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.

Maritza
Hi! I’m Maritza, I love taking care of kids with Christ at the center. Showing kids kindness and God’s love in order for them to show it to others, is a big part of who I am as a worker. I work at multiple churches, and babysit for private families. I would love to work with your church or your family! I love what I do, and becoming someone who kids are comfortable with and have fun with! I am also a bilingual: Spanish and English speaker. I have experience in the following role(s): taking care of multiple kids at once, cooking, light house keeping, helping with homework, babies, toddlers, teens, etc.

Tiffany
Hello, my name is Tiffany. I am a mother to a wonderful 18yr old daughter and a 2yr old pup. I have over 5yrs experience working as an Early Intervention Specialist for an Early Childhood Intervention(ECI) program with children 0-3 with developmental delays, in a home visiting setting. I also have experience providing childcare services to children who have witnessed domestic violence in their homes. During the childcare groups I would provide fun activities, such as board games, arts and crafts, and field trips to local parks to children aged 0-18. I have also provided small group sessions to at-risk youth in several middle and high schools in the Austin, TX area with my previous employer, Council on at Risk Youth(CARY). My current occupation is a Program Supervisor for a home visiting program called Healthy Fair Start at Any Baby Can. The team I supervise uses a curriculum called Parents As Teachers which gives families the opportunity to build strong communities, thriving families and children that are healthy, safe and ready to learn. I have many years of babysitting experience for friends and family, and most of my career has been centered around children and families. I have a strong passion to work with children of all ages while providing great quality care when addressing the needs of the families that I serve.

Karen
Hi my name is Karen and I love working with children! I have been working with children for about 20yrs. I have worked in preschools as well as public schools and have always babysat on my own time. I am very experienced with early childhood education for example working with children on ABC’s (recognition and sound) also shapes and colors, problem solving, social and emotional skills. I love to teach through play and make learning fun and exciting. I love to laugh and tell jokes. To me, Children is like a fountain of joy. I can never get enough of their lovely innocent personalities and truthfulness. They are so vulnerable, yet so brave. They are energetic and optimistic. They have hope and the are sincere. They believe the best will happen. They are so authentic and show their emotions without fear. I look forward to meeting new families on the app.

I would be a great babysitter because I am energetic and love to do hands on activities with kids. I would be the one who would be playing the board games with your child as opposed to me setting them up with their own activity to do by themselves. I can also be excellent in regards to helping them with their homework. I'm caring, nurturing, responsible, and love to cook and bake!! I have been babysitting since I was in high school ages ranging from 6 months to 10 years old! I have also babysat for a special needs child who had Rett syndrome so I have experience in babysitting children who have special needs.

Andrea
Hey! I am Andrea from Austin, TX but have lived in L.A. and Germany as a nanny too! For many years I have cared for children of all ages in churches and in homes for many different families! My favorite part of working with babies and kids is seeing their individual personalities shine! I am very positive and caring and enjoy my caregiving career! I also work as a newborn care specialist and work in over night infant care! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Megan
Hi, I’m Megan. I’ve been a sitter since 2018. I started out volunteering in the nursery and with 2 - 5-year-olds at my church. The classes had about 10-15 kids in them. I’d monitor the kids during playtime, then we’d read a Bible story, make arts and crafts, have snacks, and wait for their parents to pick them up. Additionally, I tutored high school students in math for a year, so I’m more than happy to help your kiddos with their homework. Moreover, I’m good with pets, having cared for my cat for 9 years and my dog for 5 years. All in all, I enjoy making life easier for others. If you need help, let me know. I’ve got you.

Ashley
I began babysitting at the age of 15 and started my first job as an Early Head Start teacher in 2012. I have over 4 years of experience working as an infant and toddler teacher. I have worked with children from 2 months through age 12. During my 4+ years in the Early Education Field, I completed ongoing training and earned college credits in child development. I have continued to work with children at my church nursery for the past 4 years. I love working with children, caring for their individual needs, and having fun while navigating each stage of development. A few of my favorite activities for kids are creative play through building objects, arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor activities. Caring for children brings me so much joy, and it is a blessing to be able to help children and families.

In 2022 I found interest In Montessori so I started worked at Coppell Montessori until January of this year when I decided to move to Austin TX. I now work in dispatch and logistics but I sincerely miss working with kids so that's how I ended up here.
