Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating safe, positive environments for children and families. I have experience working with children through my background as a Child and Youth Program Assistant, where I helped supervise activities, support daily routines, encourage positive behavior, and create a welcoming space for kids of different ages and personalities. I’m someone who understands the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for children. I always strive to make kids feel comfortable, supported, and heard while also making sure parents feel confident and at ease.

Booked by 1 family in Dowell, MD

Hi, I’m Eliza! I’m the oldest of four sisters, so taking care of little ones has been a part of my life from a young age! I have hands-on experience with children of different ages. I cared for a newborn for almost a year and also looked after a 7-year-old girl for a year. Currently, I work full-time caring for a newborn and a toddler, but I’m available to weekends and weeknights babysitting opportunities. I’m certified in CPR and have completed a specialized course in newborn care. I have experience with everything from feeding, bathing, and playing to putting children to sleep and driving them safely when needed. I truly love working with babies and toddlers. I believe each stage of childhood is special, and I’m well-prepared to support and care for children with love, patience, and responsibility. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and experienced to care for your little ones, I’d be happy to help!

Eliza was wonderful; she arrived right on time, got the kids fed, and even came prepared with a fun activity (balloons to make balloon animals), which our kids absolutely loved and are already begging for her to come back. What impressed us most is that she successfully put both kids to bed, which can be genuinely challenging in our house and is where many babysitters struggle. She was also very communicative both before the job and throughout the evening, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!

"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
