SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our school. Using the app, I can post jobs, pay and review, and chat with providers who are scheduled for upcoming jobs. When I have a teacher call out last-minute, I can rely on SitterTree. It really could not be a simpler process.

I own a preschool and I cannot say enough about how much we love SitterTree. We consistently find wonderful educators to fill our needs. The customer service is prompt, kind, and quick to solve any issue. 10/10 would recommend this app for any substitute educator needs.

Hello, my name is Breanna, and I am an experienced nanny with a strong background caring for babies and young children. I live very close to Orinda/Lafayette, which allows me to be reliable and punctual. I have previous childcare experience from Mexico as well as in the United States, and I can provide references from my most recent family. I am responsible, loving, patient, and very dedicated to children’s safety and well-being. I enjoy creating a calm, safe, and fun environment while following daily routines such as meals, naps, and age-appropriate activities. I have my own car, my vaccinations are up to date, and I am looking for a long-term, stable position where I can give my full commitment. My first language is Spanish, and I am currently starting English classes.

Hi! I'm currently an undergraduate Psychology student with a passion for child development and working with kids of all ages. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. Through my studies, I've gained valuable knowledge about children's emotional, social, and cognitive development, which helps me connect with kids in a patient and understanding way. I'm responsible, dependable, and committed to providing families with trustworthy care. Whether it's helping with homework, planning engaging activities, or simply being a positive role model, I look forward to supporting your family's needs!

Hi! My name is Simone :-) I am a 22-year-old recent college graduate currently living in San Jose and working in Fremont. I have over eight years of childcare experience, including four years as a children’s sleepaway camp counselor, four years as a gymnastics coach, and tutoring after school in high school. Since graduating, I have been working as the Office Coordinator at a gymnastics facility in Fremont, where I also coach part time. I have worked with children of all ages, including very young children, and I love engaging them through sports, arts and crafts, performing arts, games, and Disney movies and songs. I am reliable, creative, and children-oriented, with my own car and license. Caring for kids has always been a passion of mine, and I am excited to bring that energy to a new family ❤️
