Find Doula Jobs in Alameda, CA

This is my first pregnancy, and I am planning a hospital birth in the Bay Area. I am looking for a birth doula who can educate my husband and me about our options and help me develop a birth plan based on my goals and circumstances. I have not yet decided whether I want an epidural or an unmedicated birth, so I would like someone who provides balanced, evidence-based information without pushing one particular type of birth. During labor, I would like support with breathing, relaxation, movement, different labor and pushing positions, massage, counterpressure, and other comfort techniques. I also want someone who will actively involve my husband, teach him how to support me, and help both of us remain calm and understand what is happening. It would be helpful if the doula offered prenatal meetings to practice labor positions and comfort techniques and discuss interventions such as induction, epidurals, assisted delivery, and Cesarean birth. Experience supporting hospital births, inductions, epidurals, unmedicated labor, and unexpected changes is important to me. I am also interested in pregnancy-safe exercises and pelvic-floor and birth preparation. Please let me know if this is part of your training and services, or if you collaborate with a pelvic-floor physical therapist. I am looking for someone warm, practical, nonjudgmental, and comfortable helping me ask questions and communicate my preferences to the medical team while remaining flexible if the safest plan changes.

My wife and I live in Castro Valley, CA, and are expecting our 3rd child to join our family in May of 2027. We never worked with a night nanny/doula before, but with 2 young children already (ages 5 and 3) and a kind indoor cat at home, I know that we will need all the support we can get this time around. Helping with the baby at night and helping my wife sleep & recover are both incredibly important to me. We are looking for someone who will be able to assist us for at least the first 12 weeks, from either Monday - Thursday or Sunday - Thursday, for 8-10 hours per night. Curious to learn more about what kind of services would be covered if we were to work together. We would be looking at a budget of around $40-$50 per hour for those 12 weeks. Thanks for your consideration and for helping parents during this critical time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I would like an epidural but would still like support from a doula to help me with my birth plan, be there as a coach during L&D, and postpartum to help with occasional nights and lactation support. I would love for the postpartum doula to be able to help with light cooking and chores in addition to the baby if possible.

’m looking for a night doula and received your information through the UHC network. My partner and I are located in the [personal details hidden], and we are expecting our baby in April 2027. I’m reaching out to see whether you may have availability around our due date and to learn more about your overnight-support services. In particular, could you share your typical overnight schedule, rates or package options, minimum commitment, and what is generally included during a shift? We are still determining exactly how many nights per week we will need, but are hoping to find someone who can help us get rest while offering practical newborn-care support and guidance during the early weeks. Our budget is around $1200. If you may be available, I’d love to schedule a brief introductory call to learn more about your approach and see whether we might be a fit.
