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.

Holland
Hi, I’m Holland! I’m an incoming medical student with over 6 years of babysitting experience, and I truly love working with children of all ages. I’ve cared for infants, managed multiple children at once, and have experience supporting children on the spectrum. I pride myself on being an engaged, attentive, and dependable caregiver. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or keeping little ones on a consistent routine, I always aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’m very hands-on and make a point to be fully present with the kids I’m caring for! My background in medicine also means I’m especially mindful of safety, health, and communication with parents. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide care you can feel confident about!

Janiya
Hi, I’m Janiya! I’m a warm, attentive, and reliable nanny who truly enjoys creating meaningful connections with the children I care for. I’m patient, observant, and intentional about making sure each child feels seen, heard, and supported. I focus on building routines that promote emotional growth, confidence, and independence while still making room for fun, imagination, and learning through play. I’m calm under pressure, great with communication, and very mindful of a family’s values and expectations. I take pride in being someone families can rely on, and I approach childcare with both professionalism and heart. Supporting a child’s growth during their early years is something I don’t take lightly, it’s a responsibility I value deeply.

Oluwadamilola (Dami)
Hello, my name is Dami. I am a 24 years old college student who is also a mom to a 2year old boy. I am the oldest of four, having two sisters close in age, and the youngest being my 6year old brother. I have always taken care of kids, whether my little siblings, Sunday school kids in church, church summer programs kids, and now my son. I also have experience taking care of kids with disabilities and medical conditions including Down syndrome and autism. I love taking care of kids, and I would say they always gravitate towards me as well.

Emily
A bit about me: I am a 26 year old mom of 3 (2 bonus babies that are 8 & 11, and my bio baby who is 3) and I’m childcare provider and early childhood educator of over 7 years. I currently work as a Special Education self containment teacher for Baltimore City Public Schools. Prior to my time in formal classroom settings, I was a nanny for 2 families doing a nanny share with 4 kids. The girls were 18 months when I began and both moms in the families had babies during my time, so by the end of my time with them they were about 3 and 9 months. My day to day with them included meal preparation and serving, changing diapers, taking them to play in nearby parks and on walks, providing educational and developmentally appropriate activities and crafts, as well as helping assist in potty training and general social and emotional development. I am in the process of trying to leave the public school system, as I find myself wanting to be able to show up more presently in my home life as well as develop my personal passions in my spare time. I currently have to work multiple jobs to support my family and would love to return to a job that not only is fulfilling for my passion as a childcare provider while allowing me time and energy to develop my own family and hobbies. I’d love to set up a time to do an interview! Let me know if you’d be interested.
