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.

I have over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience working with children of different ages, from infants to school-age kids. Throughout the years, I have supported families with daily routines, homework help, meal preparation, playtime, and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. I am patient, responsible, and very attentive to each child’s individual needs. In addition, I have 2 years of experience working as a substitute teacher, which has strengthened my skills in classroom management, lesson support, and engaging children in educational activities. This background helps me create structured, fun, and age-appropriate activities while also ensuring children feel supported and encouraged. I am reliable, caring, and committed to providing high-quality care that helps children learn, grow, and feel safe.

I’m all about making kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited to have fun. I can’t wait to meet your family and bring some positivity and creativity to your home!

Audrey
I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for in a safe and positive environment. I’ve always valued building meaningful connections, and working with kids allows me to bring patience, creativity, and empathy into each day. I love creating calm, structured environments where kids can feel safe and have fun! I have professional experience supporting individuals with different needs through my work as a Direct Support Professional, which required a lot of patience, communication, and responsibility — skills that translate very well into childcare. Outside of that, I’ve helped care for younger relatives and family friends’ children, handling routines like meals, playtime, and bedtime. I’m comfortable creating engaging, age-appropriate activities and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. I’m trained in providing direct care and support, including de-escalation, active listening, maintaining safety, and medication administration . I’m also very organized and attentive, which helps with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. My experience as a DSP helped me build strong communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have my CPR and First Aid certification.
