Find Postpartum Doula Jobs Near Berkeley, CA

We plan to give birth at Kaiser Oakland hospital, and we are interested in finding a doula who accepts Kaiser insurance. We are interested in a birth with minimal medication. We are a queer couple (cis woman and trans woman), and would love to work with someone who wants to support queer families.

I’m looking for medical and emotional/spiritual support before and during birth, and support with feeding and just general questions post-birth. I would prefer an at-home birth but I am open to a birthing center. I am 37 and will be 38 at the time of birth and I’ll be a first-time mother. I plan on not using any drugs and I would prefer a tub birth with some candles and Enya and as chill as possible. My budget is pretty much nothing as I’m a returning college student. I have medí-cal so I’m hoping all of my services are covered my that. Thank you for your help!

birth and post partum doula who is in network with kaiser

Hello, MY name is Barbara Sanders (415) 515-6628 bjsanders413@gmail.com I just learned that Kaiser covers 10 1-hour sessions with a doula, so I am looking for a doula who is covered by Kaiser. I am having a c section on October 15, 2025 and would like all doula services focused around lactation and baby bonding support ASAP postpartum. My 1st child had a lip and tongue tie and was 5.5lbs so would fall asleep as soon as he latched. Breastfeeding was very emotional and stressful, ultimately I ended up exclusively pumping. I am hopeful for a successful and bonding breastfeeding experience for this baby. -I will be giving birth at Oakland Kaiser -Budget is Kaiser coverage -Birth plan is a scheduled c section as 12:30pm on October 15, 2025. Thank you

Plan to give birth in Berkeley at Alta Bates. I'm looking for a postpartum doula who can be insured under Cigna's home health care.

The role will focus on newborn care, maternal healing, and practical household help during the early recovery period. Would love someone flexible or open to a mix of daytime or overnight shifts (to be decided based on recovery and family needs), with approximately 2/3 days per week for 6 weeks.

Hello, I am giving birth at Kaiser Oakland - I'd ideally like to find a doula who takes Kaiser. I'm doing Centering Pregnancy through Kaiser, as well as taking the Kaiser classes for birth, newborn care and breastfeeding, so I don't feel like I'm going in completely blind, but it's my first pregnancy so there's a lot my partner and I just don't know. I'm hoping to find a balance of prenatal/birth education support, during birth support and postpartum and breastfeeding support. Thanks!

Hi! I am 15 weeks pregnant, due 1/4/26 with my first child. I will give birth at John Muir in Walnut Creek, CA. I have Anthem health insurance and I believe doula services are fully covered, but can also budget for anything not covered (eg, sleep coaching?) I do not have a solid birth plan yet, and would love any tips/resources with creating one.

Hello My name is Cécile, and my husband Tim and I are expecting our first baby, a boy, in early January 2026. We are currently searching for a postpartum doula to support our family during the first two months after our son's arrival. Our primary need is for compassionate postpartum care, including both day and potentially some overnight visits to sleep support, to help us navigate this new chapter as we will be on our own until my mother comes to stay with us for a couple months. We have a Kaiser HMO plan and are specifically interested in using the doula services covered by the insurance's package. We are also interested in supplementing/ extending our support beyond the covered services for the right fit and our ideal support package. We would love to learn more about your services and your availability for January and February 2026. Our location is Oakland Lake Merritt. Please let us know if you are accepting new clients for this area. If so, maybe we can set up a brief meeting to see if we are a good match Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Cécile and Tim
