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!

Booked by 3 families in Fair Haven, NJ

Hi- My name is Leslie and I’m currently a part time childcare provider and student at Hunter College. I have been caring for children since I was 12 years old and absolutely love it, I am easy going and energetic. Those early interactions with kids is what led me to my career path of studying Early Childhood Education and becoming a teacher. In past and present years my responsibilities have been everything from playing with kids, making meals/snacks, diaper changing, taking to various activities, reading to them, helping with homework, light tidying up, school pick ups and a host of other duties. I have worked with all ages ranging from newborns to pre teens and can also offer numerous references on site if that is something that would make any family feel more at ease. My experience with the elderly/seniors is associated with the care of both my grandparents. I have assisted with giving medications, helping in daily hygiene care, cleaning and making beds, cooking/food prep, taking to appointments and just generally being a friendly ear and companion to help brave the long hours in the day. I look forward to being of great help to any families that need it.

“Leslie is absolutely wonderful. She has watched our infant son since he was 4 mos old! With my son, Leslie is engaging, kind, energetic and was wonderful at soothing him for nap time. With us, Leslie is dependable, considerate, and an overall joy to be around. Leslie has not only bonded with Lucas but also our small doodle. If you are looking for someone to help out with your infant, Leslie is definitely the one! However, it’s clear she excels at bonding and engaging with children of all ages with her personality and vast educational experience! Thank you so much Leslie!! See you soon :) :)”
