Hello! I’m James, and I’ve been working with kids for a little more than a year. I decided to take a break from my professional trajectory after receiving my bachelor's in 2022, and pursued childcare after reading about all the caregiving challenges during the lockdowns. I’m decently athletic, and like to get the kids moving and outside whenever possible to put my abundance of energy to good use. Prior to this service, my childcare experience was limited to informal responsibilities with family, so mediating their squabbles taught me to be patient and a careful listener to make sure the good times roll for everyone. I welcome your animals as well. Bonus points if they like to be pet. Up to date on vaccinations, CPR and first aid certified. I've done most of my work through Urbansitter, where I have a recent background check and several reviews regarding the quality of Read more my care. I can't link to my profile in the bio but I can provide it through messages if desired.
