Hospital birth $700 budget Normal delivery with epidural

Hi! We are in Orefield Pa (near Fogelsville). We are due May 24th with our 3rd baby. We have a 4 and 2 year old boy. We are looking for what I suppose is called a “sibling doula” that could provide care for our boys on an on-call basis when my wife goes into labor. We have family coming up from Maryland to watch them but it will of course take some time between when my wife goes to the hospital to when they can arrive. Is this a service you can provide? Thank you! -Tim and Virginia Hahn.
