About me

I’m Emilee, affectionately known as Nanny Emmy. I’m a career nanny with over thirty years of experience caring for children of all ages. For nearly the past decade, I’ve focused exclusively on newborn and postpartum care, supporting more than fifty families through one of the most important transitions of their lives. Working with families is not about showing up with a checklist. It is about walking into a home and immediately understanding what is needed. From the baby who is struggling to settle, to the parent running on empty, to the small details no one else has time to think about, I bring experience, confidence, and a listening ear. I provide a combination of newborn care and postpartum support, whether during the day, overnight, or both. My care is practical, intuitive, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Whether I am caring for your baby through the night, helping establish healthy sleep habits, or managing a few household tasks while you rest, my presence is intentional and my care is always tailored to your family’s needs. What sets me apart is not just experience. It is the ability to assess a situation, respond with purpose, and care for the family as a whole. I understand what recovery actually looks like. I understand what newborns need. And I know how to bring relief and routine into a home that feels stretched thin. My goal is to leave families feeling confident and capable without the guesswork. You already know you need the help. The next step is saying yes. Getting started is simple, and the support that follows brings real peace of mind. You can hand it off and breathe. I am ready when you are.

Service introduction

I prefer to meet families where they are. Whether that means relieving sleepless nights, creating opportunities to bond or recover after birth, or implementing structure in a home that suddenly feels chaotic. I'm available during the day, overnight, or both, depending on your family’s needs and lifestyle. I can travel to families nationwide based on availability and alignment.Whether you simply need a listening ear, guiding you through soothing techniques, or helping your baby learn to fall asleep independently, my goal is to bring clarity, confidence, and peace of mind that is lasting after I’ve gone.

I’ve witnessed the dedication and thought Emilee puts into everything, especially in supporting families. She’s the person others turn to for guidance on all things related to being a new mom (parent). It’s clear she genuinely wants to help and knows what she is talking about. It's easy to sleep through the night knowing the baby is in good hands.

I give Emilee five stars! She has the rare ability to bond with new borns, older children and parents. Emilee always has a calming caring effect on people and is always professional. If I ever have another family member needing her services I will book her immediately for them. Will recommend Emilee to anyone!
