Certified Nurse-Midwife
We’re looking for a full-time (preferred) or part-time Certified Nurse-Midwife to deliver full-spectrum perinatal care and basic gynecology at our new perinatal practice in Berkeley, CA.

About Millie
Millie is reimagining the hospital-based U.S. perinatal experience. We aim to provide more complete, inclusive, and empowering care with better maternal health outcomes by centering midwifery care (with OB collaboration when needed) as a standard in the U.S.
Our Berkeley, CA in-person clinic provides a warm and welcoming environment for holistic perinatal care. At Millie, support extends beyond the clinic through app-based education, remote monitoring, and virtual care spanning specialties. We partner with Alta Bates Campus Birth Center for our labor and delivery services — and all services are covered by major insurance plans and Medi-Cal. Our patient population is very diverse and we hope to build a clinical team that reflects the patients we serve.
Our clinic and care team are successful when all birthing parents, regardless of background:
- Feel valued, respected, and heard.
- Feel confident and supported in their decisions.
- Can easily access trusted and skilled support.
- Experience a healthier pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.
This includes (but is not limited to) reduced rates of preterm births, NICU stays, C-sections, earlier detection of complications, and a better experience.
This is an opportunity to raise the bar for maternity care, shape a growing midwifery practice, and work with a team of inspiring and committed people. If you are passionate about improving maternal health come join us!

- Provide medication abortion services.
- Collaborate with other team members (e.g., obstetricians, nurses, doulas, nutritionists, therapists, etc.).
- Communicate effectively with patients during and between appointments to ensure questions are answered and concerns are addressed by leveraging Millie’s app and technology.
