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

“Here's a review for Jane: Jane has been wonderful with our kids, and we feel so lucky to have found her! She's organized, friendly, and incredibly warm. Our 2-year-old is usually very reserved with strangers, but warmed up to her right away, and our 4-year-old absolutely adores her — she even saved the sticker Jane gave her. They spend their days playing with lots of toys and activities, both indoors and at the playground. Jane is also very responsive, keeping us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. We couldn't recommend her more!”

"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."

"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)."
