Sibling Care Services:

Rest easy knowing an experienced, trusted person is taking care of your older children during your labor and birth. This service is available both for home births, or during the time you are at home laboring and when you go to your place of birth.

Base rate: $350 for up to 12 hours, $37.50 per hour after 12 hours

What this includes:  

• Free initial consultation/interview

• One face-to-face prenatal visit to introduce the doula to older sibling(s) and to learn the family’s needs, possibly helping the children to understand what to expect, reading books, looking at photos or videos about birth and welcoming a new sibling into the family.

• On-call services from 38 weeks until the birth of your baby

• Continuous childcare as long as needed during the labor/birth and early postpartum hours (additional charges apply after first 12 hours of support) 

• If the parents prefer to have children present during the birth, the doula will explain to the child(ren) what is happening so that they can understand, and be ready to leave the room if the child becomes overwhelmed or anxious—or at the parent’s request.

• Back-up doula for extenuating circumstances (birth longer than 24 hours, sickness, etc.)

• One postpartum call/visit to see how everyone is adjusting.
