We’re a women-owned and operated app committed to helping parents, preschools, and religious organizations find child care when they need it most. What started as a babysitter’s club in Atlanta has grown into a trusted network across the nation. But what hasn’t changed are the neighborly values SitterTree was founded on—because we believe truly great child care is rooted in community.

Hello! My name is Kennedy, and I am currently a graduate student studying public health with a concentration in child and maternal health at UIC. Before starting grad school, I worked at a daycare for two years. Here, I cared for ages 3 months to 5 years. Furthermore, I have experience babysitting ages 1year-10 years.

Jojo
As a 20-something aspiring caregiver, I'm excited to provide a nurturing environment for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. While I don't have professional experience yet, I'm a responsible, patient, and friendly individual who loves engaging kids through creative activities like drawing, reading, crafting, and music. I'm also happy to assist with homework and chores around the house. Although I don't have a car or driving license, I'm available to babysit in your home. I'm currently in college and look forward to applying my passion for childcare to support your family.

Sydney
Hi! I am a first year biology student at the UIC, I graduated in the top 10 percent of my class in highschool. I have spent the last 8 years caring for my little sister after school while my parents worked. From the time she was born when I was 11 to now she has been my favorite person ever and I found a love for child care in her. I have cared for her when she was sick and when she was healthy, when she was excited and when she was sad or angry, when she had free time and when she had homework to get done. I will care for your kids just as I would my own little sister because I understand that they're your little pipers and you love them just as much as I love her.

Hi there! I'm Nallely. I've spent the last 5 years working with kids (especially ages 7 and up) and another 4 years as a paraprofessional for students with special needs. I'm creative, energetic, and great at building positive connections with children — especially those who need a little extra patience and understanding. Whether it's homework help, structured routines, or fun daily activities, I'm here to make your child feel supported and your life easier.

Adilene
Hello! I’ve worked with children professionally as a teachers assistant for 3-4 years and love every second of it. My favorite activities to do are arts and crafts along with music since I strongly believe kids learn best through play and should be able to express themselves creatively.
