Doulas

What Is a Doula?

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to individuals and families before, during, and after childbirth. Unlike medical staff such as doctors or nurses, doulas do not perform clinical tasks. Instead, their focus is on comfort, guidance, and advocacy—helping the birthing person have a positive and supported experience.

Types of Doulas

Birth Doula
Supports families during labor and delivery by offering comfort measures, coping techniques, and continuous emotional support. They also help advocate for the birthing person’s preferences.

Postpartum Doula
Provides support after birth, helping families adjust to life with a newborn. This includes newborn care guidance, emotional support, light household tasks, and helping parents build confidence.

Antepartum Doula
Works with individuals experiencing high-risk pregnancies, offering support, education, and resources prior to birth.

Why Families Hire a Doula

Doulas help create a calm, informed, and empowering environment during one of life’s most important transitions. Their presence can:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Improve confidence for new parents
  • Provide hands-on guidance without judgment
  • Support both the baby and the entire family unit

How Doulas Fit Into Household Staffing

A doula plays a unique role within a household support system. While a nanny focuses on long-term childcare, a doula provides short-term, specialized care during the perinatal period.

A top-tier household staff member—whether a doula, nanny, or family assistant—anticipates the needs of the household and prepares for all eventualities, creating a seamless and supportive home environment.

Compensation & Considerations

Wages and benefits for doulas can vary depending on geographic location, level of experience, and scope of responsibilities.
