Providing In-home Postpartum Support

Make a difference by spending a few flexible hours each week helping a family and their baby in the comfort of their home.

Current need is for volunteers with weekday, daytime availability

What you can do as a postpartum volunteer!

• Provide non-judgmental support in a postpartum family’s home

• Connect with a family for 12 weeks and visit for 2+ hours each week. Days and times per week are flexible with your schedule.

• Support tasks includes:

  • Watch and care for baby/ies

  • Watch and care for sibling/s

  • Complete light housework (laundry, dishes, house pick-up)

  • Give the parent time for self care (nap, shower, etc.)

  • Provide companionship and emotional support

  • Help with meal preparation

We currently support families with newborns in Kent and Ottawa counties. If you live outside of these areas, please reach out to our Program Director, Kimber, at kimber@momsbloom.org.
