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.

Hayden
Hi! My name is Hayden Wilson, I am 25 years old and currently living in Edgewater. I moved to Chicago from St. Louis about 2 years ago. Since my move, I have worked for a nanny company. I worked with children from 6 months to 12 years, ranging from in-home care to events with up to 40 children! I love planning crafts and activities, and most of all seeing what children can make when given different materials and creative tools. While living in St. Louis I worked at The Little Gym as a children’s gymnastics instructor (ages 3-8) and at Kindercare as an assistant teacher (ages 2-5). I love reading, singing, and exploring the world with the kids in my care, and getting out into nature when we can!

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.

Nishi
I've always enjoyed being around kids and have had quite a bit experience caring for them. In highschool, I took an Early Childhood Education class where I got hands on-experience working with preschoolers. I've also babysat my younger brother and cousins, so I'm comfortable keeping your kids entertained, helping with routines, and making sure they're safe and having a good time. I'm also BLS certified and have my Nursing Assistant Certification, so I'm trained in saftey and know how to stay calm and handle different situations. I'm a responsible, patient, and caring person, and I'd love the opportunity to help out.

I have over ten years of hands-on childcare experience caring for children from newborns to age ten, primarily within my family, which is a valued part of my culture. My responsibilities included feeding, bathing, putting children to sleep, reading to them, and engaging them in age-appropriate play and learning activities. I hold a certificate in Early Childhood Education, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and safety. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a warm, nurturing, and structured environment where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow emotionally, socially, and academically.
