Lynsara $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m called Lynsara a Bachelors Degree Holder in Banking and Finance but yet a passionate caregiver and one who offers sanitation and household services. I Love standing in for families and Individuals who are either struggling with or have a need for a reliable and trustworthy caregiver for their loved ones. Ever since I was 14, I loved watching after infants and toddlers. As time went on, I’ve grown to enjoy assisting in household tasks which have nurtured my high sense of sanitation and organization skills. My responsibilities have included; cleaning, preparing meals, running errands, dropping off and picking up kids from school, folding and organizing closets, assisting with activities of daily living and hair braiding. Also, I am tech savvy and open to learning new skills which can better help me serve every/ any individual in today’s world. As much as I am comfortable with looking after kids, senior care would be a plus as I have quite greater experience in senior care after having looked after my grandparents and mom for a long time by driving them around, cooking and running errands. Though no particular allergies to pets, I would prefer working for families without any.

"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."

"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)."
