My Story

While I have over a decade of experience in childcare at-large, I spent over five years working as a full-time, professional, nanny. Extensively experienced in the early years, I've made a career out of helping families thrive.

As a CACHE certified Newborn Care Specialist and Certified Professional Postpartum Doula, I'm honored to support families in Southern and Midcoast Maine as they navigate the tender postpartum season through overnight newborn care.

Having Emma's help when our twins were released from the NICU was invaluable. We always looked forward to the nights she was there, and felt completely confident that our babies were in the best hands. She is incredibly proactive, communicative, and a joy to be around. She never hesitated to go the extra mile and tidy up around the house, throw a load of laundry in, or help our toddler out.

If you're on the fence about hiring her, do it!!
