Back up & Shared Care

A new mother in a hospital bed lovingly holds a newborn baby wrapped in a white blanket. The woman has dark hair and a hospital wristband is visible on her arm.

*Having stepped up and agreed to be on call a few times previously, but then plans have changed or baby has arrived before I'm needed to be on call, I now charge a flat rate fee for being engaged. I do this because I take my commitments seriously, I invest time and energy in preparing, making plans.

I value and respect your time and energy in the same way the same manner.

I work openly and honestly. I recognise the efforts of marketing you have put in to your busines to attain this opportunity. I promise to maintain a professional customer-facing approach, I acknowledge that by inviting me to doula alongside you l am representing your services as well as my own. Thank you for considering me.

As a guide, my birth support package is around £2000

The service I like to offer most frequently is overnight hospital support on the postnatal ward. If this is something you would like to offer to your client as part of your package.
