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
Hi there! I'm Karina, a recent NYU graduate offering child and pet care! As the eldest in my family I've been working with kids since I was little and love to work with the PreK-12 age range. I also work as an after school lead tutor with the NYPL during the school year and can help that same age range with any homework subject. I can work with children individually or with as many as 5 kids at a time. I speak fluent Spanish and intermediate French. My goal with children is to inspire a love of learning and sense of wonder in the world around them and to do so through fostering curiosity, empathy, and a mutual sense of respect. Additionally, I'm often the first person my friends call up to petsit and am comfortable with cats and dogs, including those with medical needs.
