Find Doula Jobs in Cos Cob, CT

Hi ! My name is Nadia. I'm expecting my first baby on December 19th and I'm looking for a birth doula. We live in Easton and I'll be delivering at Yale New Haven's Bridgeport campus, with Women's Obstetrics & Gynecology in Trumbull. What I'm hoping for: a medicated hospital birth. I'm not trying for an unmedicated delivery and I'd rather not be talked into one— I want someone who is fully on board with an epidural and will help me get the best version of that experience rather than treat it as a fallback. Some context on where my pregnancy stands, because it shapes what I need: I'm 35, I have PCOS with insulin resistance, and my glucose screening is still ahead of me. At my anatomy scan we learned the umbilical cord attaches near the edge of the placenta rather than the center (marginal cord insertion, 1.8 cm). Because of that I'm on serial growth scans. At my most recent one, at 24w6d, the baby's estimated weight had dropped from the 52nd percentile to the 18th, with her abdominal measurement falling further than the rest. Fluid is normal and she doesn't meet criteria for growth restriction, but we're watching the trend closely and I'm pushing for shorter intervals between scans. What that means practically is that there's a real chance of a smaller baby, a possible early delivery, and more monitoring and decision points than a typical labor. I'd like someone who is comfortable in that environment. What I'm looking for in a doula: Someone who can help me keep track of what's happening medically and translate it in the moment so I understand what I'm agreeing to when decisions come quickly and advocate for me in real time where I might be physically/emotionally compromised. Help with labor positions, including after an epidural. If the baby ends up in a difficult position I'd love someone with Spinning Babies training or similar. My two biggest fears, honestly: First, being separated from my baby after delivery. Given the growth situation there's a chance she needs extra observation, and the thought of her being taken somewhere I want to avoid at all costs. I want help protecting skin-to-skin and the first hour wherever it's medically possible, and I want someone who knows how to ask the right questions and push back (within reason) if a separation is proposed. Second, the epidural not working or only working on one side. I want someone who can help me cope if there's a gap and who will keep pressing for anesthesia to come back and fix it rather than letting it ride. A few practical questions: Do you have experience specifically at Bridgeport Yale? What's your backup arrangement if you're at another birth when I go into labor, and have I met that person? Do you offer any postpartum hours, and are you available for December? My husband and I would love to talk. Thank you for reading all of this!

We are expecting our first baby this fall and are looking for an experienced, warm, and reliable newborn care provider to support our family in Manhattan during the early postpartum period. We do not have family nearby who will be able to provide regular hands-on help, so we are hoping to find someone who can help us feel more supported and confident as first-time parents. We are especially interested in someone with significant newborn and infant experience, ideally at least 3–5 years. Infant CPR/First Aid certification is strongly preferred, and experience or training as a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, baby nurse, or similar provider would be a plus. We do not require a second language. The primary responsibility will be helping care for our newborn, including feeding support, diapering, soothing, burping, bottle preparation and cleaning, and helping us establish healthy, age-appropriate sleep habits. If I am breastfeeding or pumping, we would also appreciate someone who is comfortable supporting those routines and coordinating bottles or feeds as needed. We are not looking for strict sleep training with a very young newborn, but we would value someone knowledgeable about newborn sleep who can help us gradually establish good routines. We would also appreciate light baby-related household help during downtime, such as washing bottles and pump parts, baby laundry, tidying the nursery and baby areas, restocking changing supplies, and occasionally preparing a simple meal or snack for me. We are not looking for a full housekeeper. One parent will be home, and my husband will generally be working, including working from home some days, so we are looking for someone who is comfortable working alongside us rather than providing completely independent childcare. We would especially value someone who is willing to teach and guide us rather than simply taking over baby care. Our target budget is approximately $30 per hour, although we are open to discussing the rate depending on experience, certifications, schedule, and responsibilities. We are also open to discussing a schedule that gives us the most useful support within our budget, such as several daytime shifts per week or targeted postpartum support during the first few weeks.
