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, "As a proud mom of two wonderful girls, aged 10 and 8, I understand the importance of finding someone who not only cares for your children but also creates a nurturing and fun environment. I’ve spent years honing my caregiving skills, ensuring that my own daughters feel loved, safe, and supported—something I’m passionate about sharing with the children I look after. When it comes to babysitting, I believe in creating positive, engaging experiences. Whether it’s crafting, reading, outdoor play, or simply enjoying a movie night, I love tailoring activities to match the interests and needs of each child. I’m always ready to provide a caring, attentive, and fun atmosphere while ensuring safety and structure. I look forward to meeting your little ones and helping them have a fantastic time while you’re away!

I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Florida and am currently interning on Capitol Hill. I have experience working with children of all ages, from infants through teenagers. My background includes three summers as a camp counselor, three years as a youth volleyball coach, work as a youth waterskiing instructor, and babysitting. I also served as a lifeguard for three summers. In addition, I interned and volunteered with the education and youth department of a domestic violence shelter, where I provided childcare for the children of survivors, taught community violence prevention classes, and led youth support groups focused on social-emotional learning. I am comfortable and confident caring for children of all ages and am happy to work with families with diverse needs.
