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.

Mia
Hi, I’m Mia, and I love kids! I’ve been interacting with them on a daily basis for the past 4 years (and counting) through my work place at a Christian Private School, (with grades Pre-K through 1st) as well as through my church’s community group babysitting gigs. I’m excited to help serve my local community through the caring of children.

Alison
Hi, I’m Alison. I have worked as a babysitter/nanny for over 10 years. Experienced in working with toddlers and school aged children. I have experience as a travel nanny. I have my CPR/First Aid certification for infants, children and adults. I am a very patient person and I love to laugh, but most importantly I am honest and understand the importance of caring for children. When I am not nannying I’m usually spending time with family and friends, or relaxing watching Netflix or YouTube.

Sahar
I have more than five years of experience working with children of different ages. I love spending time with them, helping them grow, and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment. I enjoy teaching through play, reading stories, and doing creative activities that support learning and social skills. I am responsible, patient, and very organized. Working with children makes me happy and gives me purpose every day. I always try to communicate with parents clearly and respectfully. My goal is to make every child feel valued, loved, and confident in everything they do.

Hello, I am a 53 year old mother to 3 adults aged 23, 21 and 18. My middle child has autism so I have experience working with special needs children. I work at a Church Nursery on Sunday mornings and I also teach after school lego classes at local elementary schools. I love working with children and getting my baby fix in.

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.
