She eased a lot of my fears and helped get me through the toughest parts.
I came in for a scheduled induction. I was beyond nervous and had no clue what to expect.  Emmee was with me both nights. She made sure to give me in-depth details of what to expect. She eased a lot of my fears and helped get me through the toughest parts. When it came to the delivery part, she was by my side the entire way. It was an intense labor that could've ended very poorly, but she encouraged me through it all. She stood by my side when my baby came out in shock and had me worried; he wasn't going to make it. My labor experience was a good story because of her. There were so many points I wanted to give up, and she encouraged me through them.  She went above and beyond. I am forever grateful for her.

Emmee was part of the team that was in the room for my wife's delivery. As first-time parents, we were extremely nervous about the labor process and post-partum care.  Emmee took the time to explain everything she was doing, step by step, and why she was doing it. She was willing to sit down and answer any questions we had and was happy to be there for us during our unknown journey. It is evident she loves her job and enjoys being there for the mom, the baby, and the family. She was an integral part of easing our journey into parenthood.
