For me being a babysitter is super rewarding to connect with kids and help them learn and grow. I’m a proud dad of two kiddos, a high schooler and a middle schooler. I was a stay-at home dad for about four years and got the opportunity to spend the most valuable time with my kids. A big plus for me being a sitter is that I get to be creative with activities and it’s usually pretty fun and dynamic. And of course, there is the flexibility and the opportunity to earn some extra income as well. I currently work as a director in a senior living community. I do own a car and I am first AID and CPR certified. I am also multilingual, I am fluent in English German and Serbo-Croatian.
