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.

Victoria
Hi, I'm Victoria! I am a former early childhood education professional, and have been babysitting, nannying, and working in daycares/preschools for over 15 years. I have experience with all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I am especially experienced working with newborns, infants, and toddlers. I love outdoor walks, board games, art projects, and cooking/baking!

Sarah
Hi! My name is Sarah 😊 I am a graduate from Kennesaw State University with 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience of children ages ranging from 3 months to 16 years old. Aside from babysitting, I have childcare experience in a preschool classroom setting, coaching gymnastics, and camp counseling. I love to stay active and spend time outside, and also enjoy doing crafts and being creative! I currently work as a clinical medical assistant and I am advanced cardiac life support certified (ACLS).

Arlene
Hello, I am Arlene and I am a dedicated and nurturing childcare provider with years of experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary-aged children. I currently work with elementary students in the county school district, where I support children’s academic and social development in a structured learning environment. My background also includes extensive hands-on experience caring for younger children in both home and childcare settings. I am passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and supportive atmosphere where children can thrive. With a calm demeanor, strong communication skills, and a heart for children, I bring reliability, warmth, and professionalism to every family I serve. I strive to provide a combination of educational, developmental and fun creative activities for children.

Chelsea
I have 13 years of paid experience working with children whose ages ranged from 4-weeks to 13 years of age. For the families I have worked with, I mostly did pick-up and drop-offs at camp and other appointments, trips to the park for outdoor activities, went to local museums, played educational games in preparation for the following school year, prepared light dinner, and assisted with bath and bedtime routines. My favorite activities to participate in with children include: reading, educational games, singing and dancing, arts & crafts, improvisation, and generally being silly! I love to bring a sitter bag packed full of activities-books, craft supplies, puzzles, play dough, and so much more! I enjoy babysitting because I love working with children and I am happy to assist parents who must run errands or attend social engagements. Babysitting has enhanced my communication skills as I have learned ways to engage most effectively with children of all ages and varying interests; and it has taught me how to be patient, creative, and open to activities that children suggest.

Chanelle
I'm able to relate to the kids in a manner that portrays me as a fun, trustworthy person but also to be treated with respect. This give us a balanced relationship so that they feel comfortable enough with me but also views me as an authority figure. Luckily, this allows the parents to enjoy their time while they're away from their little bits of joy and can trust that the kids are having a blast themselves. If we're not putting together a masterpiece during arts and crafts, then we're probably tiring ourselves out playing a game we (really them) have created. Ultimately, I want the parents to feel confident about their choice in their sitter, me!

A loving person who enjoys the energy of kids. Very responsible with kids and treat them as my own. I am a fun and energetic person who also enjoy things like arts & crafts and outdoor activities. I enjoy making kids smile through my humorous attitude. I have had the opportunity to work with kids for 10+ years of my life where I helped teach music and mission work and taught a Sunday school class for all ages.

Some of my favorite activities to do with children are reading, arts & crafts, dance parties, and sing-alongs. I can’t wait to keep your children happy, entertained, and safe!
