nYn Is Hiring Doulas

nurturing YOU naturally is expanding! At this time, I am looking to create teams of 2-3 doulas on an ongoing basis, starting in Nashville, TN and possibly other markets in the future. Please read through the following to determine if you would be a good fit. This is a great opportunity for someone who doesn’t want to deal with the business/paperwork part of being a doula. We handle all of that for you. This is also a nice opportunity for an up-and-coming doula who would benefit from some guidance as they get started.

If you have any questions about this opportunity, please reach out to us at nurturingYOUnaturally@gmail.com.

You will be expected to:

•  attend complimentary get-to-know-you interviews with prospective clients.
• work with a minimum of 1 client per month or more as your schedule allows.
• serve clients in a home, hospital or birth center setting.
• schedule and conduct 2 prenatal visits, attend the birth, and do a follow up postpartum visit.
• provide backup for other nYn team members.
• be certified or working towards certification.
• adhere to the nYn contract and a code of conduct.
• keep accurate records for each of your clients and maintain confidentiality.
• have reliable childcare and transportation.
• sign an independent contractor agreement with a non-compete clause.

You understand that:

• a doula’s primary role is to support each family and be respectful of their wishes.
• doulas provide un-biased information and education throughout pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.
• doulas do not perform medical tasks.
• doulas do not make decisions for clients.
• working with nYn does not guarantee you clients.
• you will be working as an independent contractor and expected to file your own taxes.

You will receive:

• access to YourDoulaBiz software.
• business cards.
• online and printed marketing materials.
• a nYn T-shirt. 
• prenatal and postpartum meeting guides.
• a team of experienced doulas to call on for support and advice.
• a 1099-MISC tax form for compensation over $600.
• partial reimbursement for continuing education.
• group membership in the local chapter of Birth Network National.

Compensation:

• Birth and postpartum doulas will set their own contracted rates. nYn will deduct a small percentage to cover the services we provide. 
• Backup labor/birth doulas will receive $15 per hour up to a max of $200. This will be deducted from the primary doula’s compensation. 

If this sounds like something you’ve been looking for, please email nurturingYOUnaturally@gmail.com with answers to the following information.

• Name, Address, Email, Phone.
