About The Position

Nadia Care is seeking a certified, bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking Birth Doula to serve as a trusted partner and advocate for expectant mothers in the greater Memphis area. The role involves building connections with clients during two virtual prenatal visits, educating them about labor positions, birth plans, and what to expect during labor and delivery, and supporting them through active labor. The doula communicates with Nadia Care’s care team to escalate clinical issues and social needs as needed and maintains clear, accurate documentation of care interactions.

This is a contract opportunity supporting 1 to 4 births per month, with the potential to increase if desired. Contractors set their own schedule for the two prenatal visits and choose the hours and number of clients they take. Compensation is $700–$725 per client for two prenatal visits and birth support, with exact compensation depending on the number of births and the doula’s experience. Nadia Care handles billing and connects contractors with members. Its Maternity Navigators share a summary of each member’s pregnancy experience before the first visit, and registered nurses are available if clinical issues arise.
