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.

I am a reliable and creative professional with extensive knowledge in child development. I hold a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from University of Maryland , and have experience working with young children with special needs. My background includes working with multiple Early Intervention Programs, where I have supported families and guided them through their child’s developmental stages. Besides English, I also speak Portuguese and Spanish. I am currently seeking additional hours babysitting newborns and toddlers (up to 2 years old). I live in the Burlington ,MA area.

Rachel
Hi! I’m Rachel. I grew up as the middle child with an older brother and a younger brother, so taking care of kids has pretty much been part of my life from the start. I spent a lot of time helping with my little brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle the unexpected. I also have a dog at home, so I’m super comfortable around pets and love having them around while I’m babysitting. Last summer, I worked as a camp counselor at a drowning-prevention camp in Uganda, where I helped kids ages 4–12. It was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had, and it really strengthened my ability to work with different personalities and energy levels. I currently tutor a few middle schoolers in science over Zoom and have experience teaching a student with ADHD, so I’m familiar with supporting different learning needs. I also help my friends’ younger siblings with homework pretty often. Overall, I love being around kids, staying engaged with them, and creating a fun and safe environment. I’d be excited to get to know your family!

Kostoula
Hi my name is Kostoula Dalavouras. I have hands-on experience in early childhood education, where I focus on supporting and nurturing the developmental needs of young children. In addition to my professional background, I also have personal experience caring for my neighbors kids and my 1-year-old godson and my nephews, who are 1.5 and 2 years old. This has given me a deep understanding of the different stages of development and the needs of children at various ages. I enjoy babysitting on weekends and weekday nights, creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where kids can thrive. Whether through play, learning, or offering comfort, I love seeing children grow and develop in a positive, supportive atmosphere.

My name is Sinan. I am here in America 13 years ago. I worked in a large group of companies and gained experience in working and dealing with people. I have experience that I gained from my country and added it here for many years through my work. It is customer service, which I believe will help me in this work.

Hi, my name is Joyce Kimani. I am a responsible and energetic person with experience working with children of various ages. After eighth grade, I worked as a camp counselor where I supervised and supported children in activities while helping create a fun and safe environment. During my junior year of high school, I also worked with children and babies in swim instruction, helping them feel comfortable in the water while teaching basic swimming and safety skills. These experiences helped me build strong communication, leadership, and caregiving skills, and I enjoy creating positive experiences for children and families.
