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.

Sydney
Hi! I am a first year biology student at the UIC, I graduated in the top 10 percent of my class in highschool. I have spent the last 8 years caring for my little sister after school while my parents worked. From the time she was born when I was 11 to now she has been my favorite person ever and I found a love for child care in her. I have cared for her when she was sick and when she was healthy, when she was excited and when she was sad or angry, when she had free time and when she had homework to get done. I will care for your kids just as I would my own little sister because I understand that they're your little pipers and you love them just as much as I love her.

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.

Dalilah
Hi! My name is Dalilah, and I am a 21-year-old assistant preschool teacher with over 10 years of experience caring for and working with children. Helping little ones learn, grow, and discover the world around them is something I truly love. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and encouraged to be themselves, and I strive to create a classroom where they can build confidence, make friends, and have fun while learning. I enjoy creating engaging, hands-on activities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. Building trusting relationships with children and their families is one of the most rewarding parts of my job, and I am committed to providing a nurturing, supportive environment where every child can thrive. It is a privilege to be part of each child's early learning journey, and I look forward to making a positive difference in their lives every day.
