In many cities, doula fees start at $800. In others, doula fees are lower. Doulas need to be far more creative about their childcare arrangements than most people. I hope there is an arrangement that works for you!Your doula Anandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616355931173462549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093380192551908353.post-70429230131335992182013-09-01T10:52:57.198-04:002013-09-01T10:52:57.198-04:0080 hours at $10 an hour?!

I've even paid a service $100 to interview people, out of which I found 1! She is awesome, reliable, and very nurturing. I hadn't thought about paying a retainer, not sure I can afford that, but it does seems very fair. Working as a team seems like a good fit for me, and I'll keep trying to make that possible.Nitya Flatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17406351388272541231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093380192551908353.post-89597851969366265902012-10-05T17:40:01.343-04:002012-10-05T17:40:01.343-04:00Thanks, Ananda, this is really helpful to read.
