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.

William
Hello! My name is William Powell, and I’m excited to introduce myself to the SitterTree community. I bring over 8 years of experience working with children across multiple grade levels, from Kindergarten through 8th grade. I currently serve as an Science Teacher and Coach, where I support students academically, socially, and behaviorally in a structured and nurturing environment. Throughout my career, I’ve taught a wide range of ages and abilities including students with special needs and I am trained in behavior management, classroom routines, safety protocols, and hands-on learning. My background in Special Education and my certifications, including CPR and CPI, allow me to create a calm, safe, and engaging environment for every child I work with. Families appreciate that I am patient, responsible, consistent, and able to build positive relationships quickly. I always strive to make children feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn or play. Whether helping with homework, creating fun activities, keeping children on their routines, or ensuring safe supervision, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative at all times. I look forward to supporting families and providing high-quality childcare through SitterTree!

Arloa
My name is Arloa Fine. I have about four years experience in childcare, working with kids ranging from 3 months through 5 years. I am currently a part time nanny for a two year old litle boy. Before that, I worked as a full time nanny in the mornings and overnights caring for a preschool child with special needs. I’ve also served many families throughout the Nashville and surrounding areas, baby sitting multiple children ranging from toddler to junior high. Some of these positions were 1:1 while others were with multiple children with significant age differences. Prior to nannying and baby sitting, l worked as a lead teacher in a 12-24 month classroom, which eventually included children 8 months old and up due to changes in the daycare. In this position, I learned to care for multiple children at once doing diaper changes, overseeing nap time, and providing engaging activities, such as book reading, crafts, and other age appropriate activities. Along with facilitating a safe and engaging environment, I kept clear and open communication with all of the parents/ guardians of each child in my care. Before working in childcare, I obtained my bachelors degree in music education and taught elementary music for 14 years. In total, I have almost twenty years of experience interacting with children and creating safe, nurturing , engaging and fun environments. Some of those experiences have been paid and some were volunteer. In addition to volunteering in my church’s childrens church, I also served as a youth leader for over ten years. I truly love working with children of all ages, and with my background in music education, I love to bring interactive experiences, including music, games, movement, and adventure to every role that I am in. I would love the opportunity to serve your family.
