Booked by 2 families in Lanham, MD

Hi, my name is Keyly. I’m a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over five years of hands-on experience as a daycare teacher, primarily working with infants and toddlers. In my role, I managed daily routines including diapering, bottle feeding, nap schedules, and potty training, while also creating and implementing engaging weekly lesson plans to support early childhood development. I have experience caring for children ranging from preschool through middle school age and have provided babysitting for families in settings such as summer care, sick care, and date nights. I’m comfortable assisting with light housekeeping, organizing, and laundry to help support your household. I am CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for every child in my care.

Keyly was wonderful caring for my baby while she was sick. She was reliable, attentive, patient, and very caring throughout the entire time. I really appreciated that she even brought her own activity to engage with her, which was such a thoughtful touch. Communication was easy, and she was very receptive to my baby’s needs and routine. I’d definitely recommend her to other families!

"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."

"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)."
