PostPartum Doula Service / Mother's Helper / Babycare

About

Hi there! Are you a new mom/dad/grandparent/family? Or expecting a new addition to the family? First off, mazal tov! :) I am an experienced postpartum doula, originally from Canada. In this role, I have worked with a number of families in transitioning into life with a new baby. What is a postpartum doula?

This may also include some help with things like laundry, groceries, and accompaniment to postpartum appointments.

I have been in Israel for 3 years now and speak Hebrew fluently, but English is my first language:) I currently live in Florentin.
