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.

Gwendolyn
My name is Gwendolyn Brown but I only go by Gi or Gigi. I am 26 years old and have been working with kids all my life. I worked in my church nursery and children's church at the age of 13 and currently I work at an autism center as an RBT. Also, I am in school getting my Doctorate for PT because in the future my hearts desire is to work with children as a pediatric physical therapist.

Janice
Hi! My name is Janice, and I am a responsible, compassionate, trustworthy, and energetic caregiver currently studying Biology Pre-Med at Hampton University with aspirations of becoming a pediatric dentist. I have always had a passion for working with children and creating positive environments where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. My experience with children began in high school and has continued through volunteering at my church, where I assist with children’s church, arts and crafts, holiday parties, and Vacation Bible School activities. Through these experiences, I have learned the importance of patience, communication, creativity, and leadership when caring for kids of all ages. I love helping children learn, grow, and gain confidence while making sure they are having fun in a safe and caring environment. I enjoy creating engaging activities, encouraging creativity, and being someone children can feel comfortable around. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and positive while providing quality care for their children. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends, watching television, and exploring new opportunities for personal and professional growth. One thing to know about me is that I am always open to learning new things and bringing positive energy wherever I go. I am looking for a babysitting opportunity with a welcoming family and a flexible, positive environment where I can continue doing what I love caring for and supporting children.

Meriah
I am 30 years old, and I am an active-duty rescue swimmer in the US Navy, so I am CPR + First Aid certified. Before I joined the navy, I had a total of 8 years of experience as a Nanny and babysitter. Three of those years were for two children, girl (3) and boy with autism (5). Concurrently, five of the years I babysat for 2 young boys (aged 6mo-5yr &3-8). Additional years included babysitting for multiple families through word-of-mouth ages ranging from 4 months to 10 years old. Though I haven’t been paid as a nanny or babysitter in 7 years, I still help out friends in the military with their kids of all ages. I am very active, patient, and enjoy connecting with kids. I look forward to helping and supporting!

Hi! I’m Mylah, and caring for children has always been a passion of mine. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve spent years naturally stepping into a nurturing and responsible role, which led me to nannying, babysitting, teaching, and children’s ministry. My Christian faith is at the heart of how I care for others, and I strive to lead with kindness, patience, integrity, and compassion. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can grow and families feel at peace.
