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, I’m a current toddler assistant teacher in a nursery school but have over 5 years of experience ranging from ages 6 weeks to 15 years old. One of those years being with special needs kids between the ages of 6-12 years old.

Vanessa
Hi, I’m Vanessa! Childcare is my passion, and I love helping kids learn and grow. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at Moraine Valley and hold a Level 1 ECE Credential, which I earned through hands‑on experience as an ECE intern at Reavis High School working directly in a Pre‑K classroom for 2 years. I have great hands-on classroom experience, and I’m still learning new creative ideas every day through my college classes. I’ll always make sure our days are safe, structured, and fun. A few quick facts about me: I’m fully bilingual (English/Spanish), a safe driver with my own car, and very organized with daily routines.

Kamerion
Hello! My name is Kamerion, preferably Kam, and I have babysat for parents that have twin 3 month olds to 9 years old! I always try and do activities that would entertain a child without the use of an ipad or tablet since I know screen time is a very important thing!

Nallely
Hi there! I'm Nallely. I've spent the last 5 years working with kids (especially ages 7 and up) and another 4 years as a paraprofessional for students with special needs. I'm creative, energetic, and great at building positive connections with children — especially those who need a little extra patience and understanding. Whether it's homework help, structured routines, or fun daily activities, I'm here to make your child feel supported and your life easier.

Adilene
Hello! I’ve worked with children professionally as a teachers assistant for 3-4 years and love every second of it. My favorite activities to do are arts and crafts along with music since I strongly believe kids learn best through play and should be able to express themselves creatively.

Cherish
Hello! My name is Cherish, and I previously had my own childcare business. I have over ten plus years in experience of taking care of children. I specialize in organizing play dates, tutoring children, allowing children to have fun, take them on outings, and so much more.

Jojo
As a 20-something aspiring caregiver, I'm excited to provide a nurturing environment for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. While I don't have professional experience yet, I'm a responsible, patient, and friendly individual who loves engaging kids through creative activities like drawing, reading, crafting, and music. I'm also happy to assist with homework and chores around the house. Although I don't have a car or driving license, I'm available to babysit in your home. I'm currently in college and look forward to applying my passion for childcare to support your family.

Sydney
Hi! I am a first year biology student at the UIC, I graduated in the top 10 percent of my class in highschool. I have spent the last 8 years caring for my little sister after school while my parents worked. From the time she was born when I was 11 to now she has been my favorite person ever and I found a love for child care in her. I have cared for her when she was sick and when she was healthy, when she was excited and when she was sad or angry, when she had free time and when she had homework to get done. I will care for your kids just as I would my own little sister because I understand that they're your little pipers and you love them just as much as I love her.

Isabella
Hi! My name is Isabella and I am currently in my junior year of college at Chicago College of Performing Arts. I am currently getting my Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance.
