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.

Kennedi $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kennedi and I’m located in the Harlem area of New York. I have experience working with children in both childcare and customer-facing roles where patience, attentiveness, and communication are really important. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment where they can play, learn, and feel supported. I’m very dependable, organized, and comfortable helping with routines like school pickups, activities, meals, and keeping children’s spaces tidy. I’m known for being calm, attentive, and engaging with kids, and I’m happy to provide references if needed. I am also CPR/AED/FIRST AID Certified as of 3/16/2026.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
