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.

Hi I’m Catalina Barajas from Colombia. I currently take care of two boys, one of them is 14 months old and the other one is almost 3 years old. I’m a children teacher in Colombia so I used to watch 30 kids at the same time. And I started to babysit and tutoring when I was 15yo.

Caring for children isn’t just my job—it’s my passion, and every day brings a new adventure. With over six years of experience, I love being a babysitter because I get to nurture growing minds, create laughter-filled moments, and make a meaningful difference for families. My background ranges from building strong, supportive bonds with children one-on-one in home-based settings, to working with special needs students at an elementary school, to caring for infants and toddlers in a daycare as they reach milestones from first giggles to first steps. I am trained and certified in CPR, first aid, CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention), and am a qualified para-educator, ensuring I provide a safe and supportive environment for every child. What sets me apart is my compassionate and patient approach, my love for fun and creative activities, and my adventurous spirit in encouraging curiosity through play and learning. Every family is unique, and I am grateful for the chance to bring warmth, laughter, and heartfelt care to yours.

Mckenzie
Hi, I’m Mckenzie. Most of my childcare experience comes from babysitting my niece, and I’ve spent a lot of time doing the things she loves — playing online games together, dancing to her favorite music, watching her shows, and getting outside for fresh air and park time. I’m comfortable driving kids, keeping them entertained, and making sure they feel safe and supported. I also have experience grading Kumon work and helping kids with their homework, so I’m patient and good at explaining things when they get stuck. I’m responsible, fun, and always focused on making kids feel comfortable and cared for.

Hi! I’m a responsible, energetic, and experienced caregiver with several years of working with children of all ages. I’ve coached youth basketball, where I focused on building confidence, teamwork, and positive habits, and I currently work at The Evergreen School, in Shoreline Washington, gaining experience in structured, professional environments. I’m great at keeping kids active, engaged, and safe—whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or sticking to routines. I take pride in being dependable, patient, and a strong role model.

Savannah
I have a strong background in childcare that combines hands-on experience with my academic studies. I am currently a junior at Grand Canyon University, majoring in Elementary Education and Special Education, which has given me a solid understanding of child development, classroom management, and supporting diverse learners. I am originally from Washington State and have been babysitting for five years, caring for children ranging from 4 months to 10 years old. Through this, I’ve gained experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have also tutored students in grades 1–3, helping them with reading, writing, and math skills. In addition, I’ve volunteered at various elementary schools and autism programs, which has strengthened my ability to work with children of all needs and learning styles. These experiences have prepared me to provide safe, patient, and engaging care for every child I work with.
