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.


Melissa
My name is Melissa Hinson. I am a single mom with two beautiful children. I am a school teacher in an elementary school. I teach in a special needs PreK classroom. I have been a teacher for 8 years now, but I've worked in different capacities with children for the last 30 years. I enjoy my career and it's a joy to see my children taking steps toward their goals. I love when children get engaged in hands- on activities. I would be very intentional engaging your children in any activity they might enjoy and can learn from. I feel the best thing about babysitting is their unique abilities. Children need a lot of love and support so they can thrive, stay safe and be happy.

Elza
I am a retired New York City Public School teacher of 17 years. I am currently working in the education field as an assistant teacher in Prince Georges County Public Schools. I love working with children and showing them how to be a better person. I began working with children at a camp when I was 14 years old. I knew that was my calling to work with children after that camp experience. I have experience working with newborns, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I also have experience working with special needs. I enjoy working and spending time with children because they are our future. I enjoy anything from watching television with them to assisting them with their school assignments. I believe every child is unique and can do anything they put their minds to. I believe I would be a positive influence on any child.

Ekaterina
I have been working full-time in childcare since 2021. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience as a part-time babysitter and a seasonal summer camp counselor. Before entering the childcare field, I spent 10 years in customer service. My decision to transition into childcare was a thoughtful one—I realized that my true passion has always been teaching and supporting growth in others. Since making that change, I’ve never been happier. I began my childcare career as a teacher assistant at a Montessori school, where I completed six professional development trainings. Working alongside certified Montessori teachers gave me a strong understanding of the Montessori approach. Since 2022, I’ve been working at a Reggio Emilia–inspired school, which has become my favorite educational approach. I love how it’s child-led and encourages lots of outdoor exploration and learning. During the 2023–2024 academic year, I also taught the Singapore Math curriculum to 5- to 6-year-olds in an after-school program. I’m confident working with children of different ages and always strive to create a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment for every child in my care.

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am a young professional working in the service industry. Alongside working and studying, I spent my early college years engaged in Fine Arts and Youth Ministries at my church. I was always involved with outreaches and summer events, and have volunteered in the Nursery at my home church, as well as coaching Fine Arts ministries. I'm excited to work with you!

Aurea
Hello! My name is Aurea, and I am a caring, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a lifelong passion for working with children. As a mother, grandmother, and elementary school teacher with over 27 years of experience, I have cared for children of all ages in both home and classroom settings. Raising my own children and helping care for my grandchildren has given me patience, compassion, and the ability to create a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. In addition to my family and teaching experience, I have also cared for infants and young children in my church nursery, where I ensured they were safe, comforted, and engaged in age-appropriate activities. I believe every child deserves to feel valued, encouraged, and secure. I enjoy reading stories, doing crafts, helping with homework, playing educational games, and creating fun learning experiences while maintaining a structured and safe environment. Families can count on me to be responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely committed to the well-being and happiness of every child in my care. I would be honored to provide loving, reliable care for your family.

Tania
Hi! My name is Tania Ruiz. For many years, I have worked closely with several families and their children, spanning different age groups. My most recent work experience was approximately 13 years with a loving family, which included one daughter and several dogs. My role included housekeeping, dog-sitting, watching their daughter, transporting family members, and more. Overall, I would love families to know that I always aim to put the care of them and their loved ones as my utmost priority.
