Find Doula Jobs in Newark, CA

I live in Hollister, but I will be giving birth at Kaiser in San Jose, CA, and I’m looking for a supportive, trauma-informed doula for both birth and postpartum care. I would love someone familiar Latina postpartum traditions (preferred), such as rebozo support, gentle bone closing/cerrada de cadera, emotional support, and holistic healing practices, and lacataion support. I’m hoping for someone warm, calming, and nonjudgmental who can support both me and my partner through labor, recovery, breastfeeding, and postpartum mental health. I’m especially interested in postpartum support that helps me feel grounded, safe, and cared for after birth. I have Kaiser and would prefer someone in-network.

I plan to give birth in a hospital. I hope to have a natural unmediated birth with my partner and mother there with me. I don’t want any vaccines or anything given to baby once delivered either.

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

Planning to give birth in a hospital. This is my fourth pregnancy and would really love to try for a VBAC which is why I'm attempting to connect with a Doula. I do not have a budget. I am covered by TRICARE Prime.

Second baby, attempting vbac. Didn't have a doula with my first birth. Ended up being induced due to heart rate decelerations, labour progressed well but babe was struggling with contractions so moved to c section. I really felt like I missed out on a physiological birth, and I've been told by my OB that I'm likely a good candidate for a vbac. Currently 33 weeks, IVF pregnancy.

looking for a birth doula to give birth with me

Twin girls with scheduled C-Section at 37 weeks due around 10/20/26 (always a possibility that they may debut earlier). We (my husband and I) are looking for a night doula to help with night feedings/care for 4-5 nights/week for the first 8 weeks the girls are home (possibly will extend longer than 8 weeks). We have a 4 year old son as well, who is in preschool from 9-5:30pm 5 days per week, and my mother (who is a retired nicu nurse and lactation consultant) will likely be staying with us for at least a week or two to help during the day. I do not plan to exclusively breastfeed, and the girls will be getting primarily formula (and/or pumped milk) at night. Our house has the ideal set up, with the bedrooms all located in the back of the house (can be closed off with pocket door), leaving the whole front of the house (kitchen, laundry room, living room/tv room x2, private bathroom x2, and office/den which can be closed off) for the doula and the girls at night (plan to set up bassinets with changing table). We live in Walnut Creek, around 2 miles from downtown, up in the hills past the Bart Station in an area called “secluded valley” (which is right on the border of WC and lafayette, with most of our HOA and neighboring streets technically being in Lafayette). Price wise, we were hoping to keep the total cost around $2,000-2,500 per week (for 4-5 nights/week, shifts 8-10 hours/night, for at least 8 weeks immediately after birth), which is where the flexibility comes in the number of nights and shift length. Basically trying to keep our sanity, and allocate time for everyone to get much needed sleep when the girls arrive home. I will also be recovering from c-section during this time, and will need the extra rest.

’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.

Hello, I am looking into options for birth and postpartum doula support (I am supposed to have some coverage through Kaiser) for my second birth. Kaori

looking for doula for a home birth. we don't have a birth plan yet.

We are still determining the exact level of support we are looking for. We plan to give birth in a hospital in San Francisco. Our primary search is for post-birth overnight support, which would include support for the mom and care for the baby, including feeding, settling, changing, and any associated cleaning. It is important to us to get detailed updates on how the baby did overnight. We want to make sure that the person providing the support fits well into our home. We would expect we need this support 4-5 nights per week for 10-16 weeks, and would seek to get support on sleep conditioning over that period of time. We are also evaluating if a birth doula is something that we want but have not yet decided on that.

First baby, giving birth at UCSF Mission Bay in San Francisco. Looking for a birth doula to support my partner and I. Hoping to have an unmediated birth but very open to that changing depending on the circumstances. I live in the South West of SF. My husband needs to double check his work’s doula benefit so I’m not sure on our budget, happy to pay some out of pocket, but we’d like to pre-pay for our doula service, ideally in the next couple of weeks.
