From 2020-2023 I served on the board of directors of the Doula Services Associate of BC. An organization serving both doulas and families with our volunteer doula program. Previous to that I was an Events Committee Member at The Shanti Uganda Society in Vancouver, BC in 2015-2016. I then continued my volunteer work with them in Uganda as a Communications and Social Media intern in Luwero, Uganda where I photographed and documented the events and day to day operations at our Birth House which provided a Midwifery model of mother-centered care.
My rate is $35/hr with a daytime minimum of 4 hours and an overnight rate of $40/hr with a minimum of 8 hours. Twins are an extra $5/hour. I do provide low-cost support based on circumstances. Please contact me for those rates.

Post a testimonial for Rachel Simmet
1/26/2022
Rachel cared or my newborn twin daughters and she has been such an incredible support to our family. She is calm, gentle, caring, reliable, kind and conscientious. She took care of the girls overnight as well as during the day. I felt comfortable having Rachel care for the girls while I was sleeping or out of the house. She is skilled at managing two babies on her own at the same time. She is very experienced at caring for babies and was a great resource when I had questions. I highly recommend Rachel to any families who are considering a post-partum doula.

Rachel looked after my twins overnight for the first few months of their lives. She was very dedicated and always came prepared. There were nights when my son wouldn't go back to sleep and would cry for many hours. I will never forget that she even brought her own carrier so that she could soothe him better. She was also a great source of knowledge and resources. I do not hesitate to recommend her. I would ask her to care for my kids again in the future if the opportunity arises.
Thanks for your great care Rachel.
