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.

Hello! My name is Nytia. I have a strong passion for working with children and bring over five years of experience as a lead toddler teacher. As the oldest of five siblings, caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I am currently working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and am now seeking part-time opportunities to offer additional support to families. With the holidays approaching, I understand things can become a bit hectic, and I’m happy to extend my care and services to those who may need an extra helping hand. I look forward to providing a safe, nurturing, and reliable environment for your little ones.

Amari
Hi, my name is Amari! I have hands-on childcare experience from a young age, helping care for my younger siblings. I am currently enrolled in my school’s tech program, where I am studying early childhood education and gaining direct experience working with children ages 2–5 in a preschool setting. I will graduate from the program with a certificate and have completed workplace readiness training. I also plan to attend college for early childhood education, with the goal of working as a preschool teacher. I believe that working as a babysitter will help me continue gaining valuable experience while providing attentive, safe, and nurturing care to children.
