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.

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.

With 11 years of experience caring for children and leading in youth-serving nonprofits, I would love to connect with more parents and precious kids in my area! I'd describe my personality as enthusiastic, loving, and responsible. I like working with kids because they are precious and deserve a loving adult figure to support their growth, connect emotionally with, and trust to care for them. I started working with kids when I was 16 years old, and my church's nursery was in need of volunteers. I have been consistently volunteering ever since, and I have also worked in schools and nonprofits that have given me a strong background in caregiving. I am a devoted woman of faith committed to integrity in all of my service to others. My skills include creativity, teaching, and problem-solving. Feel free to contact me for further verification.

I have over 15 years of experience working mainly in private institutions with children ranging from 3 years old through middle school. I have also worked in daycare centers, with VPK programs, and as a Spanish teacher and substitute teacher across different grade levels. I believe one of my main strengths is patience. I enjoy cooking, going to the beach and traveling. I am the mother of two adolescents who have already graduated from university.

Experienced, reliable, and loving childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience. I worked as an au pair in the U.S. for two years, caring for toddlers and school-age children, and I later owned and operated a kindergarten in China serving 300+ children ages 2–5. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with children. I can prepare meals, help with bathing and bedtime, take children to nearby parks, and provide full-day or multi-day care independently. Safety and emotional care are always my top priorities. Based in Orlando. Trustworthy, warm, and highly experienced with young children.
