We have used SitterTree several times, and have loved our sitters each time. I love the communication I’ve had with the sitters on the platform and love that I can read sitter reviews. Highly recommend!

We have found SitterTree to be a great way to connect with quality child care. The platform is easy to use and the process of booking a sitter is pretty seamless. The sitters we’ve booked have all been professional, trustworthy, and liked by our children. Overall a great experience!

Hello my name is Kylie Tran, I'm 20 years old. I live in lees summit. My experience on babysitting is taking care of my 2 younger cousins, when they were at the age of 4 years old until the age they are now which is 8 and 10 years old. I would get them up, make breakfast, hangout with them, put them to bed. Sometimes watch them overnight or just for the morning.

Hezekiah
Hi, my name is Hezekiah Kirkwood. I have several years of hands-on experience working with children in both daycare and before- and after-school settings. I previously worked as a childcare worker at Creative World in Belton and as a before- and after-school teacher with LINC in Kansas City, where I supported children of different age groups throughout the day. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve graduated and received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Science with an emphasis in Nutrition and Food Science, which has strengthened my understanding of child wellness and development. Overall, I bring patience, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with children.
Hayet
I have approximately 3 years of hands-on childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks old through 5 years old. I have worked as a Lead Teacher in daycare settings, including the Baby Room, Toddler 1, Toddler 2, Preschool, and Pre-K classrooms. For the past two years, I have worked at Stepping Above Academy, primarily as a Lead Teacher in the Baby Room, caring for infants starting at 6 weeks old and providing daily routines, sensory activities, developmental support, and a safe and nurturing environment. I have also gained experience working with the other age groups through Pre-K. I also worked for 4 months as a Lead Teacher in Toddler 1 at Kiddee College, where I planned activities and supported language, motor, and social development. I do not have a specific favorite age because I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and young children. I also have personal hands-on experience supporting my 6-year-old son, who has autism. This has given me valuable experience with communication, routines, behavior support, patience, and adapting activities to a child’s individual needs. I have completed multiple early childhood education trainings and have pediatric CPR and First Aid certification.
