Sibling Doula Care
Reliable on-call childcare that you can trust.
What is a sibling doula?
A sibling doula is a trained professional who specializes in providing support & care to children during the birth of a sibling. Their role is to help prepare the child emotionally & practically for the arrival of the new baby. Sibling doulas engage children in age-appropriate activities, answer their questions about childbirth, & reassure them throughout the process. They may also accompany siblings to the hospital or birth center, ensuring they feel included & supported during this significant family event. By offering understanding & guidance, sibling doulas aim to foster a positive experience for older children as they welcome a new sibling into the family.
Why Mama Lotus?
As a sibling doula, I bring a unique blend of professional experience & educational background tailored to support families when welcoming a new baby. With over a decade as a trusted nanny, I have honed my skills in nurturing & caring for children of various ages, understanding their developmental needs, & fostering positive sibling relationships.
Holding a bachelor's degree in child development further enriches my ability to provide informed & supportive care, drawing on evidence-based practices to promote healthy sibling interactions & emotional well-being. Additionally, my experience as a parent adds a personal perspective, deepening my empathy & understanding of the dynamics of growing families.
I am dedicated to ensuring each child feels valued & supported during this exciting yet challenging time of adjusting to a new family dynamic. My role as a sibling doula is grounded in compassion, expertise, & a commitment to empowering families as they navigate this transformative journey.
