Find Postpartum Doula Jobs Near Berkeley, CA

We plan to give birth at Walnut Creek Kaiser. We are hoping to find a doula who takes Kaiser insurance. We have not yet developed a birth plan.

We are expecting our first baby in San Francisco and are looking for affordable postpartum doula support after birth. We would like someone certified through DONA, ICEA, NHA, CAPPA, or another organization accepted by UnitedHealthcare/Apple benefits, and we need the provider to be able to provide proof of certification and itemized receipts for reimbursement. We are primarily looking for daytime postpartum support, with possible occasional overnight help if affordable. We would like help with newborn care, feeding/lactation support, postpartum recovery support for the mother, soothing/sleep guidance, and general coaching for first-time parents. Helpful additional duties would include light baby-related laundry, bottle/pump-part cleaning, simple meal/snack prep, and light tidying related to baby care. We are not looking for heavy house cleaning. Our goal is to stay within the Apple/UHC doula reimbursement benefit, which appears to cover up to $2,500 per pregnancy. Ideally we are looking for someone around $45–$65/hour, with package pricing or sliding scale if available.

Hello Allison, I hope this finds you well. This is my first pregnancy. I am in need of a doula to guide myself and my husband, Shaheen, through the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period (including breastfeeding). We are hoping you can provide us with specific, actionable ways for Shaheen to support me during pregnancy, especially during labor, and during the postpartum period. I hope to labor at home as long as possible, avoid the epidural if possible, and I really would like to avoid a C-section. I am eager to learn about natural birthing techniques and positions that work with my body and gravity. Finally, my husband and I are Catholic, so we would appreciate a doula who is comfortable with prayer. Thank you for your time. Cheers, Elise 925-352-1942

Having twins and looking for night support to help get them on a sleeping schedule

Excited for this journey! I am giving birth at Kaiser Redwood City. Ideally I am looking for those who have worked with Kaiser insurance as I have doula coverage (I was referred to Kristin Guess). Birthplan is quite standard: prioritize non medical interventions, epidural, no IV pain meds, skin to skin, delayed cord clamping, preemptive nausea control, dim lights, breast feeding, delayed bath. Likely circumcision care. Requirements of provider: Certified, evidence based guidance (though not in OBGYN, my husband and I work in healthcare). I plan to hire a post partum nanny for the first 2 months following birth, however, would love additional support as an additional perspective. Also month 3 would be great for additional support (sleep training, lactation consulting, etc). Budget is flexible but would like to prioritize Kaiser Doula coverage first.

Hospital birth Support during and after pregnancy

1. Provider Requirements I am looking for a professional overnight postpartum doula or newborn care specialist. The provider must hold an active doula or newborn care certification from a recognized certifying body (such as DONA, CAPPA, or ProDoula) and have a minimum of two years of professional experience. They must also maintain active CPR/Basic Life Support certification covering infant and pediatric care, carry active professional liability insurance, and be registered with TrustLine (or willing to undergo a comprehensive background check with verifiable references). The provider must be fully up-to-date on all standard vaccinations, including TDAP, MMR, and the seasonal flu vaccine. Preference will be given to providers who are fluent in Mandarin as a second language, and who hold additional credentials in infant feeding support (such as a Certified Lactation Counselor or equivalent experience). 2. Care Recipient Details The care recipient will be our first baby (a newborn). As first-time parents, we are looking for a reliable, nurturing professional to manage typical nighttime care. The baby will require standard newborn care throughout the night, including timed or on-demand feedings, soothing, and diaper changes. 3. Additional Duties The primary focus is overnight infant care and implementing healthy, gentle sleep-shaping habits (focusing on evidence-based soothing rather than rigid sleep training). Additional duties include light, baby-related household tasks directly tied to nighttime operations, specifically washing, sterilizing, and prepping bottles and pump parts so they are entirely ready for the next day. 4. Estimated Budget Our estimated total budget for this postpartum support is $15,000. 5. Insurance and Benefits Provider We do not expect traditional medical insurance to cover this care. Instead, this will be funded and processed via our Carrot Fertility employer-sponsored benefit program. We will require the selected provider or agency to be registered (or willing to register) in the Carrot provider database, and to supply clear, itemized invoices/superbills featuring their formal certification number so we can seamlessly submit them for reimbursement or utilize our Carrot Card."
