What the law says in Idaho
No one checks the caregiver unless you do.
Idaho licenses daycare, which the law defines as care in a place other than the child's own home. A night nanny or postpartum doula in your home sits outside that licensing, and the state's criminal history check applies to daycare staff only. The law requires no check on the caregiver. On AfterDoula, the caregiver will complete a background check before the first booking.
Idaho Medicaid does not cover doula care.
Five questions mothers in Boise and Ada County ask
When does AfterDoula open in Boise, and what happens when I join the waitlist?
The app opens in Boise and Ada County in January 2027. Join the waitlist with your due date or your baby’s birth date and your ZIP code, and we email the download link the day the app is live here. Families on the list book first.
Night nanny or postpartum doula: which do I need?
A night nanny takes the night with your baby. A postpartum doula tends you by day: recovery, feeding, meals, the house. On AfterDoula one caregiver can do both. You choose the hours, and the caregiver learns your house once.
When should I book?
Six to eight weeks before your due date, if you can. Bookings run 8 weeks at minimum, and the caregivers with the most experience fill first. If your baby is already here, join anyway: openings come up when a family’s eight weeks end.
Who checks the caregiver in Idaho?
Idaho law requires no check on a caregiver in your own home, so the check falls to you. On AfterDoula every caregiver completes a background check before the first booking, and the date is on their profile. Pediatric CPR and safe sleep training are verified too.
Does Idaho Medicaid cover a postpartum doula?
No. Idaho has no Medicaid doula benefit. Ask your employer or your health plan what it reimburses.
