Raquel is a registered nurse, certified pediatric sleep consultant, and certified full spectrum doula. With a deep-rooted background in caring for children and families within their homes, she brings a long history of hands-on childcare experience across all stages of early family life. She is based in the coastal area of south shore Massachusetts

Before becoming a registered nurse, Raquel spent many years working as a nanny and later owned and operated her own nannying business that consisted of as needed booking based childcare supporting families in the day-to-day rhythms of caring for infants and young children day and night. Throughout most of her doula career, she has worked with a primary focus on postpartum care providing newborn overnight care in the home, and offering practical sleep support during one of the most vulnerable seasons of parenthood.

Raquel’s approach to sleep support is grounded in both clinical knowledge and lived experience. She believes that restful sleep is built through trust, responsiveness, and a deep understanding of each family’s unique needs. By combining evidence-based guidance with compassionate, virtual or in-home style support, she creates a steady, calming presence for families as they adjust, heal, and grow.

Her work is centered on providing a gentle harbor for families—supporting not only babies, but the parents who care for them—so they feel confident, rested, and truly supported along the way.
