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.

Susan
I am a mother of two "grown" children (ages 19 and 22) who has worked in the field of education for over 20 years. For 17 years, I taught at the elementary level and I now work part-time as a 2-year-old teacher at a private preschool. Since my children are grown and my husband is busy with work, I am looking for part-time work during the summer months. I will be available during the days from June 22 - August 15. Starting mid August, I will have evening and weekend availability only. I have a clean driving record, clean background check, and I am first aid and CPR certified. I enjoy singing, dancing, arts and crafts. My family has a cat and a Labrador retriever, so I am quite comfortable with pets. Non-smoker and am only comfortable in non-smoking households. I am a Northern Virginia native and know my way around the area fairly well.

Hi, I'm Jess! I have over 10 years of experience supporting children and families through home visiting, case management, and child development programs. My experience spans infancy through high school-aged youth, giving me a strong understanding of children's developmental needs at every stage. I currently work in maternal and child health as a supervisor supporting families with young children. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, heard, and encouraged to be themselves. Whether we're playing, learning, exploring their interests, or simply following their routine, I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where children can thrive and parents can feel confident that their little ones are in caring, capable hands. I am trauma-informed, dependable, patient, and committed to building positive, meaningful connections with every family I work with. I understand that parenting takes a village, and I am happy to provide support when families need an extra set of hands. Whether you're looking for occasional evening care, a weekend date night, coverage during appointments or errands, or simply time to recharge, I aim to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind while ensuring children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
