My Story

Hi, I’m Emilea,

I am the founder of S.A.G.E Childcare Connect and Consulting! S.A.G.E stands for Sustainable, Active, Growth and development, Education and training. I work with parents of young children, helping them navigate early childhood through coaching and support. I also connect families with trusted, professional nannies. I’m Montessori trained and have been in the nanny industry for over ten years making my approach grounded in both experience and a deep passion for child development and psychology.

I believe that finding the right nanny is about more than just checking boxes — it’s about building a connection that helps your family thrive. I take the time to truly understand what you need so I can match you with someone who will care for your children as if they were their own.

“We connected with Emi about a year ago, looking for someone who could match the energy and curiosity of our 18-month-old son, Ryan. After only two sessions, Ryan became a fan of Emi. Now, Sunday mornings with Emi are the highlight of his weekends.

Emi went above and beyond our expectations. She created a playful, engaging routine tailored to Ryan’s development, constantly adjusting activities to match his growth milestones. She kept us updated with fun photos and thoughtful suggestions, always working with us to support Ryan’s learning and encourage positive behaviors during this important phase. We feel incredibly lucky to have Emi in Ryan’s life—and clearly, he feels the same way. She’s now proudly part of his bedtime “night-night” name list!”
