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.

Janiya
Hi, I’m Janiya! I’m a warm, attentive, and reliable nanny who truly enjoys creating meaningful connections with the children I care for. I’m patient, observant, and intentional about making sure each child feels seen, heard, and supported. I focus on building routines that promote emotional growth, confidence, and independence while still making room for fun, imagination, and learning through play. I’m calm under pressure, great with communication, and very mindful of a family’s values and expectations. I take pride in being someone families can rely on, and I approach childcare with both professionalism and heart. Supporting a child’s growth during their early years is something I don’t take lightly, it’s a responsibility I value deeply.
