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.

Emy
I'm a mother of 3 (all adults), Gigi of 1. I am a part-time caregiver of my disabled sister. I'm also a Realtor. I'm looking for another stream of revenue to supplement my income and desire to do something along the lines of what I'm passionate about. My passion is people, especially children. My expertise is families with special needs as I have an adult son on the spectrum and my sister whom I have cared for all my life. It takes special people to work with special people and God has given me that gift. I also treat everyone like my family.

I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and reliable, and I strive to make both children and parents feel comfortable and confident while they are in my care. Whether it’s engaging kids in fun activities, helping with meals, keeping up with routines, or simply providing a positive and nurturing atmosphere, I am committed to giving every family my very best.

Aly
Hi! I have extensive experience working with children ranging from 4 months to 11 years old. I have provided nurturing and reliable care as a babysitter, ensuring children’s safety while supporting their growth through play, learning, and daily routines. In addition, my role as a preschool teacher allowed me to develop and lead age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, social skills, and early academic development. I am skilled at creating a positive, structured environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn. My experience has strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs.

Erin
I’m currently enrolled in my local university studying Elementary Education after a recent internship I had within an elementary school. During that time, I worked with various students with different ways of learning. Although everyone learns differently, I still managed and tried my best to include and help the kids understand my lessons and what was being said by my mentor. I love working with children and until I get my teaching position, would love to babysit/nanny beside my school schedule.

Asia
I've always had a deep love for working with children, which has inspired my journey through nursing school with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I'm passionate about building hands on experience in pediatric care and supporting kids through compassionate, attentive healthcare. My previous babysitting experiences have solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives. With 2 years of experience caring for children I'm confident in providing thoughtful and engaging care for up to 2 children at a time. I'm born and raised in Florida and recently moved to the area due to spouse being in the navy. I'm now seeking a reliable and fulfilling opportunity where I can bring the experience I've gained while continuing to build my skills to better prepare for my aspirations as a nurse and child caregiving. I take joy and pride in everything I do and would be honored to be a part of your family's journey.
