One Moon Doula Services – Postpartum Doula and NCS Placement Program
If you are accepted to our list, there is a $19/month fee to receive job postings, client introductions, access to backup support, meetings, and workshops. (There is a partial money-back guarantee if you do not end up securing jobs via our placement program.)
If you are an empathetic, people person, who likes knowing your work is making a difference, this work is for you. If you have compassion for people going through big life changes, or know the challenges for parents of tending to a newborn’s constant needs while adjusting to new expectations of themselves and each other, you’ll be a great fit for this opportunity. If you enjoy imparting up-to-date information while still empowering people to make their own decisions based on their own unique circumstances (in other words, you have enough humility to know that you can’t know what’s best for everyone), you’ll be perfect for this work.
Doulas who work with our agency provide postpartum doula support to families with newborns. This involves helping the entire family transition to life with a newborn. It can include newborn care, some sibling care, light housekeeping and organization, errands and meal prep, informational and emotional support for the parents, and tender loving care for the healing and/or adapting birthing person. Mostly it requires tuning in to the needs of the family and responding to their particular situation, with nonjudgmental support. This could be a great fit for someone with an early education background or anyone in the field of health and wellness who is passionate about helping families get off to a strong and healthy start.
The nature of postpartum doula work is unpredictable. While you may have the opportunity to set your own boundaries (number of hours per week, for example, or days vs. overnights) other things are not within your control. You may have one client that is requiring 20 hours a week, for example, but you don’t know whether it will start this week or four weeks from now, because there’s no way to know when the baby will arrive. Partnering with an agency like One Moon Doula Services can help mitigate this unpredictability because of the regular job postings and access to backup support, but the doula should still be reasonably flexible and adaptable to the clients’ needs.
