Hi, I'm Bruna! I’ve worked with kids of all ages. I’ve been a summer camp counselor, subbed in schools (elementary, middle, even hs) and was a daycare/pre-school TA. I speak Portuguese and conversational Spanish if you’re interested in language exposure.
I have several years of childcare and child development experience through volunteer, leadership, and internship roles. As Head of the Junior Committee at The Child Development Centre, I helped support teaching, structured activities, and volunteer training for children with special education needs. I also completed a Developmental Psychology Internship there, where I observed clinical psychologists, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, and SEN teachers, and helped with child assessment materials. Additionally, I have volunteered at Saviour Lutheran School, assisting with English instruction and educational activities for underprivileged children with developmental and cognitive disabilities. These experiences have made me patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting children with different learning styles and needs.

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. Proof of certification can be provided upon request!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
