A Utah babysitter has been charged with murder after the death of a 5-month-old girl, according to online jail records.

Paulina Carmona-Simbron, 47, was charged Friday and remains in Salt Lake County Jail without bond, records show. It was unclear whether she had an attorney to speak on her behalf.

On Oct. 13, emergency crews were called to Carmona-Simbron's Taylorsville home on a report of an unresponsive infant, identified as Aitana Aguilar, according to charging documents obtained by KSLTV.

Carmona-Simbron reportedly told police she heard the infant cough while sleeping in her crib just before the child stopped breathing. Doctors at Primary Children's Hospital determined the girl had "severe retinal hemorrhaging and severe 'tearing in the brain,'" the charging documents state.

Doctors told police that the baby had fewer than 72 hours to live due to her injuries. Aitana was pronounced dead the following day.

Carmona-Simbron told police she was an unlicensed day care provider, had not had any formal training in day care, but started watching children a couple of months ago and told family and friends “she wanted work taking care of children,” the charges state. She told police she had only watched the girl four times prior to that day...

Aitana’s parents told cops they found a bruise on the baby’s cheek after she was returned from Carmona-Simbron’s care in a prior instance. The babysitter told the parents their child had laid face down on a toy, which caused the bruise. However, a doctor who reviewed the medical records and a photo of the bruise said that reasoning was highly unlikely. “This injury would not have occurred from lying down prone, even if over an object,” the doctor said. “This finding does, however, elicit significant concern for underlying child physical abuse in the absence of an appropriate history.”

Rest in peace, little Aitana. :(
