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.

Teagan
My name is Teagan Crane, and I am a college student at Bridgewater College. I have had a decent amount of childcare experience. I have a younger sibling, and I've worked with both high school and elementary school aged children in school settings as well as an afterschool care. I was the sole minder of a Level 3 autistic child, around age 6-7 years old. I am adept at managing and assisting with regulating emotions when a child is overwhelmed. I have also had classroom experience as a student teacher, as well as a tutor for younger school grades. I have experience cooking and preparing snacks and meals, as well as a plethora of various activity and tutoring related skills.

Chloe
Hi, I'm Chloe! I’m a second-year student at University of Virginia originally from the Richmond, Virginia area, and I’ve spent the past two years babysitting for families with children ages 4 and up. I love working with kids and creating a fun, positive environment through outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. In addition to babysitting, I’ve volunteered as a tutor throughout high school and college, working with children of many different ages and learning styles. For the past two summers, I served as a camp counselor at Collegiate School Summer Quest, where I led camps for students from the lower school through middle school. I’m patient, empathetic, dependable, and energetic, and I truly enjoy helping kids feel comfortable, engaged, and supported.

Brooklyn
Hi! My name is Brooklyn, and I have a passion for working with children. I have experience as a teacher assistant in an early learning center, where I cared for children by supervising activities, helping with meals, encouraging learning, and creating a safe, positive environment. I also have babysitting experience and enjoy playing games, reading books, doing crafts, and keeping kids engaged. I am patient, dependable, responsible, and always strive to make children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently attending Mary Baldwin University online to earn my degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology, and I look forward to helping families by providing reliable, loving care for their children.

I am currently a nursing student with a strong interest in working with children. I have one year of experience as a swim instructor, where I worked closely with kids of various ages to create a safe, encouraging, and fun learning environment. Through this role, I developed strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I am a very positive, energetic, and fun person, and I genuinely enjoy helping children feel confident, supported, and excited to learn.
