About The Blissful Bebe:
As a Newborn Care Specialist, Emily Smith understands that nearly all parents struggle with one main thing: SLEEP! After extensive research, professional training, and direct mentorship under a world-leading sleep training expert, she has developed a fail-proof training strategy for baby’s restful slumber, which means a better snooze for the whole family. That's why she has added sleep consultancy to her compassion-driven postpartum services. Emily introduces evidence-based methods customized to your needs and preferences. As she teaches you how to regain control of sleep, you can expect world-class support while you implement the plan one step at a time.

The Philosophy:
When Emily was an early childhood educator, she noticed that the difference between kids who thrived in school and those who struggled was their ability to self-soothe and practice independence. Throughout her professional journey, she has observed how much children’s sleep habits can make or break these vital skills. The Blissful Bebe philosophy rests upon the concept that teaching babies how to sleep independently creates a solid foundation from which they will blossom into healthy, confident beings. Emily uses
developmentally-appropriate self-soothing techniques to train little ones to become comfortable with
falling asleep, staying asleep, and falling back to sleep when they wake too soon. Simultaneously, she educates parents on how to guide their children toward effective naptime and bedtime behavior by empowering their self-soothing abilities. Of course, there is no “one size fits all” solution for this endeavor, which is why Emily tailors the approach to the individuals she serves. Each plan she creates encompasses the family’s goals and their bundle of joy’s unique personality. In this way, any neurotypical child can learn how to develop these valuable skills, which creates harmony and balance for all!


About Emily Smith:
Emily discovered her heartwarming passion for supporting babies, parents, and families at just twelve years old, when her twin brothers were born, instantly making her a caregiver. From then on, she knew she was here to play a positive and influential role in the health and wellness of whole households. Working as a nanny through high school and college eventually gave way to her enrollment in Teach for America, a prestigious program that places talented young professionals in classrooms around the country to foster the closing of the achievement gap in underprivileged communities.

The Blissful Bebe is the product of Emily’s fifteen years of experience in delivering unparalleled family
care services as a professional nanny, household manager, early childhood educator, Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, and now as a sleep consultant. She implements a proactive approach to her support and guidance, which allows her treasured clients to cultivate a strong, successful future for themselves. With genuine concern for and dedication to those she works with, Emily provides extraordinary in-home and virtual postpartum services. She can’t wait to get to know your sweet family and help them grow into something blissfully, functionally, wholesomely well!

Testimonials

Here's what past clients have to say:
"When I met Emily, I had a VERY strong intuition that she was the right caregiver for my child. It was her demeanor, the way she looked me in the eye, her clear and direct honesty, her credentials, her vibe. And every time she was in the presence of my child and cared for her, she proved herself time and time again that she was incredibly trustworthy. Our continual conversations of my child’s development were like a salve to my soul because I didn’t have a co-parent until I met Emily. I just knew she was the one for my family!"
— Natalie
"Emily has truly been a God send! I don't know where I would be or how little sleep I would have without her supporting me and my little baby girl. Her knowledge, honesty, grace, and lack of judgement has really transformed my experience with a newborn. I feel much more confident in advocating for myself and my baby at her daycare. Knowing wake windows and schedule consistency and all the nuances of infant sleep is not something my brain can manage so having her help me and remind me of tools and tricks to get my baby to sleep and allow the entire house to have restful sleep has really transformed the last few months. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She is the sweetest person and is super knowledgeable and really just wants the best for babies and families!"
— Allyson
"Working with Emily was an absolute dream! We have three kids under the age of 5. My husband and I were able to successfully sleep train our first two but had a hard time being consistent with our third. We hired Emily to help us sleep train our baby when he was 7 months old. Emily is upbeat, loving, and personable and she put our minds at ease with our first meeting. She cares deeply about her job and the families she works with and is extremely knowledgeable. It was very important for my husband and I to hire someone who would work WITH us without being too rigid. Emily was a great fit for our family, open to tweaking anything that didn’t work for us. Within a week, Emily had our stubborn little guy sleeping through the night (and with minimal tears). It was important for us that he get some comfort during his night wakings and we figured out a system that worked for him and for us. We highly recommend Emily for your sleep training needs!"
— Dana
"Emily is THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY. Without hesitation, and without ANY exaggeration- I would have died without her. Or put into a looney bin. Quite frankly, I couldn’t give her a better reference if someone paid me to. Emily is everything a mother needs with a newborn. She is unbelievably kind, gentle, respectful, professional, caring, honest, loyal, helpful, informative, supportive, and genuine. She will forever be a part of my baby’s beginnings and I think my lucky stars that she was brought to us. She is the reason I’m happy, well rested, confident in my abilities as a new mom and above all grateful for my time with her. Any mom would be insanely lucky to have her!."
— Rachel
"I am writing to endorse Emily Smith as an newborn care specialist. I have known Emily for over six years during which time she has often cared for my 3 children, including overnights. Emily cared for my youngest when she was an infant, and I always knew (and still know) that my children are in capable hands when they are under her supervision. Emily is highly organized, dependable and caring. She has a teacher’s background and always thinks of activities appropriate to each child’s age and stage. She has a calming presence, is patient and even keeled. Emily is not easily ruffled or agitated! She is trustworthy, a self-starter and reliable. She will excel caring for newborns and will be a delightful presence in any home! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. "
