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.

Hi! My name is Amiya, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient individual who truly enjoys spending time with children. While I’m new to professional child care, I’ve helped care for siblings, cousins, and family friends over the years. I’m eager to learn, always on time, and committed to creating a fun and safe environment for your little ones!

Maria Belen
Hello! My name is Belén and I have over 5 years of experience working with children. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate easily with both kids and parents. I have worked in a daycare with children of all ages and I am currently working at YMCA caring for infants, which has helped me develop strong skills in nurturing, safety, and child development. I am also a mom of two, so caring for children is truly a big part of my life. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors, going to parks and pools, and creating fun and safe environments for kids to learn, play, and grow. I am responsible, patient, and passionate about providing loving and attentive care for every child.

Tykedra
Hi! I’m Ty, a current middle school math teacher with a passion for working with kids and helping them grow. I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Education. I have years of experience working with children of all ages, both in and outside the classroom, and I’m known for being patient, creative, and reliable. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping kids engaged with fun activities, or creating a safe and positive environment.

Olivia
Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m a 25-year-old caregiver with a genuine passion for kids and helping families thrive. I have several years of experience working with children ages 6 and up, including two years as a personal assistant and caregiver for a private family, where I supported two children ages 10–15. During that time, I helped with school routines, homework, organization, daily activities, and keeping their home environment running smoothly. Beyond that, I’ve babysat for multiple families over the years and have served as a children’s worker and camp counselor at various churches. Those roles have given me the ability to connect quickly with kids, help them feel safe and understood, and create environments that are both fun and structured. I love getting to learn the unique personalities of every child and exploring the world with them—whether that’s doing creative activities, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, or encouraging their interests. My goal is to support families with reliability, kindness, and patience, while helping kids feel valued and confident. I’m responsible, calm under pressure, and naturally organized. I’m also very flexible with scheduling and love working with families who prefer open communication and a positive home environment. I’m excited to come alongside a family who needs dependable help and a warm, encouraging presence for their children.
