00 per hour (or more for at-home care) Guide new families through the fourth trimester Sanu is a postnatal retreat in Northern Virginia, reimagining how mothers and newborns are cared for in the tender weeks after birth. We're looking for experienced, warm-hearted Postpartum Doulas to join our team and deliver the kind of expert, nurturing care that helps families recover, bond, and find their footing. As a Sanu doula, you are at the very heart of a mother's recovery. Working under the guidance of your Supervisor and alongside a close-knit care team, you'll provide skilled lactation support, restorative postpartum care, and steady reassurance — while keeping the team informed about each guest's progress, needs, and concerns. Why Sanu? Postpartum care is some of the most meaningful work there is. In these early weeks, a mother is exhausted, healing, and often overwhelmed — and your knowledge and calm presence change the entire arc of her experience. At Sanu, you'll see that impact directly: a mom who finally rests, a baby who latches, a family that leaves confident instead of anxious. What makes Sanu different for the doulas who join us: Your expertise is truly valued. You're not squeezed between hospital rounds or racing between homes — you have the time and setting to give the thoughtful, individualized care you trained for. A serene, elevated place to practice. Sanu occupies a private floor of a full-service hotel — a calm, non-clinical environment designed to care for our caregivers as well as our guests. Meaningful work, every shift. You feel your impact immediately, in rested mothers and settled babies. Few roles offer that kind of human reward. Grow with a supportive team. Collaborate with experienced doulas and caregivers, with on-the-job training and a genuinely collaborative culture. Flexibility that respects your life. Per diem scheduling with day and night shifts. Sanu is the modern village that surrounds new parents. As a doula, you help lead it. What you'll do: Care for mothers Partner closely with mothers to provide postpartum care and lactation support aligned with each personalized care plan. Build daily rhythms for mother and baby that encourage bonding, feeding, and rest. Offer holistic comfort and pain-management support, including sitz baths and other evidence-based postpartum practices. Manage and maintain breast pump equipment, and guide parents on safe breast milk storage and labeling. Respond warmly to guest requests and concerns, escalating anything beyond your scope. Prepare and stock guest rooms so each family arrives to a clean, ready space. Care for babies Provide gentle newborn care and hands-on guidance to new parents — bathing, feeding, and diapering. Keep the baby room clean, sanitary, and fully stocked. Change crib linens regularly and report any changes in a baby's behavior to management. Keep clear records Document guest assessments, care plans, interventions, responses, and follow-up accurately. Report significant changes in a guest's condition to your supervisor promptly. Maintain compliance with all documentation and regulatory standards. Complete tasks within scheduled timeframes and help foster a positive, collaborative environment. What you'll bring: Doula and hands-on postpartum and newborn care experience. Current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification (kept up to date). A high school diploma or GED (proof required upon hiring). Excellent written and verbal communication skills — clear, kind, and concise. Strong teamwork, with proactive, collaborative contributions. Grace under pressure — the ability to navigate conflict and diverse personalities with warmth. A deep commitment to advancing maternal and newborn care, support, and education.
