Steve Harrington is probably the most popular character from Stranger Things. He is the one who is king of the babysitters.

3 Times Steve Harrington was the King of the Babbysitters on &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217;

Stranger Things has a lot of great characters that we all love. They all are
lovable and relatable in their own way. But the most surprising character that
we all love to bits now is Steve. However, Steve Harrington was not the iconic
hero he is today when Stranger Things first started. But since the show’s season
two, we all can’t help but admire his character arc.

So, to mark the birthday of Joe Keery, who plays Steve on the show, Netflix
tweeted calling him “king of the babysitters.”

And we so agree with the title. So, to celebrate the actor’s birthday
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-mews-netflix-gives-a-treat-to-birthday-boy-kal-penn-harold-kumar-go-to-white-castle-to-reach-the-streamer-in-may/],
we compiled the moments where Steve Harrington was indeed the best babysitter
there is.


TIMES WHEN STEVE HARRINGTON WAS KING OF BABYSITTERS IN STRANGER THINGS


STEVE PROTECTED THE KIDS FROM BILLY

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

We all know Steve is not a fantastic fighter, but hey, his parental instincts
kicked in when Billy bullied Max and Lucas at the Byers house. Even though Steve
didn’t truly win the battle with Billy and Max put a stop to the fight
[https://netflixjunkie.com/best-fights-scenes-in-stranger-things-ranked-netflix-news/],
the scene did earn him a golden star for his babysitting skills.


STEVE FIGHTS THE DEMIGORGANS

In season one, Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan’s battle with the Demigorgon was epic.
His baseball bat with nails makes a comeback in season 2 when he is once again
babysitting the kids. This time, however, he teamed up with Dustin and gang to
lure Dart, the Demigorgan Dustin unknowingly kept as a pet. When meat pieces
didn’t work, he chose to go out there instead of letting any of the kids go out.
Later, he put their safety first when the Demigorgans attacked the bus all of
them were hiding in.


KEEPING THE CHILDREN SAFE

Steve always attempts to put his foot down and try his best to keep the kids
safe. Since he’s in charge of their safety, he always makes sure that their
safety is his number one priority no matter what is happening. He speaks to the
youngsters in a tone that’s like a father scolding their child.

Finally, we all know how great Steve is with the kids, and he is the perfect
example of a babysitter: Someone who genuinely cares for the kids.
