Find Doula Jobs in East Lansing, MI

I’m giving birth at Sparrow Hospital and I’m looking for a doula who accepts McLaren Medicaid. Since this is my first child, I don’t have a set birth plan yet. I need someone present at birth and for postpartum care, and perhaps some night care with light household duties. I looking for someone is has been actively consistency in this business with over two years of experience.

I would like to have an at home water birth with this being our first child. We are not sure what our estimated budget will be. Also would like to know the medical procedure and process if anything were to happen. Want to avoid doing any epidural or having to go to the hospital for birthing.

This is my first birth and we are giving birth away from home (our families are in Chicago) so I’m looking for extra support and guidance. We will be giving birth at Sparrow hospital. My goals are to avoid C-section (if possible), avoid any invasive tools or unnecessary procedures and avoid epidural (if possible). I’m open to someone with less experience and I am unsure on a budget at this time.

We plan to give birth at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Unsure about budget. Unsure about birth plan. We are so new to this.

I have a hospital birth plan, I don’t really have a budget I also have insurance. My hospital birth plan included the following - [ ] Natural(NO C SECTION UNLESS AN EMERGENCY) - [ ] No epidural/ potcin - [ ] Tub birth - [ ] Hospital birth - [ ] Delayed IV (better mobility) - [ ] No baby monitors unless I feel needed. I’m the mom i will know if something’s wrong with my baby - [ ] Delayed cord cutting (dad cuts cord after placenta is out - [ ] No VACCINES - [ ] We will do the first bath - [ ] NO ONE LEAVES THE ROOM WITH THE BABY - [ ] Immediate skin to skin - [ ] Natural water break - [ ] NO CERVIX CHECKS(except first) - [ ] Delay going to the hospital until contractions are too close - [ ] Birthing ball (maybe peanut ball - [ ] I want maternity gown(no hospital one) - [ ] I don’t want them to wipe a baby all the way. I require any provider who works with me during my birth and pregnancy to have a minimum of 2 years experience. And understand that all women’s body’s are different. I have chronic illnesses and my pregnancy and a bit different from others. Especially when it comes to what I can do and what it has done to my body. I want a licensed midwife. That is non negotiable. I only speak English so there is no need for another language or any translation. I do have a processing disorder and tend not to understand if people speak to fast so someone with patience and the ability to see you as someone giving life to the world not just another pay check. I expect my birth doulas to not push personal preferences onto me seeings as how I have a specific goal and plan in mind. Asking questions and figuring out any loose ends is different but a no is a no. That goes for anyone who works with me. For a night nanny, the responsibility’s would be, laundry, dishes, light cleaning. I will be Breast feeding so i will have a frozen stash. If I am up I will use my Breast and store the rest. Apart of the night nanny job will be preparing meal preps once or twice a week. That includes, dinners for the week. Which you can either do all together or cut in half and do half the week at a time. It will also include snack prepping. I cannot have 3 full meals a day and often are required to snack and I need to be able to go to the fridge or cab it’s and have Tupperware with already made snack options. Here’s an example Fridge: Tupperware organizer with, Apple and peanut butter, with a sour candy and cheese slices Pantry: trail mix, dried fruit, mini chocolate. As you can see I have a bit of a sweet tooth lol. Our night nanny’s are required to have all CPR, First aid and child care certificates needed. Along with being the minimum age of 21. All food in the house will be open to you. We don’t expect you to haul in your own food when working at night of all things.
