About Jake

games, board games and puzzles, and technology-based games and apps. I have lots of experience in caring for children of all ages. Having grown up in a large extended family, I have had the honor as the oldest of being a caretaker and role model to my younger cousins and siblings. This experience helps me to relate to children of all ages, though my favorite age range to care for is 4-9. I have a patient and gentle approach to children, and an understanding of children who are anxious. I especially love helping children burn extra energy by being active! I am know for organizing impromptu wiffle ball games in the yard, playing basketball, or creating our own game. I was a baseball player and pitcher through high school and enjoy coaching or giving pointers. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
