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.

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!

Skylar
Hi! My name is Sky, I love working and being around kids. I've been in the childcare business since I was 13. Starting with babysitting and working my way up to a daycare job where I looked after lots of children at once. During the summer months I would get to run my own classroom of 15-18 kids and during the school year months I watched after around 50-60 kids alongside my coworkers. I am currently enrolled at WSU where I am double majoring in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I personally believe that becoming a teacher is my calling, something I have wanted to achieve since I was a kid myself. Im excited to find more families to babysit for! I am very flexible, can keep calm in high pressure situations, and am very kind and gentle natured.
