Jack New York
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jack. I moved to NYC about 7 years from Columbus, Ohio to major in Musical Theatre at Marymount Manhattan on the Upper East Side. I've been taking care and teaching kids since I was in high school. My friends and family would describe me as super positive, patience and great at problem solving. I've taught dance and soccer to all age ranges of kids in Ohio and NYC. I create a warm and supportive environment for all children that I interact with throughout my various jobs. "Jack - our coach, is a patient angel. Give that man a BIG raise! The way he handles the 5-8 year old crew (full of boys!) is a testament to how much he loves the sport. We appreciate Jack's efforts and style and hope he continues to inspire the kids in our community" This is a review from February 2026 at my soccer job with Soccershots NYC. I hope to inspire more kids in the community all around NYC. Hope to chat soon! Thank you
