Key Differences
Postpartum Doula vs. Nanny
Focus of Care
A nanny primarily focuses on childcare tasks, while a postpartum doula’s care is centered around empowering the parents and strengthening family bonds. From emotional reassurance to practical newborn care tips, I am here to listen, guide, and gently support your recovery.
Length of Service
Postpartum doula care is intentionally designed for the crucial early weeks and months — a time when parents need the most support adjusting to their new life.
Education & Empowerment
Whether you're navigating breastfeeding challenges, learning how to soothe your baby, or establishing feeding routines, I provide evidence-based information tailored to your family’s needs. This guidance helps you trust your instincts as a parent. Nannies typically focus on carrying out tasks rather than providing education.
Mother’s Recovery & Emotional Support
The postpartum journey is not only about the baby — it's also about the mother’s recovery and emotional well-being. I offer a safe space to talk, process emotions, and simply be heard. From preparing nourishing meals to folding laundry or holding your baby while you nap, I am there to care for you as much as your little one.
