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.

William
Hello! My name is William Powell, and I’m excited to introduce myself to the SitterTree community. I bring over 8 years of experience working with children across multiple grade levels, from Kindergarten through 8th grade. I currently serve as an Science Teacher and Coach, where I support students academically, socially, and behaviorally in a structured and nurturing environment. Throughout my career, I’ve taught a wide range of ages and abilities including students with special needs and I am trained in behavior management, classroom routines, safety protocols, and hands-on learning. My background in Special Education and my certifications, including CPR and CPI, allow me to create a calm, safe, and engaging environment for every child I work with. Families appreciate that I am patient, responsible, consistent, and able to build positive relationships quickly. I always strive to make children feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn or play. Whether helping with homework, creating fun activities, keeping children on their routines, or ensuring safe supervision, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative at all times. I look forward to supporting families and providing high-quality childcare through SitterTree!

I have over 4 years of experience in childcare with a background as both a nanny and a preschool teacher. I have also have experience with housekeeping, errands, and meal preparation tasks. I’m comfortable in households with pets, I was previously a kennel tech, and don’t mind caring for them as well. 🐾. I have had the joy of working with multiple age groups throughout the years ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old.

Hello, my name is Wendy Kelley. I enjoy working with kids, but don’t get to do it in my full-time job. So do you feel like extra time on the weekends. I’m looking to babysit. I have two grown children of my own and many nieces and nephews that I’ve helped raise. Most of all, I enjoy children. I’m looking to give you a night out or you and your husband a night away! I am available Friday evenings some Saturday evenings and most Sundays.

My name is Sarah and I am a current nursing student at Trevecca University in Nashville. I have 2 years of experience with childcare through my church.

Arloa
My name is Arloa Fine. I have about four years experience in childcare, working with kids ranging from 3 months through 5 years. I am currently a part time nanny for a two year old litle boy. Before that, I worked as a full time nanny in the mornings and overnights caring for a preschool child with special needs. I’ve also served many families throughout the Nashville and surrounding areas, baby sitting multiple children ranging from toddler to junior high. Some of these positions were 1:1 while others were with multiple children with significant age differences. Prior to nannying and baby sitting, l worked as a lead teacher in a 12-24 month classroom, which eventually included children 8 months old and up due to changes in the daycare. In this position, I learned to care for multiple children at once doing diaper changes, overseeing nap time, and providing engaging activities, such as book reading, crafts, and other age appropriate activities. Along with facilitating a safe and engaging environment, I kept clear and open communication with all of the parents/ guardians of each child in my care. Before working in childcare, I obtained my bachelors degree in music education and taught elementary music for 14 years. In total, I have almost twenty years of experience interacting with children and creating safe, nurturing , engaging and fun environments. Some of those experiences have been paid and some were volunteer. In addition to volunteering in my church’s childrens church, I also served as a youth leader for over ten years. I truly love working with children of all ages, and with my background in music education, I love to bring interactive experiences, including music, games, movement, and adventure to every role that I am in. I would love the opportunity to serve your family.
