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.

Hi! I’m Ruby, and I am a junior at the University of Tennessee! I love kids and have been babysitting in my neighborhood in Nolensville, Tn for many years! I am available most days but have to work around my school schedule!

Kamaria
Hi, I’m Kamaria! I am a college student home for the summer! I’m new to babysitting outside my family, but I’ve spent plenty of time caring for my nieces and learned how to stay patient, calm, and responsible. I’m reliable, safety‑minded, and ready to build experience while helping families who need an extra hand.

Hey there! I'm Morgan, a creative and fun loving person who loves kids and pets. I've taken care of kids since I was in middle school and have had many a cat of my own (currently have 4 of my own) and pet sat for friends as an adult. I've worked for Boys and Girls Club in the past, helped with Wednesday night church classes when I was younger, and was an assistant teacher for preschoolers during Vacation Bible School one year when I was in high school. I originally intended to get my art education degree, but life happened. I love being creative and making things with my hands and I love to share that with kids. From coloring to bracelet making to even lego brick building, I think it's important for kids to use their hands and the creative side of their brains. I prefer to have as little screen time as possible and like to be outside during spring-fall when weather permits. I do have minor experience with kids with ASD as growing up one of my own younger brothers I helped take care of is diagnosed with it. I know every child is different with their needs when it comes to this, but I do understand what it's like in some capacity. My faith is also very important to me, but I do understand that some parents would rather not have their kids exposed to certain things.

Sydney
Hi, my name is Sydney, and I’m excited to introduce myself as a babysitter and nanny. I am a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys spending time with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I always do my best to create a positive and nurturing environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and willing to help with daily routines, playtime, and homework. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children as if they were my own.
