Stranger Things 2: 8 Reasons You Should Hire Steve Harrington As Your Babysitter

One of the standouts in Stranger Things 2 was the evolution of Steve Harrington. (Spoiler Alert: Please do not read ahead if you have not finished binging Stranger Things 2)

He went from being the school’s bad boy to basically the babysitter that every parent dreams of. Here are eight reasons why you should hire Steve Harrington to watch your kids.

1. He will be totally psyched if you leave behind crappy fast food for him and the kids while you head out to a nice dinner.

There’s no need to leave behind anything fancy for Steve and the kids. Just swing through the local drive through, grab a bucket of chicken, and you are good to go.

He loves KFC.

2. He knows how to wield a dishtowel with the command of a mother of three (at least!).

He has all the moves down.  The hand on the hip, the point, and the dramatic dish towel grab.  It’s like he’s been doing this for years.

Now, all he has to work on is getting the kids to listen to him…

3. He will take a punch (or several) to save your kid from a crazed bully.

Every parent has wished they could fight their kids’ battles for them at one point or another, and Steve will literally fight for your kids — even if he’s outmatched and gets his ass kicked.

He’ll protect your kids as if they were his own, and let’s face it, Steve considers all his charges as his own kids.

4. He is prepared to deal with unruly pets.

Anyone who can put up with a pack of unruly demodogs can certainly tolerate your poorly trained chocolate lab.

A dog who jumps up on visitors when he’s excited is NOTHING to Steve Harrington. He won’t even have to bust out his bat.

5. He knows that it’s not right for kids to play with fire.

Steve knows to employ basic safety rules for all activities.

Look at those kids, prepped with bandannas and safety goggles as Steve ignites the flame that sets those terrifying tunnels on fire. Okay, sure, he let them go down into the demodog invested tunnels, but Steve made sure to keep an eye on them at all times.

He put the kids’s safety before his own, which is what a good babysitter does.
