About us

As a little girl of 7, I first said I wanted to be a midwife. Early on, I was fascinated by pregnancy and the birth of a new human being. All these years I have held onto this dream and in 2021 I graduated as a midwife.

After graduation, I started as an locum midwife at DelVi, and have been a partner at DelVi since 2022. As a born and raised Delft resident, I was delivered by a Delft midwife who is now my colleague, I am right at home here within this fine team.

I don't work as a midwife, I am a midwife. For me, these are 2 different things. The irregularity, unpredictability, versatility, and responsibility within the profession make midwifery a profession for which you need passion. And if it is your passion, it is the best job there is. At least I think so ;-). Every day we guide couples through the process of becoming parents (again). It is beautiful to give personal guidance during this change in life, and very fulfilling to see a beautiful little person being born.

Meanwhile, I am also qualified to make ultrasounds and I have done the contraception specialization, which makes for a nice change in the consultation hour. Even when you don't want to get pregnant (for a while), you can come to me for advice on contraception or for placing an IUD.

Besides being a midwife, I am also a dance teacher at a nice dancing club here in Delft. I have been dancing here for years, and currently teach the youngest selection group and 'Special Dance'. I also enjoy having a drink with friends in town and can regularly be found on the beach.

I look forward to meeting you! See you soon!

After my studies and graduation as a midwife in 2011, I worked as a locum midwife in several practices in Delft and surrounding areas. Since May 2018, I have been a partner at Verloskundig Centrum DelVi.

From the time I could talk, I have always said I wanted to become a midwife, and am very happy that I was able to make this dream come true. I think it is important to have time and attention for the pregnant woman and her partner. In our center, you find obstetric care, maternity care, and lactation medicine under 1 roof, which is very valuable. Together with my fine colleagues, I am ready to guide you through this special period.

I also work 1 day a week at Prenatal Center the Look to perform 20-week ultrasounds. In addition, I have 3 young children and for me, a good balance between work and my own family is a nice challenge!

Dear (future) mums,

Let me briefly introduce myself:
I am Maaike Slingerland and I am a midwife in the Delft region since 2018. I am also qualified for making ultrasounds, which has made my job as a midwife even more fun.
Since 2021 I am working at Verloskundig Centrum DelVi and you can meet me during the consultation hour, at the delivery, and during maternity visits.
I hope to meet you soon!

From an early age I knew that I wanted to become a midwife. After HAVO, after an exciting selection, I started the education in Rotterdam. Now since July 2023 the time has come; I can call myself a midwife! During my training I interned several times at DelVi and after graduating I immediately started working here as an acting midwife. I was born and raised in Den Hoorn. I think it is extra special that I can practice this wonderful profession so close to home. In my spare time I enjoy shopping with friends, walking or sitting on a terrace. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Zelf ben ik geboren en getogen in Den Hoorn. Ik vind het dan ook extra bijzonder dat ik zo dichtbij huis dit mooie beroep mag uitoefenen.

In mijn vrije tijd vind ik het leuk om met vriendinnen te winkelen, wandelen of gezellig op een terras te zitten.

Ik kijk ernaar uit jullie snel te ontmoeten!
