How I Can Help: Doula and Caregiving Services
|
Support can start immediately if you're in the thick of things and need help ASAP, or can start around your due date. The types of support I offer is listed below:
|
Before Baby: Prenatal Planning
|
|
After Baby: Postpartum Support
In-person
|
|
- Family member adjustment: for siblings or other family members that need support adjusting to their new roles.
- Educating and modelling: using an evidence-based approach, I can help to educate and model techniques for parents and family members.
- ... and so much more!
- A welcome package that include our service agreement and confidentiality agreement, helpful information, resources, and local businesses and professionals that can also help in the postpartum period
- Investment: $40/hour during the day, $45/hour for overnights (between hours of 9pm-7am)
Virtual/Phone
While in-person support has many proven benefits, virtual support is an accessible way for me to offer support to parents who may be out of my service range, only need support for a short amount of time, need a couple check-ins, or simply prefer a virtual setting.
Virtual support is offered at a reduced rate.

Postpartum Check-InA postpartum check-in with me is an opportunity to ask questions or discuss any concerns. I provide a neutral, safe space for parents to do this. The postpartum check-in can be really beneficial for parents who are hearing or reading conflicting information or aren't feeling quite right at a given time.
Postpartum check-ins can be completed in-person or virtually.

Babysitting and Childminding*
|
Are you and your partner itching to reconnect or take a break from your busy family lives? Maybe you have an appointment you need to attend and your usual childcare option fell through! Fear not: I happily offer babysitting and childminding services to families who need a few hours to get away!
As a trained doula and experienced mother (of human and fur babies), I understand and appreciate the need for an experienced caregiver to look after children in such situations. Taking time for yourselves should never be something you worry or feel guilty about. Let me help you do what you need to do! |
*Note: this service is only being offered to current and previous clients.
|
- Investment: $20-40/hour (varies based on number of children and hours requested for help).
- I am okay with all kinds of animals! I have 2 cats and used to have a beautiful corn snake. And I've been known to steal dog's hearts. ;)
- Can offer references, police background check, and vulnerable sector check upon request.
Please note:
*I charge travel fee after 25kms. We can discuss this when we meet!
*Potential clients must put down a $300 retainer to hold their space in Krista's calendar. This retainer is non-refundable and is applied to support hours listed in the contract.
