Katie Maloney is a Postpartum Doula in the Upper Delaware Valley.
Postpartum families deserve extra loving care and often need an extra set of hands.
I welcome you to browse my offerings and to reach out if you are considering allowing a doula the honor of supporting you during your fourth trimester.
Bio
Katie (she/her) has completed her DONA International postpartum doula training in Asheville, NC.
Katie has been a professional nanny for 20 years and has extensive experience caring for new babies as well as gently assisting families throughout times of transition. Her passion for supporting families has only intensified with the experience of becoming a mother herself.
With a lifelong calling toward childcare she is excited to share her specialties of newborn sleep, feeding, and soothing solutions, as well as to extend her capacities of loving care to include the rest of the family; particularly mothering the new mother.
Katie is always continuing her education in all things related to the postpartum period, and strives to empower parents to trust their capabilities and to ask for assistance in the ways they see fit.

As a doula I offer you non-medical, judgment-free support in parenthood. From simply holding your baby while you rest or shower, to providing referrals to community professionals, my role as your postpartum doula will be to normalize, validate, and facilitate a healing and bonding environment amidst the growing pains that come along with your new role as parents to your new baby.
I also offer care as an experienced nanny and encourage you to reach out if you anticipate your need to be more childcare specific.
Pricing
My daily visits will last between 3 and 4 hours, and are offered at $100/day. I require a minimum of 3 visits.
I’m happy to tailor a schedule to your family’s needs to the best of my ability and my initial consultation is always free!
A deposit of 50% is required to be paid upon hire to reserve the period of time you intend to have my services and is non refundable.
My doula services are offered only within a 1 hour drive from Callicoon, NY.
