I graduated from E.O. Smith High School in 2020. I spent two years in college, but have since stepped away and into full-time work. I enjoy working with children and animals because I love taking care of others and creating bonds with different families and people. I have babysat and housesat for various families since I was 15 years old. The age range for kids I have taken care of is 3-10.

Emma has done a great job taking care of our two dogs and one cat. She is an animal lover! One of our dogs is 50lbs and the other is 90lbs.

Kayla Willington
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! My name is Kayla! Teaching/caretaking is absolutely my calling! I can’t remember a time it wasn’t! Beyond taking my first CPR and babysitting class at 11, to having a sister 12 years younger, to fulfilling all my high school volunteer hours in the church nursery, I have spent 14 years professionally working with children ages 6 weeks to 18 years in a variety of settings, including: Early Childhood Education facilities, as a supervisory camp counselor for GT middle/high schoolers, and even as a teacher at a farm school! The list goes on, so please ask me for details! I heavily lean into Love and Logic practices to create respectful, joyful, and secure relationships with kiddos that inspire social-emotional regulation and the confidence to make good choices. I am a certified ECE Lead Teacher, Level II in the state of Colorado. My most recent CPR certification expired this past February— I am willing to get this renewed and already intend to for my daughter’s safety! My husband, 1.5 yr old daughter, and our whole lot of animals moved to Connecticut from Colorado back in October. We do not have family here and have been working on building our new community and getting settled in our new home! It’s been a true gift to be able to stay at home with my daughter for the last year and a half. However, I am ready to return to my passion in a different, but more personal, capacity— as a nanny! Ideally, I am looking for a position in which I would be able to include my daughter. She will still be in my full time care, as my husband works and commutes long hours. I truly can’t wait to meet you and your family!

"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
