Overnight care usually begins with a quick check-in to update one another about baby and answer any questions. Then I help everyone settle in for the night. If you’re breastfeeding, I bring baby to you for feeds and handle everything else — burping, diapering, swaddling — so you can return to sleep. If baby is bottle-fed, I may not wake you at all, bringing them back to you in the morning before heading home.

I am only offering Overnight Postpartum Doula services at this time.

My overnight shifts are a minimum of 8 hours, usually from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. We can also customize longer shifts if your family would like extra rest — whatever works best for you.

Although I prefer a minimum of an 8-week contract, I am flexible! I’ve structured my model to support the unpredictable needs of new families. You don’t need to know right now how much postpartum doula care you’ll need. It is possible to create a contract with no set dates or minimums.

Some families need just a few weeks of support, while others continue into months three or four—or longer. I create my schedule weekly, so you can scale care up or down as you settle in with your baby and learn what your family needs.

The cost of overnight doula care is charged hourly at a rate of $55.

Absolutely! Babies rarely just eat and go back to sleep. Most nights, they need more than feeding — burping, diapering, rocking, and comforting, often multiple times. While I’m there I’ll bring your baby to you for nursing and then take over the rest of the care, so you can get right back to sleep while your little one is safely and lovingly cared for.

Yes! To keep my work sustainable, I rest when your baby rests, so I need a bed or a comfortable surface nearby where I can take a short break while staying close to your little one.

Overnight care is an extension of the family’s nighttime parenting and includes all infant care, and maternal and breastfeeding support. Overnight, the postpartum doula's main focus is on the baby and maintaining a peaceful nighttime environment in the home. This means that although I try to take care of washing any bottles or pump parts that are used throughout the night, I do not do any other household chores.

I am willing to travel if we are a good fit! Although I am located in Bellingham, WA, I am happy to provide care in other cities - from Blaine to Seattle and most areas in between.
