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.

My favorite age group are toddlers, but I have experience with all ages. . I recently worked at stepping stone school as an infant and lead pre-k teacher. I’m CPR certified, and have taken online courses in child development.My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I love to cook , dance , play board games with my friends , and do hair. I love to Dance and travel! I look forward to meeting you!

I have over three years of hands-on experience working with children as a Registered Behavior Technician, supporting children with diverse developmental needs through patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. This role strengthened my ability to manage behaviors, encourage communication, and create safe, nurturing environments tailored to each child’s needs. Additionally, growing up in a large family has given me lifelong experience in caregiving, responsibility, and adaptability. Together, these experiences have shaped me into a compassionate, dependable, and attentive caregiver who understands the importance of consistency, empathy, and strong communication when working with children and families.
