We have been using SitterTree for several years now and absolutely love it!! With all 4 grandparents living out of state, reliable sitters were a struggle for us. SitterTree allows us to always have dependable care, any time we need it! THANK YOU SitterTree!!!

I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.

Taylor
Hi! My name is Taylor, and I have a strong background in childcare both personally and through experience. I am a current grad student getting my degree in clinical mental health counseling. As a mom, I understand firsthand the level of care, patience, and attention children need to feel safe and supported. In addition to raising my own child, I have experience babysitting and caring for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meal preparation, playtime, and creating a positive, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy working with kids and supporting their growth and development. I look forward to the opportunity to help care for your child!

Nkem
Every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and genuinely loved. That's the heart behind the way I care for kids. Hi, I'm Nkay. I've spent years taking care of my little nieces and nephews, and that's really where my love for childcare started. Being the go-to auntie taught me patience, gentleness, and how to keep kids entertained while keeping things calm and structured. I'm a Christian, and my faith guides the way I show up for children with kindness, integrity, and a nurturing spirit. I love creating warm, meaningful moments with kids, whether we're reading stories, playing games, or just talking about their world. Parents describe me as dependable, peaceful, and someone their kids connect with instantly. I believe childhood is sacred, and I treat every child with the same love and care I give to the little ones in my own family. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves kids and brings a comforting, positive presence into your home, I'd be honored to support your family.

I have experience volunteering in special education classrooms, mentoring youth, coaching Girls on the Run, teaching dance, and leading community outreach through my nonprofit organization, Tiny Tummy Trust.

I’m compassionate, dependable, and outgoing, and I enjoy creating engaging activities while helping children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. My long-term career goal is to work in pediatric mental health and continue positively impacting children and families.
