medjina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Medjina. I’m a sophomore at Boston College studying Psychology and Human Development, and caring for others has always been something that comes naturally to me. I have experience in both childcare and healthcare. I currently work as a clinical assistant at Dana Farber, and before that I worked at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Those roles have taught me how to be responsible, patient, calm, and attentive, especially in busy or high stress situations. I am used to following routines, prioritizing safety, and communicating clearly with families. I also have a lot of experience working with children. I come from a big family and have spent many years babysitting younger cousins, including toddlers. I’ve always enjoyed being around kids and helping them feel comfortable and supported. I also volunteered as a camp counselor at a local YMCA, where I helped with daily routines, activities, meals, and supervision. That experience helped me learn how to keep kids engaged while also making sure they feel safe and cared for. What I love most about caregiving is building trust and being someone families can rely on. I enjoy creating a calm, positive environment where kids feel secure and parents feel at ease. I’m dependable, organized, and happy to help however I can. I’m comfortable with cooking, cleaning, organizing, household chores, and pet care, and I enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a sitter you can trust.

I am a student at Tufts University, I have a 7 year old brother who I cared for since he was a baby. I speak fluent English and Mandarin, partially fluent in Spanish and know a little Russian. I worked in violin and viola musical tutoring for 2-4th graders in elementary school. I am very great at cooking dishes and meal prepping from different cultures (traditional american, Hispanic, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indian). I also enjoy baking, my favorite is a lime Oreo cheesecake. I am also good at household chores and cleaning. In my free time I enjoy folding origami and would love to teach your child!

I am Zindzy Zynane, a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with over 8 years of experience in childcare, especially with babies and newborns with strong references. I have strong experience with sleep routines, feeding (including bottle-feeding and handling breast milk), diaper changing, and activities that support children’s development. Throughout my experience, I have worked with different families, caring for children of various ages — from young babies to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included school drop-off and pick-up, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, organizing recreational activities, outings, and educational play, as well as handling household tasks related to the children. I also have experience as a live-in nanny, caring for more than one child at the same time, including children with special needs. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and I have completed infant care training. English is my second language, and I have an advanced level, with additional knowledge of English grammar. I am organized, responsible, patient, communicative, creative, and trustworthy. I enjoy cooking, I am active, I value healthy habits, and I love animals.

"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."

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)."
