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.

Meriah
I am 30 years old, and I am an active-duty rescue swimmer in the US Navy, so I am CPR + First Aid certified. Before I joined the navy, I had a total of 8 years of experience as a Nanny and babysitter. Three of those years were for two children, girl (3) and boy with autism (5). Concurrently, five of the years I babysat for 2 young boys (aged 6mo-5yr &3-8). Additional years included babysitting for multiple families through word-of-mouth ages ranging from 4 months to 10 years old. Though I haven’t been paid as a nanny or babysitter in 7 years, I still help out friends in the military with their kids of all ages. I am very active, patient, and enjoy connecting with kids. I look forward to helping and supporting!

Hi! I’m Mylah, and caring for children has always been a passion of mine. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve spent years naturally stepping into a nurturing and responsible role, which led me to nannying, babysitting, teaching, and children’s ministry. My Christian faith is at the heart of how I care for others, and I strive to lead with kindness, patience, integrity, and compassion. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can grow and families feel at peace.

Emy
I'm a mother of 3 (all adults), Gigi of 1. I am a part-time caregiver of my disabled sister. I'm also a Realtor. I'm looking for another stream of revenue to supplement my income and desire to do something along the lines of what I'm passionate about. My passion is people, especially children. My expertise is families with special needs as I have an adult son on the spectrum and my sister whom I have cared for all my life. It takes special people to work with special people and God has given me that gift. I also treat everyone like my family.
