Eliza is the most responsible and sweet pet sitter! They took such good care of my cat and they will be my top pick to catsit in the future! So communicative, reliable, consistent and my kitty had so much fun!

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. Proof of certification can be provided upon request!
