Hi, I’m Lolis!  I am open to all work, from babysitting to full-time nanny positions. While I am new to Urbansitter, I am not new to caregiving! I have over seven years of experience. I love children and care for them as if they were my own. I have immense respect for the fact that you are entrusting me with your child, and I do not take it for granted. For the past few years my work has included full time nannying for a child 6 months to 2.5 years old, as well as some part time nannyshare work. In that role, I managed all aspects of care - feeding, sleep, play, and socialization. When I am caring for your child, I tailor the experience to the family. I am very easily reachable, and will send you updates and pictures if you want. Feel free to contact me at any time to see how things are going! Have a high-energy toddler? I am happy to match their energy and take them to the park to run around and play. Is your child in the mood to stay indoors? I’d love to stay in and play with them. Does your baby have trouble sleeping in their crib? I will let them sleep in my arms to make sure that they get the rest they need. Nothing brings me more joy than watching children learn new things. I love being with them every step of the way and seeing them grow and achieve things on their own. I enjoy supporting their learning, and celebrating every accomplishment.

Lolis is a fantastic nanny and babysitter. She worked for us for two years while our son was 6 months to 2.5 years old. She still babysits fir us frequently, as our son loves her and we want to maintain the relationship. She is punctual, communicative, and professional. For the children, she is both loving and energetic. Any family would benefit from hiring her.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
