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.

The laughter that a toddler makes when they have discovered something new is one of the best sounds that you could ever hear. My experience covers a range of care for infants to high schoolers. I've worked in daycare settings as the lead and assistant teacher for infants to Pre-Kindergarten. I chose to branch out, and worked in professional settings after receiving my bachelor's degree. I have worked as a family liaison for a Tindley Genesis Academy in Indianapolis, Indiana and have been a Site based Program Manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Chicago. **** I currently prefer to work with ages 2 and younger. ***

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.
