Mary and Jen are both passionate about Doula work in Ireland. We envision DoulaCare Ireland as a professional support organisation for the doulas who accept contracts with our clients as Independent Contractors. We bring years of experience in the birth/baby world to DoulaCare Ireland and look forward to supporting and mentoring you on your doula path.
Many doulas are passionate about working with women and their families but perhaps their individual business does not bring in enough clients to sustain their family life. At DoulaCare Ireland, Mary and Jen are committed to actively promoting our doula services on various social media platforms throughout Ireland as well as via the media, our newsletter and face to face at fairs across the country. This means we have many contracts to offer out to the wider doula community. We want to support your doula business and ensure women and families across the country get the nurturing support and empowering information they deserve to have a positive experience. We look forward to working with many independent contractors and all the knowledge their individual businesses bring to our clients.
You do not need to have a huge business or lots of experience as a doula to put yourself forward for contracts with us - we will provide support and mentoring to you as you are matched with clients. Our aim is to work together to grow the doula profession in Ireland and to ensure families get the support they deserve. We are interested in people who are both birth AND postpartum doulas and who are looking to become Certified doulas in the long term.
“Let us find the clients, and allow you to do the work you love.”
— DoulaCare Ireland
DoulaCare Ireland offer any doulas we represent the opportunity for complementory mentoring support.
We will be there to filter information, offer encouragement and answer any concerns that arise.
DoulaCare Ireland will host CPD days throughout the year. We will also make sure you have a back up doula to support you so that you can take breaks if needed without it being stressful. One of the downsides to working alone is finding it difficult to schedule time off for important events. With DoulaCare Ireland this is one thing you don’t have to worry about as we will endeavour to put you in touch with back up structures for every client you attend.
DoulaCare Ireland will not just be for doulas however. We are hoping to build up a network of professional services throughout Ireland that offer support to women either during their pregnancy, birth and the post partum period. So do contact us if you feel you would have something to offer and would be interested in being part of an agency model.
Jen and Mary are both widely known and respected in the Doula community in Ireland and have fantastic relationships with the wider birth community. They both are knowledgeable, passionate and caring and are so excited to share this experience with you. They will encourage you every step of the way, helping you and your business to grow. We want to see doulas succeed and be able to make a living for themselves and their families.
