Loren $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Loren, and I’m a sophomore at Cal State Fullerton. I offer pet sitting, child care, and household services. I’ve helped care for my grandma and my little sister, so I’m used to being patient, responsible, and present. I’m comfortable stepping in where help is needed, whether that’s sticking to routines or just being an extra set of hands. I love animals and enjoy spending time with pets, from walks and feeding to playtime and keeping them company. I can also help around the house, run errands, and provide rides to school, appointments, or activities

"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."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
