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.

Heyy, I’m Janelle! I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience working with kids as both a camp counselor-intern and a family babysitter.

I love creating a playful, safe environment where kids feel comfortable to be themselves!

I have hands-on experience working with children in both educational and recreational settings. As a substitute teacher, I managed classrooms, implemented lesson plans, and ensured a safe and supportive learning environment for students of varying ages. Additionally, as a camp counselor, I facilitated group activities, promoted teamwork, and supported the social and emotional growth of campers. These experiences have strengthened my ability to communicate effectively with children, adapt to diverse needs, and create engaging, positive environments.

Hi! My name is Afia, and I truly enjoy caring for children and helping families feel supported. I love being a sitter because every day brings something new—whether it’s playing outside, helping with homework, or encouraging creativity through crafts and games. I have experience working with children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids, through babysitting, volunteering, and community service. Families can count on me to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their child’s needs. In addition, I bring strong communication and organizational skills, along with CPR/First Aid training to ensure safety at all times. I believe in creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn and grow.

Parris
Hi! My name is Parris, I’m 19 years old, and I truly love working with kids. Being a sitter isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy because I love creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where children can feel comfortable and happy. I have a strong background in childcare from both personal and professional experience. I worked as a party host at a laser tag center, where I was responsible for managing groups of kids, keeping them engaged, and making sure everyone had a great time. I’m also the go-to babysitter in my family, trusted by relatives to care for their children regularly. Growing up with 8 siblings has given me a lot of hands-on experience with kids of all ages, and it’s taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle different personalities with ease. I’m reliable, attentive, and great at keeping kids entertained while also making sure they’re safe and well cared for. Whether it’s helping with routines, playing games, or just being someone they can trust, I always bring a positive and nurturing energy. I look forward to meeting your family and providing care you can feel confident about! 😊
