How do I apply to jobs?

Once your sitter profile is approved, you’re ready to apply to jobs.

Search for jobs

  1. Sign in to SitterTree
  2. Select Search
  3. 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

  1. Select Apply on any job you’re interested in
  2. 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.

  1. Select Search > Applied > Cancel on any application

Tips for booking jobs

  • Turn on notifications so you don’t miss new jobs
  • Keep your profile complete and updated
  • Respond to messages promptly
  • Apply to all jobs that fit your schedule
