Postpartum Doula
Greenville, SC & Surrounding Upstate Communities
Bornwell Newborn Services is growing!

Our growing team includes Registered Nurses, Postpartum Doulas, and Lactation Professionals who work together to provide exceptional, evidence-based care to new families.
We are looking for experienced professionals who take pride in their work and want to be part of a professional team—not simply pick up occasional babysitting shifts.
About the Position
Our Postpartum Doulas provide in-home newborn and postpartum support, with a strong emphasis on overnight newborn care.

- Supporting bottle-feeding and paced bottle-feeding
- Washing bottles and pump parts
- Tracking feeds, diapers, sleep, and other newborn information

- Maintaining strict confidentiality and professional boundaries

We Are Looking for Exceptional Doulas
We are intentionally selective about the professionals we bring onto our team.
Our families are trusting us with their newborns during an incredibly important and vulnerable time. We want doulas who are knowledgeable, confident, calm, dependable, and genuinely passionate about newborn care.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Current Postpartum Doula certification
- Current Infant CPR certification
- Professional liability insurance
- Some college education or higher
- Significant professional experience caring for newborns and/or postpartum families

- A calm and confident presence
- Strong attention to detail
- Excellent reliability and punctuality
- Reliable transportation
- Ability to travel throughout Greenville and surrounding communities
- Successful completion of a background check

Breastfeeding Experience Is a Plus
Experience supporting breastfeeding families is highly valued.
We are especially interested in doulas who understand normal newborn feeding behavior, breastfeeding basics, paced bottle feeding, pumping, and the importance of protecting the breastfeeding relationship when appropriate.
Bornwell has lactation professionals on our team, so our doulas work within their scope while collaborating with our IBCLCs and other healthcare professionals when families require additional feeding support.
Additional experience with the following is a plus:
- Newborn Care Specialist training
- Premature infants
- Twins or multiples
- Cesarean recovery
- Breastfeeding support
- Pumping and bottle feeding
- High-needs or medically complex infants
- Previous professional postpartum doula work
- Maternal-child health experience
- Nursing or healthcare experience
Availability
This is a PRN / part-time position with the opportunity for consistent overnight work.
During our busiest months, we need our doulas to be available for at least two overnight shifts per week.
Ideal candidates will have flexibility for:
- Weeknight overnight shifts
- Weekend overnight shifts
- Increased availability during our peak seasons
- Occasional consecutive overnight shifts
We understand that our team members have families, other employment, and personal commitments. However, consistent availability and reliability are essential to providing continuity of care to our clients.
Compensation
$25–$30 per hour, based on experience, education, certifications, and demonstrated newborn-care expertise.
Candidates with extensive newborn-care experience, Newborn Care Specialist training, lactation experience, nursing experience, or other advanced qualifications may be considered at a higher rate.
Typical overnight shifts are 8 hours.
What Makes a Bornwell Provider Different?
Bornwell is not a babysitting agency.
Our families hire us because they want professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy newborn care.
We expect our providers to:
Be dependable.
Our families are counting on you. Showing up on time and being prepared for every shift matters.
Know newborns.
You should feel comfortable caring for a newborn at 2 a.m. and know what needs to happen next without needing constant direction.
Be professional in the home.
You are entering someone's home during an incredibly personal and vulnerable season. Discretion, cleanliness, boundaries, and emotional intelligence are essential.
Know your scope.
We want providers who can educate and support families without overstepping their professional role—and who recognize when a concern needs to be referred to a pediatrician, IBCLC, or other healthcare professional.
Take initiative.
The best doulas don't wait to be told that bottles need washing or the nursery needs tidying. They notice what needs to be done and quietly take care of it.
Provide exceptional care.
The little things matter—a thoughtful update to exhausted parents, a clean bottle station, a settled baby, an organized nursery, and a calm presence at 3 a.m.
