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.

Jenna
Hi! I have nanny experience caring for children ages 1 and 4, and I’m comfortable with toddlers and preschool-age kids. I help with daily routines like meals, naps, and bedtime, along with light meal prep and keeping play areas tidy. I enjoy outdoor and nature play, arts and crafts, reading, and imaginative play, and I prefer to keep screen time minimal. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and good with keeping a consistent routine.

Hi, my name is Zephaniah Haynes! I’m 19 years old, have my own reliable transportation. While I’m new to babysitting through this app, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family members’ children—always receiving positive feedback! I truly enjoy working with kids and making a difference in their lives. I’m respectful of every family’s rules and will always check in before making any decisions. I also love cooking (just let me know about any allergies), playing games, keeping kids entertained, and helping with homework. Plus, I don’t mind tidying up to make things easier for parents. Caring for children is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing a fun, safe, and supportive environment to every family I work with!

Asia
Hi! My name is Asia, and I’m an experienced and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys working with children. While attending college in Atlanta, I gained experience caring for children with different personalities, ages, and needs, including children who are nonverbal. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. Now that I’m back in Chicago, I’m looking to connect with local families who need part-time or one-time babysitting. Whether you need care for a few hours, a date night, an event, or occasional help throughout the week, I’m happy to help. I’m responsible, caring, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for every child I care for.
