  Descrição

  Hi, I work as a midwife in Chisasibi (Eeyou Itschee / Baie James, QC, Canada) a Cree community in Northern Quebec. My name is Maude, I come from Magdalen Islands and I am a single mom of two (Raphael, 8 y.o. and Marianne 6 y.o.). Since few years the Elders in the community has been asking to bring back births on the Land (women had to flight to Abitibi to give birth so they were far away from their home and family since 1997) and so the midwifery services started about 2 years ago to give the possibility to the cree families to welcome their babies at home.

  Ajuda

  As a midwife I am on call 24/7 for two months on the Land so I need help to take care of the kids if I have to go at a birth (often in the middle of the night ;) and also to be there for the lunch time and after school. I offer the transport to come here (from Montreal, Qc, Abitibi, if elsewhere, we can discuss it), lodging, food and compensation. People in Chisasibi speak Cree and English mostly, but we speak French at home (would like my kids to learn English as well). I am looking for someone available from mid-May to mid-July and maybe more for next year. I can also offer the drive up to Magdalen Island in the summer. It will be a pleasure to meet you and share together. :)
