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.

Hey there! I'm Valeria, your friendly neighborhood childcare pro by day and art enthusiast/adventure seeker by night. When I'm not wrangling tiny humans, you can find me either creating masterpieces with a paintbrush or exploring the great outdoors on a leisurely walk. And of course, no week is complete without some quality time with my awesome friends!

Hi! My name is Olivia and I've been in the babysitting field since I was 17. I've worked in elementary schools as both a teacher's assistant and paraprofessional to those with special needs. In addition, I have extensive experience with working with the special needs population as I am also a Registered Behavior Technician.

Hello, my name is Stefanie, and I am excited about the opportunity to provide babysitting support. While I do not have formal certifications, I have hands-on experience caring for younger family members of different ages. I enjoy engaging with children in fun, safe, and creative ways—whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply keeping them entertained and comfortable. I take safety and responsibility seriously, and I always strive to create a caring environment where kids feel happy and secure. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and respectful of household routines.

Catherine
I’m experienced and love working with kids. I loves working with children of all ages and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to thrive. I recently graduated from the University of South Florida with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and a minor in Children’s Behavioral Healthcare, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and behavior. I’ve volunteered at Camp Boggy Creek, where I worked closely with children facing serious medical conditions, and I’ve also gained valuable experience supporting patients and families while volunteering at Moffitt Cancer Center. I’m patient, dependable, and passionate about helping kids feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply being there to listen, I enjoy building positive relationships with the children and families I work with. I also have my own car, which makes transportation safe and convenient.
