How to add UIView as child to SKNode?

As I have found out there is no easy way to add UIViews as children to SKNodes. I know there is a scene method didMoveToView, but I would like to make a custom text box, and I want to encapsulate all code about it there.
I have a separate class for TextBox (from SKNode), and it creates background and layouts itself, but as I found out SKLabelNode does not support multiline text and I need that.
I'm left with option showing my text box and separate UILabel over it in scene, but this breaks all incapsulation.

What options are available to me if I want to have custom text box made of SKNode?

Obvious option is placing UILabel above your SKView. You can also synchronize frame with some SKNode to be able to move the label using node manipulation.
