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.

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.

Hello! My name is Emily Thompson and I am currently an Elementary Education major at the University of South Carolina. I have had two childcare related positions in the past two years and I have absolutely loved them (after school and summer camp counselor with the YMCA)! These jobs are what made me decide to go to school to become a teacher and I hope to build on that experience through these jobs! I am patient, empathetic, and an excellent communicator. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Kariah
I have extensive experience working with children, beginning in my early years assisting in my grandmother’s daycare, where I developed a strong foundation in childcare. I later advanced my experience at KinderCare Learning Centers, serving as both an infant teacher and a floater, which allowed me to support children across various age groups and developmental stages. I am deeply passionate about nurturing children’s growth and creating a safe, positive environment where they can thrive. I pay close attention to each child’s individual needs and behavioral patterns, enabling me to quickly recognize and respond to any changes. My attentiveness, compassion, and commitment to child well-being ensure that every child under my care feels supported, secure, and valued.

Grayson
Hi! My name is Grayson. I am currently working as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant at a pediatric private practice, where I work closely with children to support their communication, play skills, and overall development. I have extensive experience working with children of different ages and needs, including those with speech and language delays. My training has helped me become very patient, attentive, and creative when engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities. I completed my undergraduate degree in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at The College of New Jersey, graduating summa cum laude, and I am currently continuing my professional path in the field of speech-language pathology. Working with children is truly something I love, and I enjoy helping them learn, play, and build confidence. I also come from a family that owns a pet sitting business, so I am very comfortable with animals and happy to help care for pets as well. In addition to childcare, I’m glad to assist with light housekeeping and helping keep things organized around the house. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving their kids in my care.
