If you mean to say 'as if' , use 'tankou'
example:
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Mwen sonje sa tankou se te yè.

Between 'tankou' and 'menm jan ak', tankou it will be your best choice when you mean 'such as'.
example:
A important person like myself, ...
Yon moun enpòtan tankou'm, ...

If you want to have a contracted pronoun after the prep (as in: He's tall like me → Li wo tankou'm.), use tankou. You may not use a contracted pronoun after menm jan ak, unless you're from North Haiti. (People from northern Haiti naturally use their pronouns a little different).
Expressions,in Haitian Creole, that are use to say similar to, like, equal to, as, same as, resembling, just like:
tankou (like, similar to, equal to, as, such as, just like)
Menm jan ak (same way as, the same as, same as)
Menm jan avèk (same way as, the same as, same as)
kòm (like, similar to, as)
kou (like, similar to, as)
kon (like, similar to, as)
