**ACTIVELY SEEKING EVENING/WEEKEND GIGS NOV 2024** Hello! I'm Harrison. I’m providing recurring before/afterschool care for several families, but I’m actively seeking to supplement my regular schedule with daytime/evening/weekend gigs. I’m newish to SitterCity, but I’ve been working regularly with a bunch of families for a while now, and I’m happy to provide parent references + reviews. If you think I may be a good fit, let’s connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn 3 years ago to manage a giant rock climbing gym. I've worked with kids a ton in climbing gyms over the last 10 years, from running summer camps to making birthday parties awesome. After leaving my role earlier this year, I started providing care in an attempt to reclaim joy in my work life-- and it's been a blast so far. I like climbing (of course), games (video, board, word, active, other), cooking, soccer, swimming, Read more and riding my bike long distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show! I'm CPR / first aid certified and generally skilled at balancing fun and safety in childcare settings. I'm a skilled driver, though I do not currently own a car. Beyond just sitting, I'm happy to support with: -homework help! I used to student teach / tutor English back in high school, and I am generally math-proficient. -meal prep! I chef 95% of my apartmenthold's meals right now, and I love to cook. -climbing! Wanna learn the ropes or just give it a try? I'm your guy. -pet care! I live with 3 cats (1 mine, 2 my partner’s) and I care for dogs of friends & clients regularly. Hope to hear from you!

My 2 boys (9-yo twins) love Harrison and did so right away! He has been helping us out pretty regularly and they are always excited when they know Harrison is coming over. The kids are so at ease with him, that we find ourselves looking for more reasons to have him come over (win-win!). Can not recommend enough.

Harrison is a godsend for my two boys. They jump out the door to go with Harrison to the park, Urban Air trampouline park, or to the climbing gym where he has a real passion. His kindness and calm manner is just what my 7 and 3 year old boys need and I could not be happier to have found him. He has been walking my kids to school in the morning and it is a tremendous help in getting them there on time and getting them motivated to start their day. I give him my highest unequivocal recommendation. Please don’t hog him. He must be shared.

If I could give 6 stars I would. HARRISON rocked it with our five year old son. They bonded the minute he showed up at our home (not our son's typical response to a sitter). They played out of doors (and off devices) for hours. Harrison set great boundaries for Joshua, but also set the norm of having a total blast together. Wish we lived in NYC so we could use Harrison on a regular basis.

Harrison was so great with my two little guys. My kids are notoriously suspicious of babysitters but they were immediately at ease and had fun right away when Harrison came over. Would recommend!!!!
