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.

Hi! My name is Emma. I’m a recent college grad with a degree in Neuroscience and Biology, with minors in Psychology and Spanish. I love being creative—especially when it comes to homework and making learning fun and engaging for kids. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, and helping out with everyday tasks around the house. I truly enjoy being supportive, and I love knowing I can assist you and your child however you need. In terms of childcare experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I’m also more than happy to help with schoolwork if needed. During my junior year of high school, I interned in a 5th-grade classroom, which gave me great insight into older children’s learning needs. In addition to that, I’ve worked at a daycare and have provided childcare for a few families over the years. Overall, I am flexible, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for your child. I look forward to helping in any way I can!
