“To say she’s a helper doesn’t come close to describing her value.” -Kristin Carleton
How we work with you
|
Before your baby’s born, you and I meet. That way, you can learn more about me and what I do, while I learn more about you, your needs and your expectations.
When you decide to hire me or a member of my team (depending on availability), there’s an $800 retainer which covers the first 20 hours with your family during your first two weeks, plus visits with you before your baby’s born, while one of my team members is with you, and after you no longer need a doula’s help. (See specifics below.) If you don’t decide until your baby’s born, and we have an opening, there’s no retainer and you pay by the hour. Either way, there’s one contract, one weekly bill on Sundays, and a choice of hours to meet your family’s needs. What it costs |
