Who are we
Midwives
At the Bakermat we work with a small experienced team of four midwives.
Because we work as a team of midwives together, we have a lot of different experience and knowledge in one team. And besides that, there will be always a fresh and fit midwife available for you! We stand in for each other during holidays and sickness, so you will not see any other extra face during your pregnancy or delivery.
Midwives
Our obstetric team consists of Gerjanne, Aafke, Marise and Hanne. You will meet our midwife during consultations, deliveries and maternity visits. One of our midwives will also speak to you when you contact the emergency number.
Gerjanne Vrielink
Gerjanne is always dedicated and passionate about her work in obstetrics. She is deeply committed to the well-being of her clients and enjoys providing personalised care. In her practice, she specialises in inserting IUDs and postnatal counselling. In her spare time, she is active and enjoys sports, such as swimming, running and walking the dog. Her favourite holiday destination is Vlieland, where she likes to spend time with her husband and two daughters and can completely unwind.
Aafke van Os
Aafke was born in Westland and has been working at Bakermat since 2008. Aafke is a kind, warm midwife who listens carefully and works with the pregnant woman and her partner to choose the best care path for them. Aafke specialises in performing ultrasounds. There is a good chance that you will meet Aafke when you see the first image of your baby. Aafke has two beautiful daughters, born in 2018 and 2020. Together with her family, she enjoys their lovely home with a beautiful garden. Aafke has the greenest thumb of us all.

Marise has been working at Bakermat since 2018. After completing her midwifery training, she went on to obtain a Master’s degree in Midwifery. Marise is calm, friendly and extremely enthusiastic about her profession as a midwife. In practice, Marise performs ultrasounds and inserts IUDs. In March 2025, she became a mother for the first time to a son. Together with him and her husband, they enjoy the outdoors.
