I'm a full-time student attending Montclair State University. I am very responsible with kids of all ages, as I am the oldest of my seven siblings. They range from 1 year to 10 years old.

$25 per hour for 1 child
$25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Kezi, and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around children. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I would treat every child with kindness, attention, and respect. I offer attentive childcare, including supervising children, helping with feeding and mealtimes, diaper changes, maintaining routines, engaging children in fun activities, and keeping their spaces tidy. I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in caring and dependable hands. I enjoy helping children learn, explore, and have fun through age-appropriate activities. This can include reading books, singing songs, playing games, doing arts and crafts, taking walks, and encouraging creativity and development.

Hello, I’m Christopher, and I look forward to the opportunity to tutor. I’m passionate about helping others succeed academically. I tutor in math, science, and engineering, and I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable steps. I have many hobbies, including hiking, running, fixing cars, and working in my father’s construction company to help improve productivity. I also enjoy having conversations with interesting people because it gives me a chance to learn something new from different perspectives. I consider myself to be an active individual whenever I’m not studying or working, as the benefits it brings know no bounds.
