About Isabella R

I'm an
Individual
*Advanced Newborn & Infant Neurodevelopmental Regulation Care Specialist™* (0–12 Weeks) I work exclusively with newborns 0–12 weeks, providing hands-on neurodevelopmental stabilization through regulation-based care, feeding support, & early sleep rhythm protection in the most sensitive weeks of human life. My approach is fully neuroscience-aligned and critical to healthy & stable associations of attachment in a human being. I conduct precision-oriented, moment to moment nervous system co-regulation, utilizing focused, dynamic, mirror-neuron mapping over hours, days, and weeks of optimized wake & sleep, ensuring the utmost protection of long-term cognitive potential to flourish in a growing newborn. With 18 years of experience, I prioritize safety, newborn health, & attuned, individualized care. I integrate physiology, brain science, & relational health to curate the conditions for emotional stability, restorative sleep, cognitive progression, & confident parenting. Families notice clear shifts in regulation, feeding stability, sleep predictability, & overall household calm within the first phase of care. My Market Rate: $35/hour Daytime/Overnight/24-hour live in services available. Core Competencies • Attachment-centered newborn & infant care • Co-regulation & emotional safety • Cue-based, paced feeding support • Developmentally aligned sleep shaping • Newborn Behavioral Observation (NBO-informed) • Sensory-aware care & overstimulation prevention • Infant neurobiology & early brain development • Temperament-informed care • Trauma-aware infant mental health foundations • Proactive risk prevention • Calm, attuned presence • Reflective parent support Introduction Hello families, & thank you for your interest. I offer newborn & infant care that is calm, attuned, & grounded in current developmental research. Infancy is a neurological, emotional, & relational process of human development. A baby’s nervous system develops through connection, predictability, sensory protection, & responsive care. My background includes fast-track Nursing studies, advanced newborn developmental care, newborn behavioral research, & safety-critical work as an Infant & Toddler Pool Supervisor. I read subtle cues — stress signals, state shifts, sensory thresholds — & respond with precision. Parents often describe my care as grounding & stabilizing. I support families with clear communication, steadiness, & respect for your values, creating regulated environments for entire families. I work exclusively with families who begin with me in newborn infancy, with optional continuation later on by mutual agreement. Sleep Philosophy I do not practice traditional sleep training. My approach supports developmentally appropriate sleep shaping via nervous system regulation, sensory protection, & consistent co-regulation. In early infancy, sleep is neurological rather than behavioral. I support healthy sleep foundations by responding to cues, reducing overstimulation, & establishing predictable rhythms. Relational Foundations I work best in environments grounded in trust, clarity, & mutual respect. Shared responsibility & emotional steadiness align with how I support children & families. Parents kindly note: I offer professionalism, presence, & respect — & expect the same in return. I accept families aligned with warmth, relational health, & developmental attunement. Confidentiality, Data Collection & Reference Policy I operate within a reputation-based care ecosystem where current & past families are respected with discretion regarding their confidential data. Professional references, including the personal contact numbers of families I have served, form the living body of my professional network. They are not accessible to the general public for preliminary mass screening nor informal information gathering. My work is long-established within the Greater Toronto Area, built on enduring relationships with growing numbers of parents who continually beam in overwhelming pride to the high standard of care they entrusted me to provide their child with success. To this regard, outreach to private contact numbers of my families is handled in integrity & respect to my deeply treasured community. References are provided only after a care alignment is mutually confirmed, a family has formally concluded their selection process, & a thorough agreement of full alignment is ensured. This framework protects the privacy, time, & trust of the families I serve. Families accustomed to early-stage preemptive collection of sensitive details may find this approach unfamiliar. Care Alignment & Readiness Trial Ongoing care begins with a paid Care Alignment & Readiness Trial to ensure expectations, authority structure, & caregiving philosophy are fully aligned. Warmly, Isabella Rose Advanced Newborn & Infant Neurodevelopmental Regulation Care Specialist™ Creator of THE NEUROGENIC NEWBORN-INFANT CARE MODEL™

Recommendations

Isabella is a great nanny! Our family had the pleasure of having her as our nanny for our two children. She’s very down to earth, heart warming, and has a deep passion for taking care of children. The girls loved her, she made everything feel so much easier once she was around. I definitely recommend her to others

"We are incredibly grateful for the care and kindness you show my kids every time you are here watching them. Your patience, creativity, and dedication mean so much to our family. It's clear that you go above and beyond to make every visit special for them, and we truly appreciate everything you do."

Isabella has been a fantastic nanny/babysitter for my 14 month old son over the last five months. She has been very good with making sure he is happy, healthy and feels cared for.
Jonas K. - Jul 2024
Isabella provided our daughter with exceptional care, always respecting her boundaries with remarkable patience, empathy, and understanding. Her enthusiasm for nurturing children's development and curiosity is truly commendable. Beyond attending to our daughter's physical well-being, Isabella offered the emotional support that helped her grow more confident and sociable. Not only did Isabella consistently arrive punctually, often arriving earlier than expected and never late, but she also adhered to all instructions given, even if explained only once. Her commitment extended to providing our daughter with nutritious meals, demonstrating her thorough approach to her responsibilities. Isabella has become a cherished member of our family, and she is always welcome in our home. She has graciously accepted our invitations to birthday parties, and our daughter looks forward to seeing her each time. We cannot speak highly enough of Isabella and enthusiastically recommend her. Please feel free to reach out if you need any additional information. Sincerely, Andrea Fontenelle and Rafael Almeida

Isabella has cared for my 2 boys (ages 6 and 3) since June 2024. She does school/daycare/camp pick-ups, accompanies the kids to the park, prepares simple afternoon snacks/meals, and provides playtime supervision. Isabella also kindly supports with kids' laundry and light cleaning of children's areas (play room, bedroom, and kitchen after meals). Isabella is incredibly responsible, thinks ahead, and is absolutely reliable. She's always on-time (often a little early) and communicates clearly and often to ensure expectations are aligned and that I'm aware of any challenges or deviations from the plan. Her Healthcare training comes in quite handy as she's very cleanliness and safety conscious. Most importantly, Isabella is truly invested in supporting the emotional and developmentally appropriate learning for kids. Her calm, gentle demeanor and seemingly limitless patience makes her a treasured asset to my family and an essential member of my childrearing village. I cannot recommend Isabella highly enough.

Isabella is punctual, energetic, nurturing, communicative, and beloved by our 3.5-month-old baby. Isabella has been working with us since our LO was just 3 weeks old.
Precious M. - Nov 2024
Isabella has a natural talent with children. We tried three other sitters before Isabella but I knew from the moment we saw Isabella that we needn’t look any further. Since day one, her dedication to our child's well-being and development was evident in everything she did, from reading books to creating educational games, from cleaning to feeding meals. Isabella established a gentle and effective routine. She also honors our family's schedule and norms. She is way more knowledgeable than most new parents. We’ve benefitted from her insights—nutritional, behavioral and emotional—on a regular basis, which have been just as valuable as the care she has provided.
Yurou Z. - Jan 2025
I highly recommend Isabella who has cared for my children for 4 years. She is responsible, reliable, and truly caring. My kids always feel happy and safe with them. Isabella engages the children with fun, educational, creative activities and handles any situation with patience and calm. She is punctual, trustworthy, and communicate well with both kids and parents. Any family would be lucky to have Isabella as their babysitter.
Emily Q. - Sep 2025
To know Isabella is to know love. She is not just a nanny or caregiver but a kindred spirit who’s become apart of my little family. As a single mother of two special needs girls navigating parenthood alone I couldn’t have asked for a more loving, caring, attentive, detail-oriented, punctual, empathetic, respectful, kind, honest and gentle person. I cannot say enough good things about Isabella but what I can say is that having her in our lives brings me peace, puts me at ease and reassures me that the two most important things in my life are in the best of hands. Thank you Isabella for your love and support.
Mary L. - Sep 2025
We had the absolute privilege of having Isabella with our family for the past year, and she has been nothing short of extraordinary. Her knowledge and intuition when it comes to caring for children are invaluable, and she always puts our daughter’s emotional well-being first while ensuring she is safe and cared for physically. She has been an incredible role model to me even as a first-time mother, offering guidance, reassurance, and support in ways that I will always treasure. She consistently prepares wonderful, nutrient-packed meals and pays close attention to our daughter’s unique needs each day. Her kindness, gentleness, and attentiveness shine through in everything she does. Isabella is also very receptive to feedback and goes above and beyond to ensure our family feels comfortable and confident in her care, checking in often and asking thoughtful questions to remain engaged and aligned with us. What stands out most is the love and care she has poured into our daughter’s first year of life, a truly critical time for growth and development. It saddens me deeply, and makes me emotional, to think about no longer having her constant presence and care. The impact she has had on our daughter, and on us as a family, has been immeasurable. We know she will forever be a part of our hearts, and she will be so deeply missed. We are incredibly grateful for all that Isabella has given us and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family fortunate enough to welcome her into their lives.

We’ve had such a great experience with Isabella. She takes amazing care of our 8-month-old and has truly become part of our family. She’s punctual, flexible, and very knowledgeable about baby care. Hygiene and safety are always her top priorities, and she keeps everything organized and clean. She’s reliable, loving, and works seamlessly with us as a team. We feel lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to any family.
Shashank M. - Nov 2025
Best with newborns, highly recommend. Had bad experiences prior to her, wish I found her first. Best in toronto.
Megn M. - Jan 2026
My Wife and I had a new born that Isabella took care at night of for the first period of its life. It’s not hard to recommend Isabella. She is diligent, knowledgeable, compassionate, punctual and proved to highly reliable. Isabella is a kind person who loves babies and knows her job well. She applied her skills every night by feeding and soothing our baby son as was needed. She kept him clean and was careful with him in every way. She knew all the proper procedures to ensure his safety and was prompt and thorough when reporting to us the nights happenings which involved feedings and bowel movements in detail, that she provided via a written document. I have no problem whatsoever recommending Isabella and would hire her again in the event we have another child.
James and Ginah K. - Apr 2026
Isabella is an amazing nanny! Reliable, trustworthy, and dependable. I am the father of two daughters who are on the spectrum (ages 5-7), so not exactly your average experience when it comes to babysitting. However Isabella’s skills and experience enabled her to look after them without a hitch. They both loved her from the beginning and they formed a strong bond almost immediately. In the two years that we’ve known and retained Isabella, she’s proven herself to be remarkably capable. From maintaining feeding schedules, to pick-up/drop-off to school she’s able to do it all. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone seeking a tremendously capable and professional candidate for their family’s needs!
