Postpartum Doula, New Parents Support $30/hour

There was a time when new parents were innately supported by their "village", which included family members, friends and other people in their community who all came together simply to provide support to the new family. This is something that does not happen in our society at this point. A postpartum doula is a perfect bridge to help with the transition into parenting. This extra support will provide the new parents with space to focus on their new baby and themselves, relieving stresses of practical tasks and providing information and support.

   Services include:

• infant care basics
  
• minor housework such as vacuuming, laundry, dishes and errands
  
• chores such as meal prep and caring for pets
  
• breastfeeding support 
  
• emotional support 
  
• caring for baby so new parents can rest/have a break 
  

A $50 deposit secures services for your birth month, postpartum doula services are then at a rate of $30 per hour, in 4 hour shifts and maximum of 3 days per week. Contact Marcella for availability. Service areas are Philadelphia and South Jersey, US
