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.

Nishi
I've always enjoyed being around kids and have had quite a bit experience caring for them. In highschool, I took an Early Childhood Education class where I got hands on-experience working with preschoolers. I've also babysat my younger brother and cousins, so I'm comfortable keeping your kids entertained, helping with routines, and making sure they're safe and having a good time. I'm also BLS certified and have my Nursing Assistant Certification, so I'm trained in saftey and know how to stay calm and handle different situations. I'm a responsible, patient, and caring person, and I'd love the opportunity to help out.

I'm creative, energetic, and great at building positive connections with children — especially those who need a little extra patience and understanding. Whether it's homework help, structured routines, or fun daily activities, I'm here to make your child feel supported and your life easier.

Hello! I’ve worked with children professionally as a teachers assistant for 3-4 years and love every second of it. My favorite activities to do are arts and crafts along with music since I strongly believe kids learn best through play and should be able to express themselves creatively.
