Our MNs are the heart of our work—hired from the communities we serve, they build deep, meaningful relationships with the families they work with. You will act as a bridge between the healthcare system and the community, ensuring that each mother feels heard, empowered, and equipped with the tools she needs for a healthy and joyful pregnancy.

  • Maintain clear and accurate documentation of all care interactions to ensure every mother receives high-quality, coordinated support.
  • Build trusting relationships with mothers, creating a safe space for open conversations about their needs and concerns and support via call or messaging between visits.
  • Serve as a connector to community resources, ensuring that barriers like food insecurity, transportation, or housing challenges don’t stand in the way of a healthy pregnancy.
  • Be a voice for the community, bringing insights from your experience and from mothers and families back to Cayaba Care to help shape programs that truly meet their needs.
  • Attend administrative meetings and follow our Cayaba policies and procedures to ensure the highest standard for our members.

  • Deep understanding of the challenges expectant mothers face and experience providing prenatal and postpartum health education.
  • A great listener and strong communicator who can provide both emotional support and practical guidance with compassion and cultural sensitivity.
  • Strong problem solving skills and ability to manage multiple priorities such as member visits, messaging, and internal meetings in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfort working independently in the field while staying connected to a team of specialists.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and compliance with state inspection, registration, and insurance requirements.
  • Access to home internet and a phone with internet access.
  • Tech-savvy and able to quickly learn to document interactions and communicate effectively in our technology platforms such as AthenaOne, Welkin, and MacOs.
