Birth Doula

Nashville, Tennessee

About Us:

The United States has the poorest maternal and birth outcomes of all developed countries with the underserved, Black, Brown, Indigenous communities disproportionately affected. Nadia Care is working to drastically change the experience of affected communities by reimagining how we deliver meaningful and compassionate care to expectant moms.

Nadia Care’s mission is to improve pregnancy, birth and the postpartum journey for women and their families by reimagining how maternity care is delivered. Our team is focused on building trust-based engagement and wrap-around support for expectant moms at home, in person and virtually to ensure they have all the social support they need for a successful and joyful pregnancy journey. We help our members with care navigation, doula support, assistance with lactation, nutrition, housing, transportation and a wide range of other needs. We leverage technology to support our virtual engagement that allows us to meet all our moms where they are.

We ensure that our members have trusted sources for support, resources, and information throughout their pregnancy, delivery and well into postpartum. Nadia Care does not replace the primary obstetrician or doctor’s relationships. Instead, we support expectant mothers with all other health-related social needs not typically available through their doctors’ offices. 

Our Values:

  • Empathy is at the heart of everything we do. We must always center the experiences of the mothers and families we serve, as well as support and uplift one another.
  • Collaboration is what makes us stronger. We achieve the greatest impact when we work together, share knowledge, and elevate each other’s strengths.
  • Resilience reflects our ability to push through challenges, adapt in a fast-changing environment, and remain committed to our mission no matter the obstacles.

The Role:

We are looking for a certified Birth Doula to be a trusted partner and advocate for expectant mothers in the Memphis area. The birth doula will lead two prenatal visits with moms and support them through active labor.

This role is for someone who is passionate about making a difference, who believes that every woman deserves the best care, regardless of background or circumstances. 

This role would support our members in the greater Nashville area.

  • Strong communicator who can provide guidance with compassion and cultural sensitivity and inspire trust with clients, families, and medical providers – virtually and in-person
  • Strong problem solving and organizational skills to manage multiple clients at one time
  • Comfortable learning new communication and telehealth platforms and EHR documentation systems
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and compliance with state inspection, registration, and insurance requirements
  • Access to home internet and a phone with internet access

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Adult & Infant CPR & First Aid certification

Benefits of Contracting with with us:

  • Skip payment headaches: We manage the billing process for you and contracts directly with insurers.  
  • Set your schedule: Choose the hours and number of clients that work best for you.  
  • Help even more families: We find the members and seamlessly connects you with them. 
  • Feel the power of a team behind you: Our Maternity Navigators develop deep relationships with our members in their first and second trimester, monitoring their health and connecting them with community resources for a healthy pregnancy. You’ll receive a summary of the member’s pregnancy experience to date before your first visit. If any clinical issues arise, we also have RNs on staff, ready to help!

This contractor role pays between $700-$725 per client, which will consist of two prenatal visits and birth support. Exact compensation will depend on number of births and overall doula experience.
