Hi Eric! Congratulations on your expected baby! Can you tell me where you are located please?

Great! Would you like to have a brief phone conversation later today? I am available at 5pm or 6pm.

5pm is great! I do not have your number. This platform is also relatively new to me. I charge $50/hour during the day with a 4 hour shift minimum, and $70/hour at night with a 7 hour shift minimum.

I completely understand the need to stick to a particular budget. Thank you for understanding that I am unable to change my rates. One thing families sometimes choose to do to lessen the cost is switch from night to day, or have less days or hours. For example a 10 hour shift 4 nights/week would be in your budget. If this is not something that would meet your needs I completely understand and I hope you find a wonderful doula!

You, too!
