SIBLING DOULAS

SAFE, QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED. WE'VE GOT YOU.

Northern Virginia and DC Sibling Doula childcare during labor
Birth Happens. As amazing as it is to bring a new sibling into the world, the process may bring about many questions. Many parents ask, should I bring my children to the birth? If I do, who will watch them if things are too intense? Are they allowed to be at the hospital? What will they do? For parents  that decide not to bring siblings to the birth, who will be able to drop what they are doing in order to watch them?

A   Sibling Doula can  be the solution for your family. Many families having a new baby are without  trusted family members living locally or even a babysitter who is willing to be “on call” for an extended time while you have your new baby. Our sibling doulas are available to care for older brothers and sisters while their parents are focused on bringing the new baby into the world.

Whether planning for a home, birth center, or hospital birth, it is much easier for everyone to meet the needs of your older children with one person being solely responsible for them. One of our sibling doulas will come to your home to care for your older children where they are most comfortable. 
Starting a rate of $500, the sibling doula provides:
​
  • A two-hour “get-to-know-you visit” prior to the birth when she spends time with your children so as to become a familiar face. Parents can stay home for this visit or take this time to get some last-minute errands completed.
  • On-call availability starting at sign-up. 
  • Up to 24 hours of continuous care on The Big Day. Any additional hours are billed at the discounted postpartum doula rate of $35  per hour. If you decline the prenatal visit, your doula may be available for up to 26 hours.
​
Our sibling doulas are also able to be present during labor and birth either in your home or at the birth center or hospital. They offer complete emotional support for your older children. Our low price includes an upfront 2 hours of care prenatally in order to get to know your children prior to your birth and provide educational distractions when your child needs to take a break and also offer immediate sibling integration support once your new baby arrives.

Because sometimes birth needs extra hands

"I truly think having our sibling doula being present at our home birth made the difference for us. With everyone focused on me, it was so much more challenging to still provide a safe, comforting environment for my other 'older' babies. Without a doubt, it was a needed investment. At times, it seemed as if my children were more eager to spend time with our  sibling doula than participating in the birth itself!" --- E.K., Homebirth Client
