Jessell Boston
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! 👋 My name is Jessell Medina, and I’m a full-time nanny with over 4 years of experience caring for children from infancy through preschool age. I’m passionate about creating calm, loving, and structured routines that help children feel safe, confident, and happy every day. My care style is inspired by the Montessori philosophy, focusing on independence, emotional awareness, and learning through play. Whether it’s exploring outdoors, building curiosity through sensory activities, or encouraging gentle manners, I love watching children grow into their best selves. 🌿 I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and known for being responsible, patient, and attentive to each child’s unique personality and needs. I truly enjoy forming long-term bonds with families and becoming part of a supportive home environment. I’m currently seeking a stable, full-time position where I can continue to bring warmth, creativity, and structure into a family’s daily life.

As a caregiver, I find immense joy in nurturing the younger generation, including my siblings and other children. I firmly believe that children are the future of our society, and it is our collective responsibility to provide them with love, kindness, patience, and care. With ten years of experience in the field, I have had the privilege of working for June Care. Initially, I assisted my family as a younger child, and as the family grew, I continued to support them. Additionally, I have helped out my neighbors as well. My training includes CPR, equipping me to handle any emergency situations that may arise. Furthermore, I possess bilingual skills, experience with security and safety, meal preparation, homework assistance, and animal care.

"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)."
