I'm a doula and I desperately need some help!

I have a lovely job, being a doula. However, I am also a mum. It is proving very difficult to find childcare when I am called out to a birth. The problem is that I am "on call" for a month. I can get called out at any time. I have a 12 month old and live in Carshalton, Surrey. Are any of you anywhere near and possibly open to the idea of being "on-call" childcare? Any suggestions welcome.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I have this too and am thinking of being a post natal only doula

It's a shame, as I wanted to be a birth doula for years before I started the training.

Hi, I could possibly help out, think you have my email address, so drop me a line telling me more about what you will be needing.
