A little bit about me...

Hey families!

My name is Kayla, but I prefer to go by Izzy or Isra. I’m a fun, artsy nanny with 10+ years of experience in NC, moving to Washington in January 2026. I love filling days with creativity: painting, crafting, music sessions, and lots of outdoor adventures.

I have been known for my Montessori and Waldorf vibes, encouraging independence, imagination, and hands-on learning. I’ve cared for multiple kiddos at once, supported children with special needs, and always aim to create a warm, inclusive space for everyone.

I try to be a good support pillar for parents, too, since it takes a village to raise our next generation, and we all need a little help sometimes! I have no issue doing meal prep or light cleaning.

I’ve got reliable transportation and a knack for planning awesome outings to parks, museums, libraries, swim and gymnastics classes, you name it! I am CPR + First Aid certified for infants through adults.

Can’t wait to meet the families I’ll get to grow with in WA!

"We cannot recommend our Izzy highly enough. She anticipated our needs without being asked and brought a calm, proactive, and trustworthy presence into our home. She began caring for our daughter when she was under six months old and focused not just on care, but on early childhood development. She helped our daughter safely learn to use stairs, walk, talk, and eat independently with a fork. Her daily routines included enriching outings like the library, park, and seasonal experiences such as sunflower fields and strawberry farms. Early on, she tracked feedings and diaper changes and documented special moments from the day. She was always punctual, dependable, and reliable, and we trusted her completely. She handled all child-related responsibilities and consistently went above and beyond by creating engaging sensory and learning activities. If asked to recommend her, our answer is simple: Run—don’t walk—and hire her immediately."

"Izzy was professional from the start! Her experience in childcare/nannying was very obvious, making me confident in her abilities to safely and lovingly care for my two year old son. Although he can take some time to warm up, Izzy has always remained patient with him. Izzy cared for my son in our home, two days a week and always showed up on time and ready to help! He has enjoyed her creativity. She’s always willing to do teach my son something during her time with him. She fills his day with crafts, baking, time at the library and even a park on a nice day. Izzy has been a blessing to our family and will always come highly recommended from us!"

"Kayla was a godsend for date nights & sick days! My little always looked forward to “hanging out” with her because she kept them consistently engaged in enriching activities, exercise, & really made her time babysitting in to quality time. We are sad to see her go because she’s become like family & has made a huge, positive impact on my baby."

"Kayla/Izzy was wonderful and reliable. She was always early and ready to start the day with smiles. During the year she worked for us, she primarily cared for our then-infant son and occasionally for our older daughter when she was not at school. We found her to be always polite, engaging with the children, and was always ready to pitch in and help on days we needed extra hands with errands. She kept a detailed log of diaper changes and bottle feedings, often took our son on walks around the neighborhood and to the community center, and even taught us some baby sign. I would recommend her 100%."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have briefly been a young toddler instructor during my time in Wilimgton, NC. Most of my childcare experience is through independent nannying and nannyshares.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love going to the library, planning fun picnics or scavenger hunts in the park, bringing in some of my instruments for musical days, painting or drawing, baking on rainy days, hanging out in museums, and partaking in local events in town.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important part about being a nanny, is being able to adapt to not only the family needs, but the needs of the individual child. Its important to be someone who they can rely on and trust, and to set a good standard as a role model, but at the end of the day, you have to be able to fit into the family unit which means having the ability to adapt to the unique needs they may have.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children with a wide range of special needs, from those with speech delays, to children with adhd, to children with autism, or sensory sensitivities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment with any child, is being able to see when things click in their mind, and you can see them actively learning and developing new skills that they can apply to the rest of their lives. Its always such a rewarding experience and is my favorite part of the job.

My name is Shayla, and I’m a responsible, caring 17-year-old with a passion for working with kids. I have experience with children from newborns to 13-year-olds. As the oldest of six siblings, including a newborn sister, I understand the patience, attention, and energy that kids need.

I’m looking for a family that values communication, kindness, and clear boundaries. If that sounds like you, I’d love to connect! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
