Becoming a Doula

After high school, I want to go to school for Early Childhood, and then I want to venture to California for schooling to become a Doula, which is someone who takes care of pregnant woman, or new mothers. I could teach them how to cradle, and swaddle, and breast feed their baby. I could either help them before the baby is born, and be their support team, and tell the hospital what the mother does and doesn't want. Some times I would help after the baby is born, and I would help do the laundry and change the baby's diapers, and just help the mother out. This job pays $200-$1000 depending on the distance of where the person lives, and how long I am there for. I want a job like this so that some day so that I can be independent and run it out of my home! I have always wanted a job that is on my time, and I feel as if this is very open  to different things, new people, new experiences, and new places! I have never been one to want to work in groups, and if I had the choice, I would rather workout to Zumba while watching Netflix, rather than get screwed up at some party. I am very straight forward, and have my future already set in my head, this is something that comforts me greatly. I can't wait to help little babies, and venture on my own!
