A doula must be:

• Can handle certain amount of stress
• Has the ability to multitask at all times
• Being able to combine personal and professional life since they are on call on a consistent basis for their clients.

Search on the internet to find a doula in your area.
In some of the smaller areas of the United States it may be more difficult to find a doula.
However, if you’re willing to travel even if it’s just to experience a live birth and be there for a portion of the post-partum job of a doula it would be worth it.

If doulas are not available in your area, try connecting with a mid-wife.
At least you would get an introduction to child birth and care of mother.
Remember: mid-wife, are most typically a certified nurse which is not something that a doula is.
