What Does a Postpartum Doula do?

A postpartum doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support to families after the birth of a baby. They help new parents adjust to life with their newborn by offering guidance on newborn care, breastfeeding, and cultivating a smooth transition into parenthood. They also assist with household tasks, provide respite for parents, and offer a listening ear, ensuring families feel supported and confident as they get to know their newest family member.

How is a Postpartum Doula Different from a Nanny or a Babysitter?

A postpartum doula focuses on supporting the whole family’s transition after birth, whereas a babysitter or nanny is primarily focused on the care and supervision of the child..

How Much Does Postpartum Care Cost?

I offer flexible packages starting at $480 to meet your family’s unique needs, whether you’d like just a little extra support or more consistent care in the early weeks.

To reserve your package, a 50% non-refundable retainer is due at contract signing. The remaining balance will be divided equally across your scheduled shifts, with payment due before each shift begins.

• The Nurture Package- 12 hours
  Perfect for families who want a gentle start with a little extra help at home.

• The Comfort Package- 24 hours
  Ideal for families who want ongoing care or reassurance in those first weeks

• The Fourth Trimester Package- 48 hours
  For families who’d like the most comprehensive support and peace of mind.

Each package is designed to bring calm, rest, and reassurance to your home. You’ll receive practical help, emotional support, and gentle guidance so you can focus on what matters most: bonding with your baby.

What if the Available Packages Don't Quite fit the Care I'm Looking for?

Every family’s care needs are different and my pricing packages are made with that flexibility in mind. If one option doesn’t quite fit you can add on a 4 hour, 6 hour, or 8 hour (overnight only) shift to customize the support you need.

How Many Hours of Support can I Schedule per Shift?

For daytime shifts I have a 2 hour minimum and a 6 hour maximum.

For overnight shifts there is a 4 hour minimum and an 8 hour maximum.
