’m looking for a night doula and received your information through the UHC network. My partner and I are located in the Civic Center area, 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.
