Has anybody heard of a this? It completely fascinates me!
I was reading in a magazine where there are actually trained women to help new mothers out in day-to-day stuff. They are actually there to help new moms out with day-to-day chores like laundry, holding the baby, doing dishes, vacuuming, anything needed. It's not a maid. They are actually trained and certified.
They are typically moms of older children that know exactly what new moms need. Once their own kids are in school they have their days 'free' to help other moms. I read they are in Texas, but wasn't sure if anybody had heard of anything like that around here. It's exactly what I need! It's also something I'd be interested in doing later on in life! I think they are called post-natal doulas.

I can see it being odd, but we don't know anybody out here. I would give almost anything for somebody to help fold the laundry and put it away, or help around the house for those pesky little things that really add up. I guess a lot of people have family near them to help. I wish.

Yes I've heard of them - and have vowed to DH that is we have a 2nd I will be getting one.
I think they are fairly popular in NYC...my doula was also an at-home doula.

Yes I have heard of them they are called baby nurses and they come and stay with the new parents for about 2 weeks they are their 24-7.
Its not for me but to each his own.

I've heard of them, and I think they are very useful if you have the money.
They basically do what ever you need - if you need them to cook, they cook, if you need them to clean, they clean... etc.
I think especially for those that can't get any help from anyone - they are a life saver - again if one can afford them.
