Hi! I’m Mariana, a warm, caring, and reliable nanny with 9+ years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, children and teens. I love helping families feel supported and at ease, and I enjoy creating a joyful, nurturing environment where children can learn, explore, and express themselves through arts and crafts, singing, dancing, storytelling, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning moments. I’ve worked as a nanny in the U.S. for almost 8 years in both home and daycare settings, supporting daily routines, meals and hygiene, learning activities, and safe, engaging play. Families describe me as patient, dependable, flexible, and easygoing and I truly see working with children as a gift that fills my life with curiosity, kindness, and joy. Thanks for reading my profile. I look forward to meeting your family and helping your children grow, learn, and feel loved in a safe, happy environment! 💛

Hello family, My name is "Jane" or you can call me "Tanya" and I'm from Thailand. I'm 29 years old. Dependable, honest, caring, trustworthy, organized, respectful, positive are all words that I would use to describe myself. Also I'm a non smoker or dont drink. I have 5 years+ experiences at daycare in Thailand and I just finished 1 year in Au pair in America program. Now, I work as a nanny in Bay area almost 2 years. I have been working with a lot of children including infants - toddler. I also have experiences with baby who has food allergies, reflux and helmet therapy. Also, I know how to do CPR, fully vaccinated and I have my own car with clean record. I work well with children and always treat them like they are my own. I enjoy being part of a child's growth. My goal as a Nanny is to have the children's best interest in mind, make sure the children are safe, clean and having fun while also learning. I'm a nanny who full of energy, creative and can organise activities, arts and crafts and educational activities etc. but I would love to follow your instruction as well. I also can do a lot of duties and take care of all things related to the baby, including diaper change, food prep, play time, naps, baby clothes laundry and take the baby out on walks etc. Not only am I patient, caring and nurturing, I am also extremely organized and very detailed when it comes to work. I'm pet friendly and have the flexibility to work and can do extra hour if you need help. I have a lot of family who can be my references, I can also provide it to you upon request. Please feel free to talk to me. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your baby. Thank you for your time. I look forward to talking to you! :) Sincerely yours, Jane

Jane has been coming 3 times a week for a couple of weeks now to take care of our daughter and also help out in a few home chores. She is really very good at taking care of my daughter. In fact my daughter listens to her and enjoys playing with her. She is very clean and always cleans up areas once they are done playing and eating etc. she is always on time which I really appreciate. It has been great to work with her and I would highly recommend her.

"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)."
