What My Support Looks Like
When I arrive at the beginning of each shift, time will be spent checking in with you and your baby, listening to your concerns, hearing about your wins, and encouraging you in your challenges. Starting here, I will assess with you what your most pressing needs are for the day. Once this has been mutually determined, I'll spring to action, helping you take care of the things that leave you feeling most supported that day. This might look like conversation and a healthy snack, infant feeding tips, tidying up, keeping an eye on your sweet pea while you nap or take a shower, organizing a grocery delivery, sharing solid resources, or showing you how to soothe a fussy newborn…it all depends on what’s going on. Whatever it is, I’ve got you! I'm flexible, and we'll go where the day takes us!

"You really felt like a life-saver to me postpartum! Your guidance gave me the confidence to try things I honestly felt like I couldn't do on my own. There was a mental block that you helped me see through. Forever grateful!"

"Thanks Autumn for all your help making us confident as new parents!"
BeHerVillage is a gift registry that helps parents get the funds they need for the
support they deserve. Over $12,000,000,000 is spent each year on baby gifts in
the US. While parents are being overloaded with expensive and largely
unnecessary baby gear, they are unable to afford the basic care they need.
BeHerVillage helps parents access funds to pay for doulas, lactation support,
maternity leave, pelvic floor care, midwifery care, and other types of support that
is often not covered by insurance and out of reach for so many people.
