About Thaddeus

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi families! My name is Thaddeus, and I bring over three years of experience as an elementary school teacher along with a strong background in coaching kids of all ages in basketball and football. I'm energetic, empathetic, and hardworking, with a great attention to detail that helps me provide both fun and safe care. I played college football at Grand Valley State University and am currently finishing my degree as a senior. My time in the classroom and on the field has taught me patience, leadership, and teamwork--skills I love passing on to the kids I work with. Whether it's helping with homework, keeping kids active through sports and games, or simply creating a positive and caring environment, I'm committed to supporting children's growth while giving parents peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your family!

Thaddeus is our favorite caregiver in Austin. Our son LOVES him and so do we. Truly, he has become gift to our family. He is trustworthy, follows instructions, communicates amazingly, is always on time (actually early), and has a knack for getting on the level of kids. He is health-conscious and athletic, so he gets the kids outdoors to good old fashioned PLAY, whether it's sports, casual swimming or a silly game of hide & go-seek or tag. My son would rather run around with him then hit the screens, but he'll also do that if allowed. Throughout his caregiving, Thaddeus has become a trusted mentor to our son and his coaching experience mixed with positivity + no grit quit, has been an extra win for the books. He's a chameleon when it comes to kids and their many moods + personalities. He knows how to break through and keep things light-hearted and fun, even if there's a case of the "grumps." BONUS...he helps with homework!!! His optimism is contagious, too. We LOVE Thaddeus:)
