Professional postpartum doula services for families in Northern Virginia.
Over our 10 years of caring for DC area families (yes, including Maryland and DC), we have cared for families in Northern Virginia neighborhoods such as Arlington, Alexandria, and McLean.
Our Northern Virginia clients seek our postpartum doula care support — during the day and overnight — to build their confidence caring for their baby. We know the parental leave clock is ticking and your time at home with your baby is precious. We want to help you focus on savoring that time, building your confidence, and healing from birth. Our postpartum doulas visit your home, on your schedule to provide skilled, professional support.
Daytime Postpartum Doulas
Regardless of where you choose to birth in our tightly knit “DMV” community, having a postpartum doula by your side in the first days and weeks with baby is your key to a smooth transition as a family.
Hiring one of our Northern Virginia-based postpartum doulas for daytime care means you have the professional expertise you need, right by your side, as you learn to care for your new baby. You will also learn handy skills, like wearing your baby, so you can feel confident stepping outside and enjoying walks with your family through Great Falls or George Washington’s home at Mt. Vernon.
Overnight Newborn Care & Night Nanny
Parenting a newborn is unlike any other experience. Even if you are used to pulling all-nighters with an older baby or riding the early morning Amtrak into DC, you may find you need an extra pair of hands with your new baby.
Having overnight postpartum care ensures you and your partner get the rest you need to be prepared for the next day, when the cycle of feeding, soothing, and diapers begins anew.
Our Northern Virginia clients appreciate resting easy while their newborn is in trusted, experienced hands just down the hall.
Newborn Care Classes
Feel confident from the start with our newborn care classes for expectant parents. You know having a baby will be challenging and that Metropolitan Doulas is one call away.
Preparing for Baby and Feeding is a unique course written and taught by our experts. We come to your home here in NOVA and tailor our curriculum for your family, answering any questions you have along the way. We can also take a look at your space and offer tips for fitting a baby and all their gear into your home.
