We feel incredibly lucky to have found Adchanakan (who goes by Jay), whom our other trusted nanny introduced to us. She has been an absolute gem for our family. Jay has a unique talent for creative arts and crafts that our child absolutely adores—every session with her turns into a mini art workshop, and our home is now filled with the most delightful and imaginative creations. In addition to being fantastic with our child, Jay goes above and beyond with household tasks. She’s wonderfully organized and has taken on folding clothes, laundry, and other small chores with great care and efficiency, making our lives so much easier. Whether you’re looking for a full-time, part-time, or date-night nanny, we wholeheartedly recommend Jay. She’s reliable, kind, and an all-around wonderful addition to any household.

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I’m Jasmine! I truly love working with kids and supporting families. I’ve been working with children for over a decade and am currently a substitute kindergarten teacher. I have experience in both general and special education, and am passionate about creating fun, safe, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. I also have four years of senior caregiving experience. My journey started at twelve years old as a camp counselor in training for community service. By sixteen, I became a camp counselor, while also babysitting for local families and earning my CPR certification. Since then, I’ve continued to build meaningful relationships with seniors, families and children primarily ages 5 and up. When babysitting, I enjoy arts and crafts, board games, park and museum outings, and helping with homework. I love incorporating creativity and curiosity into my care. In my free time, I enjoy reading, journaling, painting, and drawing; hobbies that often inspire the activities I bring to kids.

Jasmine helped watch my daughter and was really sweet with her. She also helped me with some chores and projects I had around the house. She was a great 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)."
