Meet Erich James

I have been a caretaker for adults, children, and pets in various capacities my entire life. I served in the Air Force for six years as an Airport Manager. During that time I had adopted my brother as a teenager and he lived with me for three years. I have a younger brother and sister, growing up my mom made sure I knew how to do everything! I returned to college in Iowa to study Sustainable Living and returned to Flint to form a non profit community organization. After my sister's wedding in May I will head West to start another NPO. Bud is a family nickname from my Mother's side and when my nieces were born I became Uncle Bud. However, Uncle Bud is a character/alter ego I use to perform and entertain. I am something of a Child Entertainer you see. I juggle, do magic, tell stories, and Read more generally am a goofball! [|:^{ D Children have always responded to me and so I am going to do it full time, which is why I'm going West in May. During this Winter I aim to hone my skills in preparation for my plan. Please help me pursue my dreams an make the world a better place! I'm an excellent cook, always on time (usually early), and am willing to work odd hours; also, my time in the military makes me more qualified than your average Joe in first aid and CPR. I am more than a sitter, I am a positive influence on your loved ones. Oh and I LOVE dogs! Uncle Bud: I do it all big or small, one call does it all!
