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.

Kambrie
Hi! I’m Kambrie, a freshman in college. I’m just trying to make a little extra money while i’m in school. I have two younger siblings that I watched daily back home, so I have years of experience with kids, and I enjoy watching them so that parents can have time to do what the want or need to do.

Margaret
I have taken care of children since I was a pre-teen. I worked at my aunt’s childcare center changing diapers, preparing lunch and snacks and playing with children from the ages of 9-13. In high school, I babysat and was a basketball camp counselor.. In undergrad, I was a tutor for the student athletes at my college Texas A&M. During my summer breaks, I worked with families taking care of kids in Baton Rouge. Before entering grad school, I was an academic shadow for a child at the Louisiana School for the Deaf. I also carer for a 5th grader at St.Luke’s with muscular dystrophy and drove her to physical therapy and her tutor after school. I also babysat locally and volunteered at an LSU camp for children with adhd and autism where I was the art counselor. Once in grad school, I was a tutor for the athletes at LSU, and had an internship at Early Head Start where I worked with the babies in the nursery and the teenage moms. I have been a personal nanny for infants and a sitter for children of all ages for various families while also working part time contract jobs in the field of social work since 2012.
