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.


Allison
I'm a former preschool teacher with a degree in Psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill. I also have two grown children of my own. I have worked in private homes for almost two years now. Working privately, I really get to know the children one on one. This creates a special bond not only with the children, but also with the parents. Trust is key in childcare. I work mainly with younger children (newborn to 6 years old), but I am able to work with any age group. My experience as a preschool teacher allows me to create fun learning experiences in-home, whether it is for babysitting or something more long-term. I have always loved working with children since I was a babysitter in high school and nanny during my college summers. After having my own children, I became very involved in volunteering for the school system. I assessed incoming kindergartners and tutored elementary school children. As a preschool teacher, I developed engaging activities (including daily crafts, reading, music, and play) to enhance children’s creativity and motor skills. I also created weekly themed lesson plans for the 3-year-old class. I led daily circle time to review the alphabet, numbers, shapes, calendar information, weather, and themes. This position also included communicating with parents regarding their child’s development, progress, and issues. Taking care of children is the most rewarding experience. I feel children can teach us so much about life through their eyes. I can't imagine doing anything else!

Kathleen
My name is Kathleen Elsberry and am a current resident of Winston Salem and happily married to my husband of over 30 years David. I have 3 children - 2 who are out of the house and the youngest who is a Sophomore at ECU. We have 3 dogs (2 of which are puppies) and 5 cats last, all which keep us on our toes. I am currently able to be a full time stay at home Fur Mom and enjoy it very much! I also work part time as a baby sitter for two little girls whose ages are four years old and 18 months and whose parents work for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. I have also recently enrolled in the medical coding and billing program at DeVry University Online. After I earn my undergraduate certification in this program, I will purse other degrees within the same program. I also hold several different degrees in Early Childhood Education and have taught children both in the preschool setting and Sunday School setting including those children with special needs. I also take online certificate courses involving early childhood education so as to stay current with what is needed in the classroom - inclusion in the classroom, first aid, illness prevention etc. I have just completed several courses and have printed out certificates for each completed course.

Anna
Early childhood education has been my passion since high school, where I worked in our on site day care. With experience as a lead teacher, home school teacher, nanny and nursery attendant, I know how to keep the littles safe and learning the fun way!

Arlethe (Johana)
Caring for children has always come naturally to me. I have experience as a childcare worker working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, and I love being part of their growth and development. Whether it’s playtime, learning time, or bedtime, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for what I do. I take pride in building strong connections with both children and parents and helping make each day a little easier for the family!

Roberta
Hello, I’m Roberta with over 30 years of childcare experience from being a mother of three to owning my own home daycare with special needs children. I’ve also worked at centers, church nursery, YMCA, and volunteering to keep grandchildren. I enjoy crocheting, reading, and dancing, but don’t ask me to do all of those at once! I am semi retired, so I’d like to think of City tree allowing me to be a practicing grandma!
