Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hello. My name is Zoya and I use she her pronouns. I am working as a postpartum doula for brood. I'm also a current midwifery student at UBC. I really love how both doula work and midwifery are so client centered. My passion for this kind of work stems from a lifelong fascination with everything to do with birth and pregnancy, as well as a love for one on one interactions and care. Work as your duel I hope to be a compassionate and non judgmental listener, helper, and a support person. My caregiving style is calm and flexible. I know that every day presents with different triumphs and challenges, and I hope to be there as a guide to help navigate those moments in parenthood and the postpartum. This may look like doing household chores or meal prep, providing lactation support, answering questions, taking care of baby to allow you some time to rest, and so much more. My expertise is sibling care as well as my adaptability. This work is incredibly dynamic and just because something worked yesterday does not mean it's going to work today. So as your doula, my adaptability will take the stress out of those moments and leave you only with joy and learning. Thank you for listening.

Hello & What's Next

Hi. Lizzie here. We're so glad that you're part of our brood and that there's so many families who are curious to get to know you and a little bit about your story. We're using video in a creative way so families can see you, hear your voice, hear a little bit about your story, and understand if tour a good fit to jive. Jill's going to help you a little bit more with your setup and we're going to share a few questions for you to practice and think about when creating a really short, casual video to share with folks. Thank you so much for your energy and sharing a little bit about.

Getting Set Up

Jill. Here some quick ways to get set up. Grab your phone or your laptop with a video camera in it. Set it up somehow. Maybe you've got a stand or on a stack of books. You're going to find a natural source of light, like a window. Or if you're like me, you have one of those fancy ring lights. And then click record when you're ready. That's it.

You. So you're all ready to record. Your space is lit. You're looking great. Everything is calm and quiet. Now take out a pen and paper or a postit note, and you're going to think about these three prompts that you'll answer in your short video. The first is I became a doula because I became a doula because the the second is my caregiving style is my caregiving style is and the last my expertise is my expertise is we've created these three prompts, so you can share, pieces that you've studied, elements that you like to apply in your care work to families and anything that feels relevant and true to you. Anything that you would share in person. Make sure that you start all the prompts like you would in a conversation. My caregiving style is based on my cancer sign, I am a water sign. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever feels good to you. And our videos are under three minutes, so keep looking at a timer and keep talking and finish when you're ready to go. Good luck.

Thank you & get consent

That's it. You're all done. Thank you so much for submitting that video. It's really going to help our families get to know you a little bit better, more about your caregiving style, and help us set up the right pairings of doulas and families so they get the care that they need. If you have any questions or want any support in any of these things, do it again. Just want to talk it out with one of us. Get in touch with myself, Lizzie or Emma. That thank you.
