Find Postpartum Doula Jobs in South San Francisco, CA

1. Provider Requirements I am looking for a professional overnight postpartum doula or newborn care specialist. The provider must hold an active doula or newborn care certification from a recognized certifying body (such as DONA, CAPPA, or ProDoula) and have a minimum of two years of professional experience. They must also maintain active CPR/Basic Life Support certification covering infant and pediatric care, carry active professional liability insurance, and be registered with TrustLine (or willing to undergo a comprehensive background check with verifiable references). The provider must be fully up-to-date on all standard vaccinations, including TDAP, MMR, and the seasonal flu vaccine. Preference will be given to providers who are fluent in Mandarin as a second language, and who hold additional credentials in infant feeding support (such as a Certified Lactation Counselor or equivalent experience). 2. Care Recipient Details The care recipient will be our first baby (a newborn). As first-time parents, we are looking for a reliable, nurturing professional to manage typical nighttime care. The baby will require standard newborn care throughout the night, including timed or on-demand feedings, soothing, and diaper changes. 3. Additional Duties The primary focus is overnight infant care and implementing healthy, gentle sleep-shaping habits (focusing on evidence-based soothing rather than rigid sleep training). Additional duties include light, baby-related household tasks directly tied to nighttime operations, specifically washing, sterilizing, and prepping bottles and pump parts so they are entirely ready for the next day. 4. Estimated Budget Our estimated total budget for this postpartum support is $15,000. 5. Insurance and Benefits Provider We do not expect traditional medical insurance to cover this care. Instead, this will be funded and processed via our Carrot Fertility employer-sponsored benefit program. We will require the selected provider or agency to be registered (or willing to register) in the Carrot provider database, and to supply clear, itemized invoices/superbills featuring their formal certification number so we can seamlessly submit them for reimbursement or utilize our Carrot Card."

Hello, My name is Adèle and I’m currently expecting my first child, due August 23. My partner, Lucas, and I live in the Mission in San Francisco and are currently looking for a doula to support us during birth and postpartum period. We are planning a hospital birth through Kaiser at the Redwood City Birth Center, and ideally are looking someone in-network with Kaiser and able to accept Carrot benefits. A little about us: we’re a French/German-American couple in our 30s, and this is our first baby. I tend to be thoughtful and preparation-oriented, and I’m looking for someone calm, grounded, emotionally attuned, and experienced supporting first-time parents. My hope is for a supportive and relatively low-intervention birth experience if medically appropriate, while staying flexible and pragmatic (not too attached to anything). I would love someone who can help us feel informed, supported, and steady throughout labor and the early postpartum transition. If it sounds like we may be a good fit, we'd love to connect and hear more about your approach, availability around my due date, pricing/packages, and experience with Kaiser and Carrot benefits. Warmly, Adèle

Hi Joanna, My Wife and I are expecting our first child soon, with a due date of August 23rd :) We're looking for a Doula for both birthing and postpartum services, ideally who can accept both Kaiser and Carrot benefits - Please let me know if you have availability and can accept either or both our insurance, if so we'd love to connect! Thanks, Lucas

Hi Alla, My husband and I are expecting our first mid-November. We're looking for someone knowledgeable and supportive that can help guide us through this journey. You came recommended from a friend of a friend and would love to chat! All the best, Amy

Hi Joanna, I hope you’re doing well! I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant and starting to look for a doula - my due date is 7/11. I’m insured with Kaiser and have doula benefits, so I wanted to ask if you accept Kaiser insurance? I’d also love to check your availability around my due date, and learn a bit more about your practice.  Looking forward to hearing from you! Olga Bienias 267-670-4229

We are having twins in August and looking for post partum support overnight 4 nights a week.

We are expecting our first baby in San Francisco and are looking for affordable postpartum doula support after birth. We would like someone certified through DONA, ICEA, NHA, CAPPA, or another organization accepted by UnitedHealthcare/Apple benefits, and we need the provider to be able to provide proof of certification and itemized receipts for reimbursement. We are primarily looking for daytime postpartum support, with possible occasional overnight help if affordable. We would like help with newborn care, feeding/lactation support, postpartum recovery support for the mother, soothing/sleep guidance, and general coaching for first-time parents. Helpful additional duties would include light baby-related laundry, bottle/pump-part cleaning, simple meal/snack prep, and light tidying related to baby care. We are not looking for heavy house cleaning. Our goal is to stay within the Apple/UHC doula reimbursement benefit, which appears to cover up to $2,500 per pregnancy. Ideally we are looking for someone around $45–$65/hour, with package pricing or sliding scale if available.

1. Kaiser San Francisco 2.Kaiser covers costs 3. Would like to discuss birth plan with a doula - I currently dont have one Hi! I am looking for a doula for my pregnancy / postpardum journey. I am on the fence about if we will want a doula there for the actual birth but are very interested in any education before / after.

1. I plan to give birth at CPMC Hospital in San Francisco 2. I don’t know how much things cost so interested in learning the pricing of doula services 3. I don’t have a birth plan yet. I would like to work with a Doula to help me on this.

I'm working with the Midwife Clinic at Marin Health and plan to give birth at Marin Health. I'm interested in what is covered with my insurance! I'm most interested in postpartum help (night especially but day would be great too.) I'm also interested in a doula for the birth, if it is partly/mostly covered. I have a 3 year old and live with my son, husband, and bernedoodle in San Francisco.

I am looking for a doula that can support me during birth and postpartum. I am located in Alameda and will likely be giving birth at the San Leandro Kaiser or Oakland Kaiser if I find the right doula. I currently have Kaiser and have confirmed that my insurance does cover doula support. I plan on birthing at the hospital, and I will be using pain medication to support me. I'm mostly looking for advocacy due to a traumatic birth experience at Kaiser Oakland, where they kept trying to push a C-section and tore my water without consent.

Doula certification, CPR certified. 3 month old, need help ~2 days a week with feeding, sleeping during the day and light household chores.
