Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. I have a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies, and supporting kids as they grow, learn, and explore truly brings me joy. I’m an active person who loves the outdoors—whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or finding little adventures throughout the day. I also enjoy quieter moments like reading together, as well as fun dance and singing parties when it’s time to get our energy out! I’m looking forward to building meaningful, trusting relationships with families and becoming a positive, dependable presence in your child’s world. I can’t wait to connect!

I have been working with children for many years, even as a little girl I would help out in church groups looking after the little ones. Throughout my teen years I would do work through the YMCA with young kids and now I'm currently at work with a daycare! Looking for a change of pace but have always had a dedication for children! I'm huge on communication and emotional regulation and empathy with children, their little bodies are experiencing such new emotions, I feel it's crucial they can learn to regulate them, so that they can be successful with whatever comes their way. I love the outdoors and have a passion for the arts which I love to incorporate into my childcare as well!

Hello my name is LaRondra but I do go by Lala as well. I’m 24 years old and I have just about 10 years of experience working with kids, now half of that is not professional experience just babysitting for family, family friends, co-workers & also raising my now 4 year old daughter. The other half is professional experience from working as teacher aides in different childcare centers to working for a nanny/sitter company. Overall I would say I’m pretty well experienced with children of all ages and any race, culture, ethnicity.

Hi, my name is Jill, I am a mother of two wonderful daughters and a grandmother of six, who definitely keep me on my toes! I am also a nanny, which I really love! I plan activities for my grandchildren and my nanny children. I'd like to do arts and crafts with them and explore the outdoors. On my free time I'd like to make cards, draw, and do projects around the house. I also have a dog named Max, he's a small dog and he's turning 19 this February. And sometimes he likes to go to work with me. I used to be a licensed daycare provider and now I'm a nanny, I raised a lot of children, and I'm looking forward to meeting you.

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.
