Hi families! I’m Colin, and I’ve been babysitting and caring for children for several years, with hands-on experience caring for children ages 14 months to 10 years old.
I recently relocated from San Diego to Irvine after accepting a mechanical engineering position, but childcare is something I’ve genuinely come to love, and I’m excited to continue babysitting on weekends. Happy to provide childcare either in your home or in my own!
I especially enjoy working with creative, imaginative kids and have also served as a youth group leader and piano tutor, which strengthened my patience, structure, and ability to encourage children in a positive, engaging way.
Happy to provide additional references from my Care.com profile, where you can read reviews from other families I’ve worked with!
I specialize in screen-free activities like reading, pretend play, crafts, outdoor play, and positive daily routines. I also have experience supporting children who are shy or neurodivergent, and always adapt my approach to help them feel comfortable, supported, and engaged.
I’m CPR/First Aid certified, Home Care Aide (HCA) certified, fingerprint background checked, TB cleared, have reliable transportation with booster seats, and a clean driving record. As a bonus, I’m also happy to help with handyman tasks around the house!
If you’re looking for someone kind, dependable, and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to help your family!
“Colin showed up right on time and immediately started to get to know my kids. He asked thoughtful questions and my kids took to him right away. He kept me updated as to when the kids were asleep which helped to make my night the relaxing and peaceful one I needed. Thank you Colin! will def be hiring again in the future.”
