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.

Emily
Hello! My name is Emily Thompson and I am currently an Elementary Education major at the University of South Carolina. I have had two childcare related positions in the past two years and I have absolutely loved them (after school and summer camp counselor with the YMCA)! These jobs are what made me decide to go to school to become a teacher and I hope to build on that experience through these jobs! I am patient, empathetic, and an excellent communicator. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

I have childcare experience through working in my church daycare, babysitting, and caring for children of different ages.

Kariah
I have extensive experience working with children, beginning in my early years assisting in my grandmother’s daycare, where I developed a strong foundation in childcare. I later advanced my experience at KinderCare Learning Centers, serving as both an infant teacher and a floater, which allowed me to support children across various age groups and developmental stages. I am deeply passionate about nurturing children’s growth and creating a safe, positive environment where they can thrive. I pay close attention to each child’s individual needs and behavioral patterns, enabling me to quickly recognize and respond to any changes. My attentiveness, compassion, and commitment to child well-being ensure that every child under my care feels supported, secure, and valued.

Grayson
Hi! My name is Grayson. I am currently working as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant at a pediatric private practice, where I work closely with children to support their communication, play skills, and overall development. I have extensive experience working with children of different ages and needs, including those with speech and language delays. My training has helped me become very patient, attentive, and creative when engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities. I completed my undergraduate degree in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at The College of New Jersey, graduating summa cum laude, and I am currently continuing my professional path in the field of speech-language pathology. Working with children is truly something I love, and I enjoy helping them learn, play, and build confidence. I also come from a family that owns a pet sitting business, so I am very comfortable with animals and happy to help care for pets as well. In addition to childcare, I’m glad to assist with light housekeeping and helping keep things organized around the house. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving their kids in my care.
