Booked by 57 families in Poulsbo, WA
I have experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months up to 13 years, including kids with ADHD and ASD. I'm a pretty calm and easygoing guy, and always make an effort to engage with the kids I watch. I’m a pretty active person and like to get the kids outside when I can; bike rides, lava monster and soccer are frequent activities. While I personally enjoy physical activities, I'm always happy to take it easy and break out some table games or crafts for a quiet night in. I am comfortable with pets as well. P.S. I completed my bachelor's in March ’22, and am currently searching for work in the communications field.

I'm skilled in creating fun, engaging, and educational activities!
