Sibling Doula Support
A sibling doula is present during labor and birth to offer emotional and informational support for your older child(ren). When you are in labor, the doula can come to your home or meet you at the hospital or birth center to offer support to your older child(ren). The doula can answer questions as they come up, provide distractions when your child(ren) needs to take a break, and offer immediate sibling integration support once the baby is born. A sibling doula is more than just an on-call nanny, she is a trained birth professional who is capable of answering questions with thoughtfulness and responding to situations with great care.
Services offered includes:
- One prenatal visit to become accustomed to your desires for childbirth in relation to your older child(ren), to gather any information relevant to caring for them, to spend time getting to know them, and to offer age-appropriate childbirth preparation. An additional prenatal visit can be arranged (prenatal visits are $100 each).
- 24/7 on-call availability beginning at 36 weeks to care for your older child(ren) during your labor and birth.
- Unlimited phone and text support during regular daytime hours, except during the 24/7 on-call period.
- Basic household tasks relating to your child(ren) during labor and birth, as needed, up to 12 hours. *If support is needed past 12 hours, an additional fee will be added.
The fee for the services described here are $650, $325 as a non-refundable Deposit, due when you choose me as your sibling doula. If you have more than one child, there will be an additional $100 charge for support. the Remaining fee is due at 36 weeks. If sibling doula care during your labor and delivery extends past 12 hours, an additional fee of $40 an hour will be added while I am with your child(ren).
If you think you will need more than 10 hours of service, we can discuss other package options to best support your family.

"Chelsea was instrumental in the birth of my second child in the role of a sibling doula. With no family around and a risk of giving birth early, which I did by 4 weeks, I wanted someone I could rely on to care for my 4-year-old when I went into labor. She was more than I could ask for in this experience."
