How much do childbirth educators make?
The amount a CBE makes for their services varies greatly by region. Following a poll of CAPPA CBEs in 2004, rates varied from $13.00-$38.00 per hour for hospital employed CBEs. Those in private practice claimed to get $45.00-$180.00 per couple for a 5 week series. You may do some investigating in your own area by going to your local hospital’s website and seeing what the fee is to take the various courses offered through them.
