POSTPARTUM DOULA

Nurturing you so you can nurture your family

You did it! After all of the preparation for this little one (or ones), you are finally coming home with your arms full and heart swelling with pride! Now what? Truth be told, many families prepare heavily for their births, leaving very little time to consider their postpartum experience. Family and friends may visit, but no one is there to take care of you and your needs as as new parent. Whether you’re realizing your need for an extra set of experienced hands during pregnancy, or you’ve been home for a few weeks or months already, it’s never too late to hire!

The Birth Haven offers day time and night time services in a multitude of packages to accommodate your individualized needs. Need a listening ear, someone who fully supports all of your parenting choices and philosophies, and an extra set of hands so you can be the best you? We’re here to help! Package rates between $35 and $40 per hour.

NIGHT NANNY

A goodnight sleep is one click away!
