without special degrees. I am eager to find a job for which I have a passion for, being I do care for mothers and love to be with them at their births for support, as well as assisting with their house chores to give them relief during pregnancy. Can someone help me?

A Doula is a rofession that is all about supporting mothers during and after birth. You can choose to focus on helping during the first few weeks after birth, that is called a "postpartum doula" or you can focus mainly on labor support, or do both.

You are describing a doula's role. Certification is useful but not necessary. There are many paths to get you there. CBI has a helpful page that compares different certification companies and they also offer a free guide to becoming a doula: http://www.childbirthinternational.com./Guide.htm so you can see if it is for you

A doula!
Training helps, but you don't need a degree.
