Childbirth Educator Opportunities

Birthing Babies VA is currently recruiting trainers to provide childbirth classes in Northern Virginia, Southwest Virginia, and Hampton Roads.  All childbirth educators must be Lamaze certified.  Not certified by Lamaze?  Not a problem!  Birth Babies VA offers Lamaze Accredited Childbirth Educator Seminars.  Those interested in joining the BBVA team receive significant discounts on seminar fees.

If you are interested in learning more about trainer opportunities please email Blake Slusser at birthingbabiesva@gmail.com.  Include in your email:

  • Experience with prenatal families,
  • Who your target market would be,
  • If you are already certified, and
  • How often you are interested in teaching classes!

Thank you so much!  I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Are you interested in becoming a Childbirth Educator trainer?

Great news!  Birthing Babies VA is currently seeking Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educators to serve as trainers.

To be eligible to become a trainer you must be able to demonstrate that you have:

  • Been an LCCE for at least three years and been through at least one recertification,
  • Designed and taught Lamaze Childbirth Classes, and
  • Set yourself apart as a leader in the field.  This can be demonstrated by FACCE status or a letter of recommendations from someone in the field.

After setting up an initial interview to determine whether or not you will be a good fit with our team a training schedule will be determined.  Trainers must observe one full Lamaze Accredited Childbirth Educator Seminar with Birthing Babies VA taught by Blake Slusser.  Then you will be scheduled to co-teach 1-2 additional Educator Seminars, either with Blake or another program trainer.  At this time it will be up to the discretion of the Program Director to determine whether or not you are ready to teach independently.
