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.

Heather
I'm a mother of two grown adult children in their 30s I also ran a daycare out of my house when I first became a single mother loved it had to sell my home so it ended about a year or so after I started it. I so enjoyed the interaction with my children in my home and taking care of other kids it' so fun and fulfilling. Hairdresser by professions always enjoyed the interaction will give you a hair service to children. I have been told by my grown adult children that I will not be having any grandchildren . I'm seeking to fulfill that void in a childcare position.

Hezekiah
Hi, my name is Hezekiah Kirkwood. I have several years of hands-on experience working with children in both daycare and before- and after-school settings. I previously worked as a childcare worker at Creative World in Belton and as a before- and after-school teacher with LINC in Kansas City, where I supported children of different age groups throughout the day. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve graduated and received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Science with an emphasis in Nutrition and Food Science, which has strengthened my understanding of child wellness and development. Overall, I bring patience, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with children.

Regina
I genuinely love being a positive influence in children's lives. I find it incredibly rewarding to guide them through new experiences, whether that's teaching them a new skill or encouraging their creativity through play. I love forming a strong, trusting bond with my little ones. And by creating a nurturing, safe environment where children can thrive. For me, this is a fulfilling career, not just a job.
