Role at CareFinder: Co-Founder and COO. I work on the site functionality with the developers and enhance our internal procedures with the team. I try to make sure that eager sitters and families are able to efficiently connect through our platform.

 

Hobbies: Going to the park with my kids, as well as skateboarding and karate.

 

Babysitting Experience: I babysat two children in my neighborhood when I was in high school. The parents ran a restaurant and often came home very late. They had active children and needed an active sitter to play sports with the kids, make dinner and put them to bed. I also had a babysitter when I was young. I still keep in touch with the kids that I babysat and my parents exchange Christmas cards with the sitter I had even though she was my sitter over 30 years ago.

 

Why You Love CareFinder: My wife started CareFinder because of the need she saw for affordable, quality sitters in Japan. I didn’t realize the positive impact that it would have on people’s lives. Many sitters have become like family members to the families they connect with.
