SitterTree has been a lifesaver for Peachtree Church. Every week I am met with incredible sitters who are competent, capable and who really enjoy what they are doing.
Knowing that SitterTree works tirelessly to support us as a church has made all the difference. I could not be more thankful to have SitterTree as part of our church team.

Peachtree Church
I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.

Mariama
Hi! My name is Mariama (or Mari for short), and I’m a college student who loves working with kids. I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings and cousins, and I also volunteer at a local school, helping with classroom activities and supporting younger students. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun, creative, and safe play. Whether you need a dependable sitter for a night out or occasional help, I’d love to be someone you can count on!

Faith
I pour my heart into my role as an Infant and Toddler Teacher, with over 3 years of experience caring for little ones from 6 weeks to 5 years old. I hold a Child Development degree and am excited to begin my journey in Nursing school this spring, blending my knowledge of early education with a future focus on child health. I thrive on bringing joy and happiness into their precious lives, creating engaging activities just for them, and cherishing every moment I get to watch each child grow, learn, and blossom.

Keith
Hi there — my name is Keith and I'm a preschool teacher. I have 12 years experience working with 2 - 5-year-old children. I believe every child is capable of learning and growing in a supportive environment. I also have an educational background in English and creative writing. I'm a published author. Along with babysitting, I can also do meal prep / light cooking and household chores if needed.

Kara
Hi! I’m Kara. I’m naturally patient, responsible, and great with kids, and I’ve cared for children in my family from infants to school-aged kids over the years. I’m reliable, communicative, and love creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. Whether it’s helping with routines, preparing simple meals, or planning activities, I enjoy supporting families and keeping children safe, engaged, and happy :)

Reina
Hi there! My name is Reina, and I am a dedicated caregiver with a deep love for supporting children’s growth and play. My most extensive experience comes from being a mom to my own energetic 3year old son (who is nearly four!), which has given me hands on expertise in everything from toddler meal prep to navigating big emotions. In addition to my full time role as a parent, I have experience babysitting my niece and nephew ages 4 and 6. I’m comfortable managing multiple children at once and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them to thrive.

Hallelujah
Hello families! I am Hallelujah! I am 19 years old from Alameda! I have been babysitting since highschool! I have a younger sister which I have been taking care of my whole life. Taking care of kids has always been something that has been a huge part of my life. I would love to share!

Theyshani
My journey started with two years in a daycare setting, where I learned the "nuts and bolts" of childcare. This is where i learned patience, safety, and how to handle those unpredictable moments with a calm heart. But beyond the professional experience, I’m simply someone who truly loves kids. I believe every child deserves a babysitter who is genuinely excited to see them. I’m naturally upbeat and high energy, and I love bringing that "spark" to the families I work with. Whether we’re building the world’s tallest blanket fort, reading favorite stories for the tenth time, or just chatting about their day, I aim to be a supportive, fun, and reliable presence in your home. I know how important your little ones are to you, and I promise to care for them with the same warmth, laughter, and attention I’d want for my own family. I can't wait to meet you and your kiddos!

breanna
Hello, my name is Breanna, and I am an experienced nanny with a strong background caring for babies and young children. I live very close to Orinda/Lafayette, which allows me to be reliable and punctual. I have previous childcare experience from Mexico as well as in the United States, and I can provide references from my most recent family. I am responsible, loving, patient, and very dedicated to children’s safety and well-being. I enjoy creating a calm, safe, and fun environment while following daily routines such as meals, naps, and age-appropriate activities. I have my own car, my vaccinations are up to date, and I am looking for a long-term, stable position where I can give my full commitment. My first language is Spanish, and I am currently starting English classes.
