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.

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 birth plan is natural but if it gets overwhelmingly difficult then c section.
