You're on the search for your new favorite babysitter.
At SitterTree, we know your family has its own unique needs, so we created profile badges to make finding your perfect sitter a cinch.
Profile badges are easily identifiable icons on your babysitter' or nanny's profile. Badges show off a each sitter's certifications, experience, and commitment to safety to help you find babysitter who will be the best fit for your family.
The best part?
Profile badge represents experience or certification by organizations you know and trust, like the American Red Cross or Ministry Safe.

- Determine which profile badge(s) are most important to you and your family. (Pro tip: there's no limit!)
- Open the SitterTree app to post a free job for a babysitter or nanny.
- Look for specific profile badges when viewing applicant profiles as you make your selection.
You're one step closer to finding your perfect babysitter!
How Profile Badges Work
- All babysitters and nannies complete a background check through Checkr in order to join SitterTree.
- Some babysitters may earn other optional profile badges for additional experience and certifications.
- All profile badges are self-reported and not verified. You should verify experience directly with your sitter before your job.
Profile badges help you choose sitters with the experience you need. Now, go take that date night!
