After the Stork provides overnight (10PM-6AM) newborn care in the client's home from birth to six months. We are awake through the night helping the new family with infant care and household support.

We are looking for someone who possesses the following:

• The desire to help new parents
• Experience with newborns
• Experience with and a growing knowledge of breastfeeding (we can refer you to excellent resources)
• The desire to increase knowledge in topics relating to newborn babies (breastfeeding, infant development, healthy sleep habits)
• A mature, calming presence that puts a new mom's mind at ease as she leaves her newborn baby in your arms for the night.
• Excellent personal skills so the new mom is able to comfortably relay information regarding her baby's needs.

Essential duties and responsibilities of our postpartum doulas include:

• Encouraging and supporting the new parents
• Helping with the baby, dishes, laundry, nursery set up, and other responsibilities new parents have
• Assisting with breastfeeding (if you have not breastfed your own children, a breastfeeding class would be required)
• Travel to/from client homes in your own vehicle (we try to schedule you with clients close to your home, but sometimes driving 30-40 minutes is required.)
• Getting rest during the day (this job works well for moms of school-aged children because they can sleep while their kids are at school/ summer camp)
