I have had the good fortune to attend labors and births in a wide variety of homes. From million dollar mansions in exclusive suburbs , to one room cabins deep in remote mountain towns . Simple suburban tract homes and one room apartments in inner city neighborhoods to panoramic view apartments where the monthly rent was easily double my entire fee. Sometimes payment is whatever fee medicaid paid or what the family could afford, or nothing at all. No matter where or how the family lives or what the mother does, be it broadway star or check out girl at the supermarket; I strive to treat each family uniquely but the same. With respect and kindness. I strive to connect with that family and honor where and who they are. It is part of my job to find a way to relate to them without regards to their social or economic status.
