Booked by 2 families in Lancaster, SC

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve been babysitting since middle school and have spent years caring for children of all ages, from newborns through teenagers. I also helped care for my nieces from infancy, so I’m very comfortable with bottles, diaper changes, naps, meals, and all the little routines that come with caring for young children. I have a B.S. in Biology and spent eight years working in chemical manufacturing before taking a break to live in Barcelona and study Spanish through full immersion. It might seem like an unusual path, but it taught me to stay calm, adapt quickly, and enjoy learning—qualities I bring with me when caring for kids. My favorite part of childcare is getting to watch kids learn and discover new things. Whether we're reading books, doing crafts, exploring outside, or just turning everyday moments into little learning opportunities, I love encouraging their curiosity while making sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. Childcare: Newborns through teens, including feeding, diapering, naps, school pickup/drop-off, homework help, crafts, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning activities. Pet care: Dogs, cats, and other household pets. I'm happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and making sure your pets stay comfortable while you're away. House sitting: Bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out trash, rotating lights, and helping keep your home secure and well cared for while you're gone. (I also don't mind light child- or pet-related tidying as part of a sitting job.) I'm dependable, patient, and easygoing. I believe in following each family's routines and parenting style, communicating clearly, and creating a calm environment where children and pets feel safe and comfortable. I was previously Red Cross trained in CPR and First Aid (certification has since lapsed), and safety is always a priority. Whether you're looking for a regular nanny, an occasional sitter, pet care, or a trusted house sitter, I'd love the chance to meet you and see if we're a good fit.

Very professional, bubbly, and a big help.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
