What is the difference between a doula and a confinement nanny?

A doula is often focused on emotional support, education, birth planning, and recovery guidance. A confinement nanny is usually more hands-on with newborn care and household routines after birth.

Can a doula help after delivery?

Yes. Many doulas provide postpartum support, but the scope is often different from a full-time caregiver or live-in nanny.

Should I contact a doula or a nanny first?

Contact the role that matches your most urgent need. If you need labor and recovery guidance, start with doulas. If you mainly need ongoing childcare coverage, start with nannies.
