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’m comfortable with basic childcare responsibilities such as meal prep, playtime, homework help, and bedtime routines. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and try to create a safe, calm, and fun environment for them. I previously completed American Red Cross babysitting and safety training and still remember much of the material, especially around basic first aid and child safety.

As a caring and experienced childcare provider, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. With three years of experience, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your little one. I am patient, calm, creative and strive to create a safe, and loving environment. I understand that communication is key, and I keep parents regularly updated on their child's day, using their preferred method. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a structured and consistent environment. From outdoor sports to board games and educational activities, I love engaging children in a variety of fun and enriching experiences. With my First Aid and CPR training, as well as my coursework in early child development, I am well-equipped to handle many situations. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and am willing to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel.
