Tracy-Lee $20 per hour for 1 child
I have been in education for over 10 plus years and currently work at a middle school in Brooklyn. I also manage the after-school program, hence my availability only on weekends and holidays. CPR certified every 2 years, as this is a requirement of Department of Education. Parents, nothing surprises or scares me. I am not afraid of vomit or diarrhea nor a bug if your little one brings me one as a gift. Just dropped my baby off at college, so you can say I am looking for another baby to love and care for.

I have experience doing school pick up and drop off, homework help, light housework and cooking. I am happy to help around the house as needed and to cook as much as possible. At 27, I currently work part-time in the nonprofit arts and have a flexible schedule. I’m deeply passionate about art, education, communication and community. And I’m great with crafts!

Hi! I'm Christel. I'm a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Over the past few years, I've gained hands-on experience helping care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children ranging from 7 months to 10 years old.

I'm dependable, attentive, and love building positive relationships with both children and their families.
