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.

Hello! I am so excited to meet with you and provide you with ease by looking after your kiddos. I have babysat for neighbors whose kids were between 4 and 12, volunteered with kids at the library to teach children how to garden and read, and I currently work in early literacy tutoring. I have plenty of board games, crafts, and puzzles and I love to cook. I’m also great with pets and am happy to feed, play with, and walk any pets that may need care as well.

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.
