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.

Gaoia
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. I have a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies, and supporting kids as they grow, learn, and explore truly brings me joy. I’m an active person who loves the outdoors—whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or finding little adventures throughout the day. I also enjoy quieter moments like reading together, as well as fun dance and singing parties when it’s time to get our energy out! I’m looking forward to building meaningful, trusting relationships with families and becoming a positive, dependable presence in your child’s world. I can’t wait to connect!

Amy
Hi there! My name is Amy, and I’m a special education teacher with loads of experience with kids, from babysitting and nannying, to being a camp counselor and swim instructor. I love working with kids, as I get to act like a kid myself and have some fun!

Tamere
Hi! Im Tamere, I am 23 years old with a almost 3 year old daughter. I was always the family baby sitter, but when I was 15 I started working with a daycare in Minneapolis up until I went to college. I was a “Highschool Aide” I worked with all ages in the daycare but my primary room was the toddler room. I am currently majoring in Social Work. I love children! It’s so cool that in some of my classes I take I learn about how children develop and the stages of their development.. while being a first time mom to my toddler lol. I am a very sweet, and kind, and patient and respectful woman. My kid, your kid, her kid, his kid doesnt matter who’s kid it is they’ll always be good and safe with me! 💕

Helen
I have been working with children for many years, even as a little girl I would help out in church groups looking after the little ones. Throughout my teen years I would do work through the YMCA with young kids and now I'm currently at work with a daycare! Looking for a change of pace but have always had a dedication for children! I'm huge on communication and emotional regulation and empathy with children, their little bodies are experiencing such new emotions, I feel it's crucial they can learn to regulate them, so that they can be successful with whatever comes their way. I love the outdoors and have a passion for the arts which I love to incorporate into my childcare as well!

Tanae
hello! my name is Tanae. Most of my childcare experience comes from watching my younger cousins which taught me patience and how to keep kids happy and safe. I enjoy playing games, helping with homework, and being a positive role model.

Sharita
I am a dedicated and experienced child care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I began my journey in child care at just 13 years old, which laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for supporting children’s growth and development. I spent 15 years at The Cradle Club, where I proudly worked my way through every role—from aide to Center Director—gaining a deep understanding of early childhood education, family engagement, and program leadership. Currently, I have been with Minneapolis Kids for the past two years as a Family Learning Child Care Provider, where I continue to create nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children and families. Beyond my professional experience, I am also a mother to two biological daughters, a stepson, a foster daughter, and several bonus children, which further strengthens my ability to care for and connect with children from all walks of life. I am patient, reliable, trustworthy, and a hard worker who leads with heart and purpose. The most rewarding part of working with children is the joy and authenticity they bring each day. I love witnessing their curiosity, celebrating their milestones, and being part of the small moments that light them up. Their laughter, honesty, and resilience constantly remind me to see the world through fresh eyes—and that is what makes this work so meaningful to me.
