Faith
I pour my heart into my role as an Infant and Toddler Teacher, with over 3 years of experience caring for little ones from 6 weeks to 5 years old. I hold a Child Development degree and am excited to begin my journey in Nursing school this spring, blending my knowledge of early education with a future focus on child health. I thrive on bringing joy and happiness into their precious lives, creating engaging activities just for them, and cherishing every moment I get to watch each child grow, learn, and blossom.

Keith
Hi there — my name is Keith and I'm a preschool teacher. I have 12 years experience working with 2 - 5-year-old children. I believe every child is capable of learning and growing in a supportive environment. I also have an educational background in English and creative writing. I'm a published author. Along with babysitting, I can also do meal prep / light cooking and household chores if needed.

I am a compassionate and dedicated childcare professional with an Early Childhood Degree and more than 20 years of experience supporting children’s growth and development. I bring a nurturing, upbeat energy to my work and genuinely enjoy the creativity, curiosity, and joy that children bring to each day. I create engaging age-appropriate activities that encourage imagination, learning, and confidence. Families describe me as responsible, reliable and deeply caring. Above all, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive and enriching environment where children can thrive.

Mariama
Hi! My name is Mariama (or Mari for short), and I’m a college student who loves working with kids. I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings and cousins, and I also volunteer at a local school, helping with classroom activities and supporting younger students. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun, creative, and safe play. Whether you need a dependable sitter for a night out or occasional help, I’d love to be someone you can count on!

Hello! My name is Ihuoma (E-ho-ma), and I’m 24 years old. I love working with children and have been caring for kids at my church for many years. I’m excited to expand that experience through SitterTree! I bring a fun, energetic presence while also maintaining a great balance between playtime and structure. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a caregiver for elderly and disabled individuals, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and sense of responsibility. I am also BLS certified and committed to providing a safe, caring, and positive environment for every child I work with.

Reina
Hi there! My name is Reina, and I am a dedicated caregiver with a deep love for supporting children’s growth and play. My most extensive experience comes from being a mom to my own energetic 3year old son (who is nearly four!), which has given me hands on expertise in everything from toddler meal prep to navigating big emotions. In addition to my full time role as a parent, I have experience babysitting my niece and nephew ages 4 and 6. I’m comfortable managing multiple children at once and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them to thrive.
