Find & Apply For Midwife / Nurse Midwife Jobs in Waukesha, Wisconsin

Community Home Birth Practice | Waukesha, Wisconsin Who We Are Family Focused Midwifery provides personalized, evidence-informed home birth care to families throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. We believe pregnancy and birth care should feel relational, supportive, and individualized while maintaining high standards for safety and clinical care. Our model allows us to spend meaningful time with families throughout pregnancy, prepare them well for birth and postpartum, and support physiologic birth while maintaining clear clinical guidelines for consultation, collaboration, and transfer when needed. As our practice grows, we are intentionally building a collaborative team where midwives can provide meaningful, relationship-based care without carrying the responsibility of running a practice or being on call alone. We want our midwives to have sustainable careers, meaningful time away from work, and a team they can rely on.

Our midwives work together rather than practicing in isolation. Clients have the opportunity to know the midwives who may attend their birth, while midwives benefit from shared call, backup coverage, administrative support, and clinical collaboration. We value midwives who trust physiologic birth while also recognizing when consultation, intervention, or transfer is the safest next step. Our goal is to create a practice where both families and the clinicians caring for them feel well supported.
