“Dear Mr. or Ms. [Last Name],

I am writing to apply for the midwife position with [hospital/company name]. I am a registered midwife with more than 10 years’ experience in labor and delivery, and I have been certified by the [certifying body].

As a midwife, my primary focus is supporting women during pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and postpartum care. I help patients maintain good health during their pregnancies, as well as assist them during labor and delivery. I also provide newborn care, including breastfeeding guidance and newborn screening tests.

I have many years of experience working closely with medical doctors and other medical professionals to support women before, during, and after childbirth.

Here are some highlights of my experience:

• I have helped deliver over 1,000 babies in my career.
• I have worked in both home and hospital settings.
• My patients rave about how comfortable I make them. One mother said this about me, It was just like having a friend with me.
• I have taken multiple courses in prenatal care and lactation, and I stay up-to-date on all the latest research about what’s best for mothers.

I am also skilled at keeping detailed records of my patients’ health histories and current conditions. In addition, I can perform regular exams to monitor fetal development, as well as identify potential complications and deliver quick responses.

The opportunity presented in this listing is very appealing to me, and I believe that my experience as a Midwife at the Women’s Health Center is an ideal match for your needs. I am confident that I could quickly become an asset to your team.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information or would like to schedule an interview.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]”

Sample 2:

“Dear Ms. Loretta Andrews,

I am currently seeking a position in midwifery at your hospital Inova Fairfax Hospital and have included my resume for your convenience and perusal.

I am a registered nurse and am also a licensed midwife in this state and have worked as a midwife for more than seven years to date. In my experience I have executed midwife nursing functions in the care of pregnant women and have also monitored and observed their condition. My communication skills are very good which allows me to obtain the medical history and to conduct screening tests as ordered by the physician. These skills are also necessary in order to assist the mothers to be in their labor processes through midwife nursing care.

I can also provide follow up nursing care to new mothers and their babies and can educate new mothers on breastfeeding, bathing and dressing babies. This includes instructing and educating mothers on related baby healthcare issues. When required, I would have no problem in educating pregnant women on gynecological health care and can counsel all women on birth control issues. There would also be no issue with administering any and all medications as prescribed the consulting physician.

If the need ever arises, I can also assist mothers in the delivery of the newborn in cases where they would prefer a midwife rather than a consulting physician. I have experience with water births and other non traditional birthing methods that are becoming more popular in the past few years.

Please feel free to contact me at any time by calling (555)-555-5555.

Respectfully,

Your Signature

John Cromwell
