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.

Randi
Hi! My name is Randi, and I’m a 19-year-old full-time college student at North Carolina A&T State University, majoring in psychology. I have a genuine love for working with children and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can learn and grow.I enjoy baking, swimming, and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged and happy. Having a sister who is 10 years younger than me has helped shape my patience, responsibility, and nurturing nature. Being closely involved in her life has given me hands-on experience with caring for and supporting younger children. In the future, I hope to become a therapist, so I’m especially passionate about supporting children’s emotional well-being, confidence, and development. I take pride in being dependable, caring, and attentive, and I would love the opportunity to support your family.

Maryann
Hi! I’m Maryann – a college student with a big heart for little ones. I’m currently studying Neuroscience with a minor in Child Development, so I’m not just passionate about kids—I’m learning the science behind how they grow and thrive. I’ve worked in professional childcare settings, including at a daycare center, and I’ve also babysat for families in my community, church, and among friends. Whether it’s infants, toddlers or school-aged kids, I’m experienced with creating fun, safe, and engaging environments. I love incorporating songs, crafts, and games into my time with children (yes, I’m the sitter who sings along to clean-up time). Parents have trusted me for years because I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping kids learn and feel cared for. Whether you need an extra pair of hands after school or someone reliable for a date night—I’m here to help. Let me know how I can support your family!

Jordan
I have seven years of experience working with young children. I believe learning should be joyful, hands-on, and imaginative, so I design activities that blend early literacy, math readiness, and social-emotional skills with arts and crafts, sensory play, and creative projects. My approach focuses on individualized attention, safe routines, and engaging experiences that build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Kyla
Hello! My name is Kyla! I am a recent graduate of Schoolcraft College in Northville, Michigan. There I obtained a degree in Culinary Arts as well as a degree in Applied Science. Becoming a Chef has been a life-long goal of mine, inspired by my late-grandmother. I am currently a Junior at Howard University, majoring in Business Management, minoring in Psychology, with a concentration in Hospitality. I am very family oriented, coming from a large family myself. I am the eldest of seven siblings, consisting of four brothers and two sisters. My values are focused around traditions, integrity, and gratitude! I believe that children should start on the shoulder's of those who came before them, rather than everyone starting from the ground up. It is important to me to be a helping, guiding hand as well as an exceptional role model. I am a clear and efficient communicator who prioritizes collaboration and creative thinking while holding space for big emotions, individuality, and growth.

Shelby
Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a sweet 1-year-old, and caring for children is something I truly enjoy. I have experience with kids from newborns through age 8, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for little ones. Because I have my own baby at home, I only provide care from my house—this also gives my son a wonderful chance to socialize and play with other children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I also work part-time as a pharmacy technician, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and attention to detail. As both a mom and a sitter, I know how important it is to feel confident your child is safe and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to support your family by providing dependable, loving care in my home.

Fatou
I’m a full-time MSU student and Army Reservist from Senegal, living in Sterling Heights. I’ve cared for my twin brothers since age 8, the family’s go-to sitter. I love spending time with kids and watching them grow into amazing young people."
