Paphawarin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Paphawarin, but you can call me Eve. I’m a nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Thailand. I have been working with children, especially those with special needs, since 2019. In September 2022, I moved to the U.S. as an au pair, caring for a 7-year-old girl and her sweet 6-year-old brother on the autism spectrum. In July 2024, I moved out and began working as a full-time nanny. I cared for a little girl who is now 2 years old, but she was 18 months when I started. My daily responsibilities included: • Preparing healthy meals • Diaper changes, bath time, nap and bedtime routines • Washing bottles and doing the baby’s laundry • Driving her to storytime, the library, museums, Art class,gymnastic class and other activities • Supporting educational and sensory play for her development • Potty training assistance She started preschool at the end of August, so I am now looking for a new family to support. I have my own car, which makes me flexible and reliable for transportation needs. I truly love working with children and would be happy to bring my experience, warmth, and reliability to your family. I hope to hear from you soon! Warm regards, Eve

"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)."
