Hi families! I'm Colin, and I especially enjoy working with creative, imaginative kids and have also been a youth group leader and piano tutor, strengthening my patience, structure, and ability to encourage children in a positive, engaging way. I'm not a 'sit on the couch and scroll on my phone' type of sitter! I genuinely enjoy spending screen-free time with children through reading, pretend play, crafts, outdoor activities, games, and conversation. I provide attentive, compassionate care and adapt my approach to help every child feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I also have experience with shy and neurodivergent children. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, fingerprint background checked, TB cleared, have reliable transportation and a clean driving record, and hold an SDSU engineering degree. 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!
After I had a sitter cancel on me an hour before they were supposed to arrive, I immediately remembered Colin from this app and asked if he could cover as I had an important event to go to. Colin was highly responsive, on time, and my child said he was “so much fun!”. They did puzzles, charades, ate dinner, and read books toward the end of the night. I would hire him again.
