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 there! I’m so glad you’re here. I have a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies, and supporting kids as they grow, learn, and explore truly brings me joy. I’m an active person who loves the outdoors—whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or finding little adventures throughout the day. I also enjoy quieter moments like reading together, as well as fun dance and singing parties when it’s time to get our energy out! I’m looking forward to building meaningful, trusting relationships with families and becoming a positive, dependable presence in your child’s world. I can’t wait to connect!

Amy
Hi there! My name is Amy, and I’m a special education teacher with loads of experience with kids, from babysitting and nannying, to being a camp counselor and swim instructor. I love working with kids, as I get to act like a kid myself and have some fun!

Helen
I have been working with children for many years, even as a little girl I would help out in church groups looking after the little ones. Throughout my teen years I would do work through the YMCA with young kids and now I'm currently at work with a daycare! Looking for a change of pace but have always had a dedication for children! I'm huge on communication and emotional regulation and empathy with children, their little bodies are experiencing such new emotions, I feel it's crucial they can learn to regulate them, so that they can be successful with whatever comes their way. I love the outdoors and have a passion for the arts which I love to incorporate into my childcare as well!

Tanae
hello! my name is Tanae. Most of my childcare experience comes from watching my younger cousins which taught me patience and how to keep kids happy and safe. I enjoy playing games, helping with homework, and being a positive role model.

Sharita
I am a dedicated and experienced child care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I began my journey in child care at just 13 years old, which laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for supporting children’s growth and development. I spent 15 years at The Cradle Club, where I proudly worked my way through every role—from aide to Center Director—gaining a deep understanding of early childhood education, family engagement, and program leadership. Currently, I have been with Minneapolis Kids for the past two years as a Family Learning Child Care Provider, where I continue to create nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children and families. Beyond my professional experience, I am also a mother to two biological daughters, a stepson, a foster daughter, and several bonus children, which further strengthens my ability to care for and connect with children from all walks of life. I am patient, reliable, trustworthy, and a hard worker who leads with heart and purpose. The most rewarding part of working with children is the joy and authenticity they bring each day. I love witnessing their curiosity, celebrating their milestones, and being part of the small moments that light them up. Their laughter, honesty, and resilience constantly remind me to see the world through fresh eyes—and that is what makes this work so meaningful to me.

Hello! My name is Temyaia, and I am a sophomore at Howard University studying human development. My recent experience working with children was tutoring last semester.

LaRondra
Hello my name is LaRondra but I do go by Lala as well. I’m 24 years old and I have just about 10 years of experience working with kids, now half of that is not professional experience just babysitting for family, family friends, co-workers & also raising my now 4 year old daughter. The other half is professional experience from working as teacher aides in different childcare centers to working for a nanny/sitter company. Overall I would say I’m pretty well experienced with children of all ages and any race, culture, ethnicity.
