The House Brief

Written once, in your words.

The private notes every caregiver reads before arriving, so they rarely have to ask. Feeding, the swaddle, the dog, the coffee, who may be woken.

  • Home

    Parking, the door code, where the nursery is, the room temperature you like, pets.

  • Baby

    Feeding, how he likes to be settled and swaddled, his sleep space, anything from the pediatrician.

  • Mama

    Your favorite breakfast, how you take your coffee, quiet hours, and who may be woken.

  • Household

    Laundry, the bottle and pump system, kitchen habits, older siblings, guests.

The House Brief never asks about your body, your sleep, or your mood. The tending card carries how you are tonight.

The tending card

One tap before each visit.

Three colors for you: Bright, Steady, Tender. Three for the baby: Settled, Up and down, Unsettled.

Tender means your caregiver asks nothing and wakes you only if the baby needs you.

The tending card screen: How are you both? with three choices for mom and three for Oliver.
The chart screen: Tending mama. Your night with Anna, in brief.

The chart

Your night, in brief.

Feeds, changes, sleep, and one line from your caregiver, each with a time. You read it with your coffee and never need to reply.

Who the caregivers are

Independent professionals.

Night nannies, postpartum doulas, and newborn care specialists running their own businesses.

Each with a background check completed before the first booking, CPR current, and credentials shown with issuer and expiry.

For partners and grandparents

Book, pay, get updates, or give a gift.

Her messages and her tending card stay private unless she shares them.

Join the waitlist

For mothers, partners, and grandparents. Boise and Ada County open in January 2027. Tell us your due date or your baby’s birth date, and we write when booking opens.

I am

If you are the one who gave birth: the nights and the meals are for you. You write the house rules once, in the app, and every caregiver reads them there before arriving.

Days, nights, or both

We use your email only to tell you when AfterDoula opens in your city. We never sell it.

Talk with us first.
