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.


Jada
Hi families! My name is Jada, I’m 23 years old and based in Arlington, VA. I’m a reliable, caring, and energetic caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with children of all ages. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I have experience assisting with daily routines such as meal prep, homework help, bedtime, and engaging activities like reading, crafts, and outdoor play. I’m very patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s needs and personality. I’m currently flexible with my schedule and available to start right away. I’m also open to helping with light housekeeping and maintaining a clean, organized space for your family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your children, and I always aim to bring a positive attitude, strong communication, and dependability to every family I work with. I look forward to connecting with you! m

Mariana
Hi, I'm Mariana. I bring over 5 years of hands-on childcare experience to every family I work with, across the full range: nanny, babysitter, support teacher, and lead teacher. That range means I'm comfortable whether it's one-on-one time with an infant or holding down a full classroom of preschoolers on my own. My teaching philosophy centers on play-based learning, with a specific focus on the Reggio Emilia approach. I believe children learn best when they're given the freedom to explore, ask questions, and direct their own discovery, with a caring adult nearby to guide and support rather than dictate. I try to treat every child as a capable, curious individual with their own voice. I'm steady, attentive, and genuinely love this work — the good days and the hard ones. Families can count on me to show up consistent and present, and to treat their kids with the same care I'd want for my own.
