About me

My name is David Park. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and am the oldest of 3! My brother, Daniel, is two years younger than me and my sister, Michelle, is 6 years younger. Growing up with my brother being so close to my age was the best thing I could've asked for, because he was my best friend growing up. While we had our own group of friends our age that we made from school, we also shared a large group of friends between us and spent a lot of our formative childhood years playing outside together and teaching each other about respecting boundaries while also sharing them.

Michelle was my baby growing up, I took care of her often growing up because both of my parents worked long hours. I fed her, helped her with homework, played with her outside and made sure that I was not only a good babysitter for my parents but the best big brother that I could be. Moving to New York so far from my family was hard and still is to this day, I miss them dearly. I moved here to go to school at Pace University where I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre (rare in the city, I know) but have been fortunate to have worked as an actor post grad and meet all kinds of fantastic people. I have always had great interpersonal skills, it's something that my parents stressed teaching me growing up, but I also grew up being very comfortable around peers and younger kids because I was always chaperoning my sister on her playdates around our cul-de-sac. As an adult, those skills I learned as a child have only deepened and blossomed into a perfect skill set for being around new children and helping them to feel at ease.

I have been sitting for families in the city for 2 years now. My most common responsibilities are: date night sitting, sports practice drop off/pick up, driving to and from school or play dates or wherever they need to go that day, homework supervision, and overall engagement with the kids. I generally work with children in the 5-11 age. That is not to say that I am not comfortable with children outside of that range, but I love that age range because of the level of interaction that is possible with such fresh and vibrant minds.
