Hi! I'm a mature, experienced male caregiver offering an alternative to the traditional sitter. In my 50s with two adult children and a grandchild, I bring the reliability of a seasoned adult with the energy and playfulness of a "fun uncle." I'm patient, dependable, and fully engaged--never just supervising. I'm UCLA-educated, semi-retired after a 30-year career in IT, and have over 20 years of coaching and mentoring experience. I've worked with nearly 750 children and connect naturally with kids of all ages. I balance fun with responsibility for homework help, games, outings, and being a steady, positive presence. I'm happy to help with school drop offs, activities, and adventures to parks, beaches, museums or other educational venues. I value clear communication with parents, so care always matches your routines and expectations.
We had a great experience with Kevin. He regularly took care of our two boys (ages 6 and 10) and was consistently reliable, attentive, patient and engaging. He cared for them both at home and on outings to the beach, park, and other fun places (including museums and miniature golf on school holidays), and we always felt confident knowing they were safe and well looked after. He also helped with homework, handled school pick-ups, and took the kids to and from practices, managing busy schedules with ease. One thing we especially appreciated was his excellent communication — he always kept us updated, which was very important to us and gave us real peace of mind. Our boys really enjoyed spending time with Kevin, and he did a wonderful job balancing fun with responsibility. We would happily recommend him to any family looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
