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.

Asia
I've always had a deep love for working with children, which has inspired my journey through nursing school with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I'm passionate about building hands on experience in pediatric care and supporting kids through compassionate, attentive healthcare. My previous babysitting experiences have solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives. With 2 years of experience caring for children I'm confident in providing thoughtful and engaging care for up to 2 children at a time. I'm born and raised in Florida and recently moved to the area due to spouse being in the navy. I'm now seeking a reliable and fulfilling opportunity where I can bring the experience I've gained while continuing to build my skills to better prepare for my aspirations as a nurse and child caregiving. I take joy and pride in everything I do and would be honored to be a part of your family's journey.

Cora
Hi ! My name is Cora and I’ve worked in childcare for more than 4 years. I’ve worked in a pediatric dental office for 3 years, a daycare for 2, and personal babysitter for a number of family members. I love kids and enjoy being in their company. I am to have my own soon! I love the outdoors, the beach, playtime and enjoy cooking. Little ones bring me joy and I’m lucky enough to have had people trust me and be the first choice for their babies. I’ve watched kids from newborn babies all the way up to 10 year olds.

Tatiana
Hi! My name is Tatiana, and I have years of experience caring for children through both family and community. As the oldest of four, I naturally took on the role of helping with my younger siblings, and I’ve also cared for many of my younger cousins and family friends’ children. I’ve looked after kids ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old, and I’ve often been the go-to person when adults needed someone they could trust to keep the little ones safe, happy, and engaged. I truly enjoy creating a fun but structured environment for kids and making sure they feel cared for while parents have peace of mind.

Tori

Zuri
Hello! My name is Zuri, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to high schoolers. I first began by helping my sister care for my nephew, and since then I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in many settings. I’ve volunteered and assisted in churches, interned at an elementary school, supported middle and high school classrooms, babysat for family friends, and provided consistent care as a full-time nanny for a variety of families.
