How to save xml data from an XmlDocument object into a SQL table using C#

my XML is as below

<employees> <employee  email="email1" dateofbirth="1900-01-01"  lastname="lastname1" firstname="firstname1" /> <employee  email="email2" dateofbirth="0001-01-01"  lastname="lastname2" middleinitial="2" firstname="firstname2" />  </employees>

And my table [dbo.Employee] in the DB has the columns below
