We are first-time parents expecting a baby girl around May 10th on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. We're looking for a certified postpartum doula or newborn care specialist to provide overnight support starting shortly after birth, ideally within the first week home from the hospital. Schedule: We'd like to start with 3 nights per week (flexible on which nights) for an initial 4-week engagement, with the possibility of extending to 6–8 weeks depending on how things go. Typical shift would be approximately 10 hours overnight (around 8pm–6am), though we're open to adjusting based on what works best. Provider requirements: We strongly prefer someone with a postpartum doula certification (DONA, CAPPA, or equivalent) and at least 2–3 years of professional newborn care experience. Current infant CPR certification is a must. We'd value someone who has worked with first-time parents before and is comfortable guiding us through the learning curve rather than just taking over — we want to build confidence, not dependence. A provider who is experienced with breastfeeding support (positioning, latch guidance, pump setup) is especially important, as we plan to breastfeed and want help navigating that during nighttime feeds. Baby details: Healthy singleton pregnancy with no complications expected. Newborn girl, no known special needs. We plan to breastfeed but are open to supplementing with formula if needed — we'd appreciate a provider who is supportive and non-judgmental about either approach. Additional duties: Primary focus is overnight newborn care — feeding (bringing baby to breast or bottle prep), diapering, soothing, and settling baby back to sleep so both parents can rest. Beyond that, we'd appreciate help with establishing healthy sleep habits early on, light bottle washing and pump parts cleaning, and keeping a simple log of feeding times and diaper output. We are not looking for daytime household help — this is purely overnight newborn support. About us: Dad will be working and mom is on maternity leave for a few months. Sleep matters for both of us to function, which is the main reason we're seeking help. We live in a doorman building on the Upper East Side, so building access is straightforward. Budget: We're targeting $350–450 per night for a 10-hour overnight shift, though we're open to discussing rates for the right fit. We have employer benefits that may cover a portion of the cost for certified postpartum doula services specifically, so certification is a real plus. Timing: Our due date is May 10th, so we're looking to confirm someone in the next 2–3 weeks. We understand this is a shorter lead time than ideal and appreciate anyone who has availability for a late spring start.

I am looking for a doula to prepare me for childbirth and be present on the day of the birth delivery—preferably someone who accepts my Fidelis insurance. The baby is due on July 5th, at the Hospital Katz Women's Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center Insurance Fidelis Naturally birth

Plan to give birth in hospital, have no spousal support. Would rather have doula in room during birth process .. my parents, I’d like them to come in once the birth is complete and I’m covered, out of the respect of our culture, but I definitely would love support during that time. My budget.. well I’m struggling with medical bills and legal fees and no job so I am looking for free doulas in this difficult time, or would hope my doula takes my insurance for billing - I have anthem blue cross blue shield ppo/epo plan, if that’s something she takes. My birth plan is natural but if it gets overwhelmingly difficult then c section. I am thinking epidural (maybe?) but I really dont want to give birth on my back..main goal- no episiotomy unless absolutely necessary, next main goal- avoid tearing .. heard wet rags help with elasticity, and would advocate no men and minimal resident learning on me as I don’t want to be a guinea pig and have them examine my cervix every few. If you can come to Elmhurst hospital - on Jan 27, I’d love to connect !

We live in a 1-bedroom apartment in NYC, and my mom will be staying with us for the first month to help with the baby, including some overnight support.

Hi, We are a family of four, soon to be five. We are looking for postpartum doula support to help us navigate the transition during July and potentially through mid-August. Our baby is due at the end of May, and we would ideally be looking for support starting at the end of June. I breastfed both of my children until they were around 15 months old, and we previously worked with a postpartum doula whom we had a wonderful experience with. She supported us by cooking nutritious meals, helping with light housekeeping, providing massages to support recovery, and caring for the baby so I could rest and have some personal time.

Hi - I spoke with my insurance Cigna and they confirmed I have 60 days per calendar year with 16 hours per day during this time for a postpartum home health care for me and my newborn. No prior authorization is required. They didn't call it a doula but they called it a PP home health care. They couldn't give me a list of eligible providers, I kept getting either a list of home health care providers (which included nursing homes or Lenox Hill Radiology) or OBGYNs. I would like to connect and discuss how we can work together.
