What is a virtual doula?

A Virtual Doula provides remote support to expecting and new parents through video calls, phone, text, and online resources. They offer emotional support, evidence-based information, and guidance on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. While they don't provide hands-on assistance, they help families make informed decisions, prepare for labor, and navigate postpartum challenges. Virtual doulas can also offer childbirth education, breastfeeding support, and coping techniques tailored to each family's needs.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a virtual doula?

A Virtual Doula should possess extensive knowledge of childbirth education, prenatal care, and postpartum support, commonly supported by doula certification from recognized organizations. Familiarity with telehealth platforms, secure messaging apps, and online scheduling tools is important for remote client interactions. Outstanding active listening, emotional intelligence, and reassuring communication help build trust and support families virtually. These skills are critical for offering effective, compassionate support to families during the childbirth journey, even without being physically present.

What are common challenges faced by virtual doulas, and how can they overcome them?

Virtual Doulas often encounter challenges such as building rapport with clients remotely, navigating varying technology comfort levels among families, and providing effective support without hands-on presence. Success in the role often comes from being proactive in communication, using multiple channels (video, phone, messaging) tailored to clients' needs, and having strong organizational skills for follow-up. It also helps to create comprehensive resource lists and offer virtual demonstrations or guided exercises to provide tangible assistance. Staying adaptable and continually updating knowledge about virtual care tools makes it easier to offer responsive and reassuring support when families need it most.

Is a virtual doula worth it?

A virtual doula provides remote support for pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care, offering guidance on comfort measures, emotional support, and education through video calls and messaging. While it can be a cost-effective and flexible option, the level of personalized support may vary compared to in-person services, and some clients value the physical presence during labor and postpartum recovery. The effectiveness depends on individual needs and the doula's experience and communication skills.

Job description

We're building a network of experienced birth and full-spectrum doulas to educate and guide expecting and new families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

Pomelo Care will provide services to support your independent practice, such as client matching, billing, and administrative support.
As part of the Pomelo network, you will:
  • Educate and guide expecting and new families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.
  • Play a vital role in improving birth outcomes by ensuring that families feel supported and empowered during this transformative time.
  • Maintain timely and accurate documentation for visits and birth support.
  • Follow applicable documentation, privacy, quality, and compliance standards for services conducted through Pomelo.
To join Pomelo's growing network, you are/have:
  • You have completed certification and training as a birth and/or full-spectrum doula.
  • You have experience working as a doula with an in-depth understanding of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery.
  • You have strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to connect with families from diverse backgrounds both virtually and in-person.
  • You're comfortable using telehealth platforms, video conferencing tools, and electronic documentation systems.
  • You have availability for virtual and in-person work, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate the needs of families.
  • You are located in or able to serve one of our core service areas: Orange, Suffolk and Westchester county in New York.
Credentialing process & next steps:
Once you apply, our team will guide you through the credentialing process, which includes:
  • Meeting with someone from our recruitment team for a 30-minute video call.
  • Providing proof/verification of doula certification, NPI number, and Adult & Infant CPR/First Aid certification.
  • Providing proof of Medicaid ID.
  • Providing verification of personal liability insurance.
  • Completing a background screening.
Support for your doula practice:
By joining Pomelo, we will provide the support you need to focus on what you do best - caring for families.
  • Focus on Care, Not Paperwork: We handle the credentialing, billing, and administrative hassle of accepting insurance so you can receive reliable and timely payment for your work.
  • Connect with Patients: We provide client matching and outreach support to help you connect with families who need your services based on your availability and demand.
  • Comprehensive Support: You'll have access to administrative and technical support to navigate Pomelo's systems, as well as charting and documentation support to streamline your workflow.
  • Doula Community: You'll have access to a vibrant peer community of hundreds of doulas for support, shared learning, and connection.
  • Maintain Your Flexibility: You choose the days and times you make yourself available for Pomelo clients. You may accept or decline available opportunities, and Pomelo does not guarantee any minimum number of matches or compensation.

At Pomelo, we are committed to hiring the best team to improve outcomes for all mothers and babies, regardless of their background. We need diverse perspectives to reflect the diversity of problems we face and the population we serve. We look to hire people from a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to race, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, religion, disability, and veteran status.
