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.

Astrid
Hello, My name is Astrid Alejandra Arias-Barrera, I am a photographer and mixed media artist, and I have always had a strong, natural connection with children. From a young age, I helped care for younger kids in my family and developed a very nurturing, motherly personality. I had to step away from work for a period of time, but I am now ready and excited to return to working with families and children. For the past four years, I have provided childcare on and off for family members, roommates, and friends. Through these experiences, I have learned how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am dependable, a quick learner, and very open-minded. I am also happy to help with cooking, cleaning and any other household tasks as needed. I am truly grateful for any opportunity to support a family and provide safe, loving care for their children.

Madelyn
Hi! My name is Madelyn, and I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 12. I grew up babysitting my little sister, and soon her friends. I’ve babysat many newborns from family friends and relatives. In high school I was a swim instructor for kids ages 6 months through 14 years old primarily. Currently, I’m a college student taking a semester off, and working part time as a STEM Instructor. I’ve been with my company for two years now, and love it. I teach elementary aged kids about STEM and engineering using lego materials. My classes contain up to 16 kids, and as few as 7. I can do anything from casual babysitting, to structured (yet fun) educational sessions with activities. I look forward to working with you!

Through these roles, I have developed strong skills in supporting daily routines, promoting positive behavior, and maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. My experience in daycare and pediatric settings has strengthened my ability to manage group care, follow health and safety protocols, and support developmental milestones, while my work in home and church environments has allowed me to provide individualized care, lead engaging activities, and foster strong, positive relationships. I am dedicated to supporting each child’s developmental, emotional, and social growth through attentive care and age-appropriate learning experiences. I take pride in creating a warm, engaging atmosphere where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to learn and thrive.
