How the marketplace works

VillageNest connects you with trusted, independent providers — you choose who to book, and your relationship is directly with them. We facilitate the introduction and the platform; we don’t employ providers, direct their work, or provide medical care. Every service is non-clinical, with a defined scope and upfront pricing.

Understand the scope

What each service includes

Every category has a clear, non-clinical scope. Tap to see what’s included.

Postpartum doulas

non-medical, nurturing support Best for: Families who want steady, nurturing companionship at home after birth.
$40/hr
starting

What this is. A postpartum doula provides emotional, educational, and practical support — soothing and settling baby, sharing newborn and general feeding guidance, and helping you rest and feel steady. Doulas offer non-medical support only and do not provide clinical or medical care.

Included

  • Nurturing newborn care — soothing, settling, diapering, bathing
  • Emotional reassurance and companionship
  • Educational guidance on newborn care and routines
  • Light, baby- and mother-related help — a little tidying, a warm plate

Not included

  • Medical or clinical care, diagnosis, or treatment
  • Clinical feeding, lactation, or wound care
  • Deep cleaning or heavy household work
  • Sole care of older children or pets, or unlimited on-call hours
PricingTypically $40–55/hr. Overnight hours, longer or added sessions, multiples or additional children, travel beyond the standard area, or last-minute bookings. Final pricing is set by each provider and shown before you book.
When a different provider may be recommendedFor anything medical, your own clinician; for household-heavy needs, home cleaning or errands. If a doula also offers a separate modality (such as bodywork), it is booked and scoped separately from doula support — never blended into it.
From $40/hr

$35/hr
starting

Beauty and lifestyle services (such as hair, makeup, or nails) are not part of VillageNest’s core support and may be considered only as optional future add-ons. VillageNest is a marketplace that connects families with independent providers for non-clinical support. VillageNest doesn’t provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and isn’t an emergency service.
