Bailey appeared in three matches for Panama at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship,[1][3] making 24 saves.[4] She won the tournament's Golden Glove award and was named to its Best XI.[5] Previously a midfielder, she was converted to goalkeeper by head coach Victor Suárez only a year before the tournament.[6]
Panama ended up fourth, advancing to a playoff against CONMEBOL side Argentina for a place in the 2019 Women's World Cup. In the 8th minute of the first leg Bailey saved a penalty from Estefanía Banini. The match finished 4-0 for Argentina, though, and after a 1-1 draw at home Panama was eliminated.
