches to caregiving.
