For my career day, my internship was not available, so I shadowed my grandma who is a Doula. Name of business: MyDoulaChris Profession: Doula / HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator Mentor: Christine Dorman Describe a typical work day at this site As a doula, your job is to help women during, through, and after their pregnancy. Offering emotional support, information, and care. A typical work day in a doula's life would consist of teaching birth classes to expecting couples, helping talk a woman through the childbirth process, possibility helping a woman give birth (although that's not everyday,) and staying with the birth family afterwards helping with the new baby, medical needs, and support. Explain what the business's general work policies (tardiness, absence, etc.) are Since this is such an important job, and couples really rely on their doula, tardiness and absence are not an option, because missing a birth would be very serious. Describe the dress code that seems to be in place at this work site Simple, casual, and comfortable clothes that are easy to move around in Look for ways in which you would be applying the skills you have learned in your high school classes I can apply the skills that I learned during my career day to my daily high school classes by remembering the importance of hard work, dedication, and effort, and by seeing the different results that come from good work verses bad. Explain your internship project and how you will be contributing to the workplace For my actual internship, I will be helping care for animals at the Humane Society. My project will be working with new animals and helping coordinate foster care and adoptions for them. Reflection During my career day I learned a lot about a topic I wasn't fully aware of. I learned about the importance of birth and all that goes into a happy one. While I don't see this as a potential career for me, I still learned tons of valuable information that will come in handy later in life, and I'm very grateful to have spent the day discovering new and interesting facts.
