Hi, I’m Shay. I’m a dependable, patient, and attentive childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a date night sitter, occasional sitter, and live-in nanny, as well as in school settings, summer camps, and after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve supported more than 100 families, come highly recommended, and can provide strong references upon request. I have experience working with children across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and abilities, including children with disabilities and diverse support needs. I adapt easily to each child’s individual personality, learning style, and routine, and I bring patience, structure, and flexibility to every role. I approach childcare as a partnership with families, valuing clear communication, consistency, and mutual respect. I actively engage with children through play, activities, and daily routines rather than simply supervising, and I remain calm and attentive in all situations. I’m flexible with scheduling, dependable with time, and safety-focused at all times. I’m trained in first aid and emergency preparedness, and I stay present, responsive, and engaged throughout the day. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care that gives parents peace of mind and gives children a safe, supportive, and positive environment! I look forward to helping you & your family with caregiving needs. 😊

I am a true Mary Poppins! Just like Mary, I have been many things in my life, but being a teacher and nanny are my favorites. Originally from Germany (born and raised), I came here with my husband who was stationed in my hometown. As a career member of the AF, we moved all over the globe until he retired, and we settled here in CO. Children have always been my passion (I have two of my own), and it was logical for me to become a teacher. I taught middle school, 7th and 8th grade, while we were stationed in CA in language arts and social studies. I am a writer as well and have finished 3 novels. I love to exercise and power walk with my little pup, Helo, every day. I do pilates for core strength and dance (even when others watch). I have been a nanny for the past 11 years and worked with children of a wide range of ages (2 months 8 years), but I specialize in infants and toddlers. I love taking my charges outdoors for adventures or finding 'treasures' in the dirt. When the weather isn't up for it, I do art projects, building 'castles' inside or put up a fairy tree to invite the fae into the house (they bring good luck). Since I am a writer, not only do I read a lot myself, but I love to read with the children. Depending on the age, it's beneficial for them to discuss the book or story for comprehension or just for fun to get a different take on the stories. Children have a wonderful way of seeing things in a different light. They are always in the moment and can teach us so many wonderful things, things we have forgotten as adults. I am bi-lingual and love to introduce my language and culture to the children. The sooner you teach the little ones a different language, the better and the easier it is for them to learn it. Little kids' brains are like sponges; they soak up knowledge in an amazing rate. I also hold a degree in criminal research from Berlin/Germany; and degrees from UNO in English Literature and Victorian History.

Hello! I’m a childhood educator and nanny of 15 years. My backgrounds include early childhood education and developmental psychology. I encourage play centric environments. Some of my favorites are sensory play, crafting, STEM experiments, cooking with others, or an outdoor adventure for the day. I am comfortable aiding in potty training, developmental milestones, baby lead weaning, food sensitivities, and speech progression. I believe in creative curiosity as the foundation of interaction. I have ample experience from infancy to teens, with up to date CPR and first aid certifications. I also work in special needs communities. My work is focused in attachment style theory, positive reinforcement, and play based interaction. Other interests include milestone development from birth, and Montessori/Waldorf school programming with school aged kiddos. I enjoy herbalism, nature based play, climbing, and the great outdoors. My other certifications include infant mobility work, swim coaching, and youth exercise programming. I am a trauma informed provider with tons of experience in autistic, diabetic, and foster care communities. I aim to bring a sense of curiosity, acceptance and kindness to every interaction. Feel free to reach out for more info! :)

Emilianna is fantastic. My kids think she’s hilarious. She makes special projects and they really enjoy their time with her. I would recommend for families wanting a more hands on caregiver. The thought and detail she puts into things for the kids really is the best.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
