Lois $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello Parents, My name is Lois and I love taking care of children! I'm a native New Yorker, but have come to call San Diego home for many years now! Why hire me? Years before obtaining my bachelor's degree in Behavioral Sciences, I had acquired 30 units in Early Childhood Development. I had received a Family Support Specialist certification. I was a foster mom for five years. The first two years I received "my babies" directly from the hospital! I had toddlers through thirteen years old in my care. For approximately 1.5 years I worked for the Sweetwater Union High School District, including middle school. I helped to facilitate small groups of five children with their reading comprehension. I find tutoring children to be very satisfying, especially during the times I was able to bring children's grades back up to speed; grade level. The greatest compliment I ever received was given to me by a fourth grade child who said to me "Miss Lois, you inspire me!! While new to Urbansitter, I have a 5 star rating from another platform! I'm available during the daytime hours, Monday - Friday. I am interested in working 15-25 hours per week and prefer being paid in cash. I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, [removed].

"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)."
