A nanny normally cares for babies, and children exclusively. A maternity nurse will also care exclusively for the baby. A postnatal doula is a nonmedical professional. A postnatal doula specialises in the care of you, the mother, the household and siblings; offering help with the baby when needed. She is there to empower you to be the mother that you want to be.
