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.

Morgan
My name is Morgan Leecost, and I would love the opportunity to be your babysitter. I have experience working with both younger and older children, which has helped me understand the different ways kids learn, interact, and of course play. As a current OT student at Thomas Jefferson University, I’ve gained valuable knowledge about child development and how to support children in a way that’s both fun and mindful of their unique needs. I aim to create a safe, caring, and engaging environment, where your child will feel comfortable and supported, while also making sure their specific needs are met in a thoughtful way. I’d be honored to help out and provide your child with the attention and care!

Martina
Hi! My name is Martina and I've been in the business of child care for over 4 years. I've worked with all ages ( newborn to 14 yrs). I've done countless short term jobs and just recently got done a long term position of 2 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have my own car and am comfortable driving children around. I am a naturally energetic person and love to play games and entertain kids. I am very creative and prioritize kids hands on learning. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable, which allows me to connect easily with children. I tend to communicate with parents at pickup and through regular text or phone updates, always following your preferred method. I am also happy to help with cooking for the child, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I am not particularly fond of pets.

Imani
Welcome! I am Imani, your trusting and caring nanny with over 4 years of hands-on experience in childcare, I’ve had the joy of working as a nanny, summer camp leader, after-school teacher, and babysitter. Each role has deepened my passion for working with children and creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I’m currently in college studying to become a pediatric nurse, combining my love for kids with my dedication to their health and well-being. Whether it’s through educational games, creative activities, or outdoor play, I strive to make every moment meaningful and fun for the children in my care. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves what they do, brings energy and responsibility to every day, and always puts your child’s needs first — I’d love to connect with your family! 💕
