About Richard

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have been a sitter for over 20 years, and am currently pursuing a master's degree in child psychology. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, and am comfortable working with larger families and children with special needs. Caring for children is something about which I am passionate and which I feel a calling to pursue. As a sitter I strive to strike a balance between energetic play and calm structure. I see my job as having 3 primary duties. Most important, keeping everyone safe. Next, maintaining the house rules and routine, so children have a sense of stability when their parents are gone. Finally, I want to engage with the kids I am watching and help them have fun- I want "having a sitter" to be a positive experience, something to which they look forward! In addition to sitting I teach in the children's ministry at church and volunteer with BBBS, and have tutored and taught a children's martial arts class. My space here is limited, but I'd be happy to chat further.

We hire Richard for our occasional date nights and he is THE BEST. We have a few babysitters we hire and Richard is the favorite, period. Our kids (4, 6 & 7) ask me LITERALLY every single day if Richard can come over. He's so easy and trusting and amazing with our kids. He is very engaged with the children and always cooks for them and I come home to a clean house. He stayed over for a weekend while the hubby and I went out of town and it was so comforting knowing they were in such good hands. Do yourself and your kids a favor and hire Richard - he is simply the best.
