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.

Holland
Hi, I’m Holland! I’m an incoming medical student with over 6 years of babysitting experience, and I truly love working with children of all ages. I’ve cared for infants, managed multiple children at once, and have experience supporting children on the spectrum. I pride myself on being an engaged, attentive, and dependable caregiver. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or keeping little ones on a consistent routine, I always aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’m very hands-on and make a point to be fully present with the kids I’m caring for! My background in medicine also means I’m especially mindful of safety, health, and communication with parents. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide care you can feel confident about!

Semone
As a mom of 2, soon to be 3, I know what it means to nurture a child. I believe in training my children up in the way they should go. I love doing arts and crafts with the kids. We sing gospel songs and age appropriate songs together. I am not a huge fan of YouTube, but I love being more hands on “pencil to paper”. I create workbooks to cater to each child. I also provide Spanish teaching, Sight word flash cards, and Biblical teaching (parents choice). I’m a huge fan of hooked on phonics, so this course can be provided as well. I have my own vehicle. I rather to pick up the child and sit in my home, if possible. I cook and provide snacks as well. Thank you.
