COVID-19 is changing how we all work and live. It’s no different for us, but you’re still having a baby and still need this valuable support. For that reason we will continue to offer our in-home care. As professionals, here is what we will commit to:

• Practice social distancing outside of client support
• Wash hands thoroughly at home before we come to you, and again on arrival at your home, and frequently throughout each day
• Avoid touching our eyes, nose, mouth
• Use your cleaning products to wipe down surfaces in your home when we arrive, and again before we leave
• Change clothes before we come to your home, and between clients
• Check ourselves daily for fever, and before we come to you
• Bring nothing from the outside into your home (baby carriers, bags, blankets, etc.)
• Cancel immediately (and send a backup doula) if we or anyone in our home, or anyone whom we’ve been in contact with, shows symptoms
• Wear gloves while we are in your home, if you’d prefer
• Provide physical distancing even within your home, if you’d prefer – we can offer guidance and ideas, give breastfeeding support, prepare food, fold laundry, and do household organization from a distance while you rest and snuggle with your baby; we can have as little or as much contact with the baby as you’d prefer
• Provide virtual support, if you’d prefer (guidance and ideas, processing, emotional support, breastfeeding information can all be given virtually)

We will also rely on you to let US know if anyone in your family has had any exposure to anyone with the virus, has traveled within the pat 14 days, or has any signs of illness.
