Hi! I’m Shayla—a responsible, warm-hearted caregiver with years of experience working with children, seniors, pets, and busy households. I’m currently a college student majoring in Political Science, and I’ve always balanced my studies with my love for helping others. I’ve babysat for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I’m great at creating a safe, structured, and fun environment. I also have experience assisting with elderly care, walking and feeding pets, and helping out around the house with light cleaning, meal prep, and organization. People often describe me as dependable, patient, and easy to talk to. I’m CPR-certified, great at multitasking, and I always show up with a positive attitude and a willingness to help. Whether I’m planning creative activities, helping with bedtime, or simply being a steady presence, I take pride in making families feel supported and at ease. I’d love the opportunity to care for your loved ones and help your household run a little smoother!

Shayla was amazing! My toddler loved her and was so sad when she left. She was on time, kind, helpful, sent me pictures and communication was great! I will be hiring her again 100% — thank you, Shayla!

"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."

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
