Lorenzo $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a passion for making connections with kids and helping them grow! My past “manny” (man-nanny) experience included caring for an infant, toddler, and two elementary students. These four boys are all diagnosed with high-functioning autism, which helped me discover another passion of mine - caring for those with special needs, which lead me into ABA Therapy and going to CSULB to get a degree in Child Behavior Science. I am also a certified Registered Behavior Technician. I’ve worked for a few ABA Therapy agencies. Most of my clients were children ages 3-8 diagnosed with autism. I enjoy seeing my clients reach their goals and expanding their cognitive and physical abilities. I also have experience coaching basketball for pre-teens with special needs and coaching women’s high school basketball for Valley Christian High School. I am a very fun, athletic, loving guy. I like to make kids laugh and gain confidence in themselves, whether that’s seeing a baby smile and babble or helping a kiddo learn to ride a bike. While most young men may be intimidated by babies or toddlers I’m instead the first to ask to hold the baby or ask the kiddo their name. My ABA Therapy experience really comes in handy when it comes to implanting rules, making sure there is consistency in behavioral expectations. In my personal time I like to play pickle ball and basketball. I also really enjoy playing board games or having a game night. I’m a natural competitor! My wife and I like to take our husky to the dog park or dog beach. I’m a bit of a goof ball and love to make others laugh!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
