Julie,
Before you start working on this floor, check a couple of things...
...Has the foundation slipped, or
...is the was the floor just not poured level.
If it is just dips in the floor you can just smooth it out.
You need to see what the difference in the slope of your floor is. For instance, you want to make sure you have to add so much compound that you interfere with your baseboards. You may have to take up the baseboards and reinstall them once the floor is level.
Read the instructions carefully, particularly as to how much compound can be used.
If the foundation is stable then you have to either sand down or add more cement to become all one flat level. When things take time and done the correct way you are good forever. Do start by removing the base boards and clean out under the counters with whatever you can to reach with. It is not a quick fix but when done it is going to bring you piece of mind. Set aside a few days this does take quite a lot of time, unless you can afford a pro to do it in half the time. Best of luck, but find out why this has happened to your floor, soon.
Buy concrete lever it come in a bag just mix and pour it finds its own level.
