BBG Ventures · Berkeley, CA · 1 wk ago
ManufacturingPart-time
About the role
Millie Guides are a unique part of our care model, helping families feel informed, supported, and connected between clinical visits. As a Millie Guide, you'll often build relationships with patients over the course of their pregnancy — not just during a single visit. You'll educate, support, and empower families in close partnership with the midwives, OB-GYNs, and nurses who direct their clinical care. Your role complements and reinforces the guidance of the clinical team, ensuring patients hear a consistent, evidence-based message from everyone supporting them.
Responsibilities
- Lead group sessions and individualized prenatal education visits
- Document patient interactions accurately and efficiently
- Respond to patient questions through Millie’s messaging platform
- Connect patients with appropriate resources and collaborate with clinicians when concerns require escalation
- Instruct and facilitate prenatal classes that cover a wide range of topics including childbirth preparation, lactation, and newborn care
- Host regular community gatherings for our patients and local families
- Contribute ideas that improve the Millie Guide program, patient education, and overall patient experience
- Help patients feel prepared, confident, and supported throughout pregnancy
Qualifications
- Completion of doula training or equivalent experience in perinatal education
- Doula training strongly preferred
- Skills/training in the following areas are a plus: bilingual, motivational interviewing, additional lactation certifications or training, prenatal nutrition training
- Experience working with a diverse population (racially, socioeconomically, educationally, BIPOC, LGBTQ, and individuals/families who have differences in their approach and philosophies to their care)
What we offer
- A seat on a collaborative, mission-driven team that’s building a new standard for hospital-based maternity care — one that integrates doula support into an evidence-based clinical model, not alongside it
- Competitive salary
- Innovative and patient-centered model of care
