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.

Attaliah
Hi! My name is Attaliah, and I have experience working with children through babysitting, tutoring, and childcare support. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and passionate about helping kids build confidence while having fun.

I am a sophomore at the university of Tampa. I have spent the last few summers babysitting for a few different families. I have experienced as a Sunday school teachers assistant.

Emily
Hi! I'm Emily,I am 20 years old and I've been babysitting for around 6 years! Most has been family and friends. I've taken care of kids ages 3mo to 16 years old.

Anna
Hi, I’m Anna! I’m currently a Pre-Med Allied Health student and plan to graduate in May 2026. I have extensive childcare experience, both during the school year and over the summer. During the school year, I’ve helped one main family by getting children ready for school, putting them on the bus, picking them up, supervising after school until parents return home, providing transportation to daycare, and driving them to practices and activities. In the summer, I’ve enjoyed taking kids swimming, bringing them to lessons (including golf), and planning fun, active days. In addition to babysitting, I’ve been a gymnastics coach for over four years, working with children ages 3-14. Through that role, I’ve gained experience in not only keeping kids active and engaged but also teaching discipline, patience, and confidence in a supportive environment.

Gladys
Being a mom has been my greatest joy, and becoming a grandma is my proudest moment. With over 30 years of experience caring for children, I’ve learned that every child deserves patience, love, and understanding. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, experienced with infants, children with disabilities, and newborn care. Children are my world. I believe the most important years of a person’s life are shaped in childhood, where kindness and care build their future. “To the world you may be one person, but to one child, you may be the world.”

Angelina
Hi! My name is Angelina and I’m a second-year college student studying healthcare. I’ve always loved working with kids and have experience caring for children of all ages, mostly through helping out family and close friends. Along the way, I’ve also cared for children with different needs, including kids with autism (even in more severe cases), nonverbal children, those with ADHD, and even little ones who sometimes struggle with big emotions. I’ve also tutored children with learning disabilities, which has taught me how important patience and encouragement can be. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, caring, and calm under pressure. I do my best to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for.
