What Clients are Saying

“Shane has been an incredible part of our lives over the past 2 years, both as a babysitter and as a coach at my daughter’s climbing gym. He’s that rare kind of caregiver who combines playfulness with deep responsibility. Whether he’s braiding her hair, coloring with her or telling silly jokes that light up her day, Shane shows up completely. What sets him apart most is the way he takes his role seriously — not just as someone who supervises children, but as someone who helps guide and support them. Shane is an exceptional communicator, always on time and clear with boundaries — which gives me the confidence that my daughter is not just safe, but thriving when she’s with him. I often say it feels like she’s being parented, not just babysat and in today’s world, that kind of support is priceless. Shane has truly become an important part of our village, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“Shane is an incredible caregiver to our son, Jasper. His energy is warm, playful and naturally engaging. From the moment Shane arrived, he dove into connection, playing and engaging with Jasper the entire time with creativity, movement, and so much genuine fun. What impressed me the most was his presence. Shane didn’t just supervise, he was truly with Jasper. He was attentive, patient and responsive to Jasper’s needs in the moment. Whether it was snacks, emotional shifts, curiosity or transitions, he met each one with care and ease. Jasper loves active, imaginative play and Shane matches him beat for beat, bringing enthusiasm, stamina, and heart into every interaction. I felt completely at peace knowing Jasper was not only safe, but fully seen, supported and having the best time. I wholeheartedly recommend Shane to any family looking for a sitter who is energetic, attentive, kind, and deeply present with children. He brings a beautiful balance of fun and responsibility, and we are truly grateful to have found him.”

“Shane Bunin is a wonderful human being, let alone a tremendous mentor and coach for the next generation. Over the last year and a half, my four kids have had the incredible privilege of working with Shane, and I can honestly say he has been an incredibly positive influence in their lives. Whether he is guiding them in rock climbing, organizing paintball events, taking them to the park or simply hanging out in the back yard, he brings an energy and presence that makes every moment meaningful. What sets him apart is his ability to meet every child exactly where they are. My children all have different personalities, skill levels and comfort zones, and he somehow manages to tune into each one even when he is juggling a big group. He knows when to push, when to encourage, when to pause and when to simply listen. It is a rare gift. Under his coaching, my children haven’t just grown in physical skills like strength, coordination and confidence in outdoor sports. They’ve also grown socially and emotionally. He teaches them how to show respect, communicate, handle frustration, support each other and take pride in their own personal progress. He models patience, respect and resilience in a way that kids naturally respond to. I’m incredibly grateful for the time, care, and heart he has poured into my family. Coaches like him don’t come around often and the impact he’s has on my children will stay with them for years to come.”

“Shane has been fantastic with my six year old twin boys! He has cared for them at my home and worked as a professional at their seasonal school day off camp. It is obvious, after seeing him in various scenarios, that Shane connects effortlessly with children of all ages. He is naturally engaging and athletic which is crucial for keeping up with my human tornadoes! I also love that he sends fun, goofy photos to me while they are under his supervision because it really shows how much he enjoys his time with my boys too. I highly recommend Shane, and he has resounding endorsement from my boys as well!”

-Katie Nichols

“Shane has become one of our main go to humans for climbing instruction and babysitting for our daughter. The fact that all three of us (my wife, our daughter and myself) agree on him is a miracle! When Shane is on the Scene, everybody is happy, engaged and excited about what is going on. With a keen eye towards safety, respect and a contagious enthusiasm that is unmistakeable, I respect Shane’s judgment and trust him with our daughter.”

-Dave Butler

“Shane is AMAZING! He is a terrific climbing coach who excels at leading children in high energy activities. His enthusiasm is infectious and he always gets the children giggling and ready to have a blast. He also knows just how to communicate with them whether they are feeling happy, sad, excited or hurt. We’ve asked Shane to take our five year old daughter for one on one sessions at the climbing gym. He is reliable, easy to communicate with and he always shows up on time. A+!”
