Emilee Abel

31 years of experience

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.

Emilee has been a joy to work with! Her professionalism and warm spirit is greatly appreciated and much needed in this industry. Any family/household would be lucky to have her!

Carmen Johnson

2 years of experience

I’m Carmen, a birth and postpartum doula living in Arlington, TX with my husband and two daughters. Birth work and bringing more humanity to maternity care in the U.S. has been a passion of mine since I first began my motherhood journey over ten years ago. Now more than ever, doulas play a critical role in helping ensure positive birth and postpartum outcomes for all birthing persons, where they feel empowered and fully supported in every scenario. I look forward to nurturing and supporting you throughout your birth and postpartum journey and beyond.

I truly cannot imagine my birth experience without Carmen! Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions I made. From pregnancy through postpartum, she cared for me in a way that felt both professional and deeply personal. During pregnancy, she checked in often, answered my questions with patience, and helped me feel calm and prepared instead of anxious and overwhelmed. During labor, she was steady, grounded, and completely tuned in to me. She basically took the lead on positioning me and guiding my movements in the hospital. She was constantly adjusting me into thoughtful, intentional positions that helped my labor progress and the nurses were following her suggestions. That gave me so much confidence. I didn’t have to think. I didn’t have to manage anything. I could just focus on resting and trusting the process because she was fully present and advocating for what my body needed!! And then postpartum… she didn’t disappear. She showed up. She nurtured. She cared. She even made the most amazing dinner for my family that we all enjoyed which, as a newly postpartum mom, felt like the biggest gift!! It wasn’t just about birth support. It was about being mothered while I was becoming a mother again. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, calm, non-judgmental, and truly in your corner no matter what your birth looks like she is that person. I felt safe and supported, and TRULY nurtured every step of the way. I’m so grateful for her!!!🤍

Cortni Simon

5 years of experience

At Precious Jewels, we believe that every mother is precious and every journey into motherhood deserves to be nurtured with care and love. We provide compassionate care that focuses on your emotional well being, physical recovery, and confidence as a parent. We are dedicated to empowering women, by providing culturally competent care that honors their unique experiences.

We had an incredible experience working with Cortni as our birth doula for the delivery of our first child. In the weeks leading up to labor, she was excellent at communicating with us and made sure we always felt informed, supported, and prepared. She even followed up with me after each of my doctor’s appointments which really helped ease a lot of my anxiety as a new mom. Cortni’s background as a registered nurse makes her stand out amongst other doulas. Her medical knowledge of labor and birth was so valuable as she was able to read and explain all of the hospital monitors and machines and clearly communicate what was happening every step of the way. Having her there helped me stay calm, grounded, and focused on my baby and my body during labor. It also allowed my husband to fully focus on supporting me, knowing Cortni was there to help us understand everything that was happening medically. We are so grateful for her presence and support and cannot recommend Cortni highly enough to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly exceptional birth doula.

Tabitha Israel

6 years of experience

Hello! My name is Tab’itha, better known as Tabby, and I’m a passionate certified professional midwife currently residing in Mesquite, Texas. I was born and raised in the Stop 6 area of Fort Worth, TX, and I am a proud mother of three teenage girls. From a young age, I always wanted to be a "baby doctor." My grandmother would often say, "You will be a doctor, and your sister will be a lawyer." Although I encountered quite a few roadblocks and detours along the way, I eventually found my way back to what my grandmother had always believed in, but in a way that resonates with me even more—becoming a midwife. I later discovered that midwifery was in my blood; my great-grandmother was a trusted midwife in her small community in Mississippi, which further inspired my journey. I graduated from Southwest Tech with an associate degree in Health Science and Midwifery in December 2024 and passed my NARM exam in April 2025, becoming fully licensed as a midwife in Texas. I am currently finishing up my Bachelor’s in Nursing at Arizona College, further enhancing my skills and knowledge in healthcare. My journey into birth work began in 2018 when I trained as a birth doula through DONA. As a doula, I have attended over 150 in-hospital and out-of-hospital births. When COVID peaked, I was fortunate enough to continue support in the hospital. It was during this time that I realized I needed to acquire the education and skills to become a community midwife sooner than I had originally planned. During my schooling, I attended an additional 95 births and worked with several well-respected midwives and OB-GYNs in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, gaining invaluable experience. I have also acquired skills and experience as a bereavement and cesarean/VBAC support specialist, allowing me to provide comprehensive care to families during significant moments in their lives. I believe in the power of compassionate care and informed choices, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for my clients. My end goal is to become a certified nurse midwife and nurse practitioner, bringing holistic and woman-centered care to communities that lack representation, including the area where I grew up. As an avid homeschooler, I enjoy engaging with my daughters in their education while also finding joy in my hobbies such as sewing, crafts, hosting workshops for young girls, and assisting in the offices I hold in my church. My goal is to continue growing in my practice while providing exceptional care to those I serve.

Tabitha is such an amazing birth worker, I met her when she was a doula and in the beginning stages of midwifery.The way she educated myself as well as my husband showed us that she was really passionate about the profession that she is in. I highly recommend any family to get under her care. Your amazing Tabby keep shining!

Savannah Gomez

3 years of experience

I’m Savannah, a certified birth doula, lactation support, and advocate for empowering birth experiences. My journey into birth work began with my own pregnancies. One that left me feeling unheard, and another that healed me and changed my perspective. After experiencing how crucial support, education, and advocacy are, I knew I wanted to help other women feel confident, informed, and supported during their births. Your Birth, Your Voice ! I believe birth should be a respected and personal experience. Too often, mothers are told what to do instead of being given the information to make their own decisions. That’s why I’m committed to: * Educating mothers about their choices * Offering unbiased, evidence-based support * Helping families navigate birth and postpartum with confidence You deserve to be heard, and your birth should reflect your voice. Whether you’re planning a hospital, birth center, or home birth, I’m here to support and encourage you every step of the way.

Because of Savannah, I had the birth I wanted to have. She listened and remembered everything I said, going into detail in our conversations with me, making sure I knew that I could make my birth beautiful. Being so supported leading up to my birth was essential. This translated into my natural delivery by giving me the confidence to listen to my body. She is so incredibly gifted, I cannot imagine giving birth without her there.

Melinda Pawloski

15 years of experience

Hello! I'm Melinda, wife to Seth, and mother to Abigail, Luke, Keturah, Naomi, Isaac, Elijah, and Mattias. While my family lived in South Africa(2018-2019), I was blessed to become a certified doula through their WOMBS (women offering mothers birth support) program. Along with in-person classes, I experienced hands-on doula opportunities with laboring women in 2 different hospital locations in Johannesburg. I believe this experience opened my heart to truly seeing the importance of having a strong support system during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. Children are a blessing from the Lord and every mother deserves the best through her pregnancy/delivery. I personally have experienced 3 hospital births, 2 birth center deliveries, and 2 home births. I am here to support you and help you make the most memorable and peaceful birth possible. If you are pregnant and would like the support of a doula, please reach out to me. I would love to meet you and see if I am the right doula for you.

From the moment we met Melinda she felt like an old friend. She was always there to answer any question we had. Her warmth and calm nature eased my anxiety as a first time mom and that chemistry carried into the labor room. Our baby boy came a month early with no complications. We weren’t as prepared as we wanted to be, but Melinda was right beside me and my husband helping apply counter pressure and helping me move into different positions. We achieved our goal of an all natural birth and wouldn’t have changed anything! Thank you sweet Melinda for being our guide during this beautiful journey into parenthood. 💛
