What I Do 

A typical shift is 10pm - 6am, though we can discuss if a different time would work better for you. I usually arrive a little early so we can chat about baby’s last feed, sleep, and talk about how your day went before I push you off to bed at ten! We will schedule a day to meet up in your home before the baby arrives so we can meet in person, talk about what to expect and give you a chance to ask any and all questions you may have. This process can be overwhelming with all the baby stuff you are told you need, but I am here to give you guidance and support any way I can. 

​

Once the baby is born, I recommend you spend a couple nights alone with your baby as this is an important part of bonding. So typically I will have my first shift with you 2-4 days once you're home from the hospital. (But of course, this all depends on what your need!) Once I start, all I need from you is a comfy chair in the baby's room. I am an up all night doula, so I don’t require a sleeping space. I am more than happy to fold laundry or clean a kitchen, whatever you need as long as I am in close proximity to the baby, and it’s not disruptive to you! Of course, support looks different for everyone, but my focus is to take care of your baby while you take care of you! I adhere easily to any and all situations, making a safe space for everyone.
