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.

Jakob
Over the course of the past four years (going on five as of recently) I have pursued childcare as a career, with experience ranging from in-home babysitting to the private daycare center at which I am presently a teacher. (For those curious, I'm trying for the odd babysitting job to get some cash on the side, student loans and all) The majority of my experience has been with children aged one to three, though I have previously worked with infants as young as four months. Furthermore, I have recently graduated with a Master's degree in Early Intervention and Child Development, and I thus bring with me the education that program equipped me with, including but not limited to insights regarding the psychological, socio-emotional, and physiological development of children.

Khalyshia
Hello i'm Kay, I am a dedicated and nurturing childcare provider currently attending online college to earn my master's degree in pediatric psychology, so working with children is truly apart of my long-term goals. I have over three years of hands-on experience caring for children through babysitting, nannying, assisting in a daycare setting, and supporting kids during church activities. I am CPR and First Aid certified and hold a PCT/CNA/HHA license, which allows me to prioritize both safety and compassionate care. I consider myself to be patient, organized, attentive and reliable while also bringing creativity and positive energy into daily routines. I always create engaging and supportive environments where children feel safe, encouraged, and comfortable. Building trusting relationships with both children and families is something I value and always look forward to.

Amira
I have extensive hands-on experience working with infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers in a variety of settings, including churches, private families, babysitting, and schools. I am passionate about supporting children's growth, safety, and well-being.

Trinity
Hello! My name is Trinity Taylor! For around two years now, I’ve been experienced with taking care of children. I have neices and nephews ranging from a few months old to teenage years that I watch. I’ve also been a gymnastic coach for two years working with toddlers to teenagers. On Sundays, I usually work at the nursery at my church. Currently, I'm deeply engrossed in my marine biology studies at college. Alongside that, I work at a vet office and soon will be certified as a veterinarian technician. My hobbies include gymnastics, horseback riding, and practicing Jiu Jitsu. I would love the opportunity to help. Please consider me, and I hope you have a wonderful day! Thank you.

Hi! I’m Amber and I love caring for children of all ages, from infants to school age. From May 2022 to January 2023, I worked as a registered behavior technician supporting children on the autism spectrum.

From October 2024 through April 2025, I provided in-home childcare with Saving Grace Sitters and have continued working with children through Sitting Made Simple since 2024. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child.
