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.

Hi! I’m Zeke, and I’m passionate about creating positive, supportive experiences for children. I’ve worked as a 4th grade teacher and have experience supporting students with learning disabilities, so I understand the importance of patience, communication, and consistency. I’m dependable, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, encouraging environment.

Galyam
Hi! I’m Galyam, a babysitter with years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for children. I’ve spent the past 4 years working at Kids After Hours with kindergarten through 5th graders, and before that, I was a child swimming teacher. I’ve also been around kids my entire life since my mom has owned an in-home daycare since I was 10. I’m a certified school teacher and First Aid/CPR certified through Kids After Hours, and I’m currently working toward my medication administration certification. I’m 19 turning 20 on February 3rd and I absolutely love kids providing safe attentive and engaging care is something I truly enjoy.

Hi there! I’m an outgoing and responsible babysitter who loves working with kids. As a pediatric dental assistant, I’m used to helping children feel safe and comfortable, and I bring that same energy to babysitting. I’m CPR certified and have been babysitting for more than ten years. I enjoy keeping children aged 4 and up engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities!

Jouel
Hi! My name is Jouel, and I’ve been caring for children for the past seven years. I started babysitting for family and friends, and over time, it turned into something I truly enjoy and have become really confident in. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I’m comfortable handling everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework help and fun, engaging activities. I always aim to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where kids feel supported and parents feel at ease. I’m reliable, patient, and I understand how important it is to tailor my care to each child’s personality and needs. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same care and energy to your family!
