How do I apply to jobs?
Once your sitter profile is approved, you’re ready to apply to jobs.
Search for jobs
- Sign in to SitterTree
- Select Search
- Browse jobs in your area
Select View on any job to see details like:
- Date(s) and time(s)
- Approximate location and distance
- Number and ages of children
- Hourly rates
- Job description
Use filters to find jobs that match your schedule and preferences.
Applying to jobs
- Select Apply on any job you’re interested in
- For recurring jobs, apply to individual dates or select Apply all
After you apply
- Families/groups are notified and can review your profile
- For family jobs, parents may message you before booking
- If you’re booked, you’ll receive a notification (push, text, and/or email-depending on your settings)
You likely won’t be booked for every job you apply to. Keep applying to jobs that fit your schedule and experience. Don’t worry about being double-booked as you apply-the SitterTree platform prevents overlapping bookings.
Managing applications
You can view or cancel applications anytime before you’re booked. There’s no fee to cancel before you’re booked.
- Select Search > Applied > Cancel on any application
