Safety is always a priority.

Your children matter more than anything in the world. When it comes to booking child care, you want the best. The SitterTree app is here to help you find it- every time.

Pre-screening Call

Sitters are proud to share their child care experience, favorite activities, and enthusiasm for working with children. Each sitter completes a pre-screening call with a Specialist to review these profile details.

Background Checks

All sitters are required to clear national criminal, MVR, and sex offender background checks performed by Checkr before applying to any job. Some sitters complete additional background checks to qualify to work with preschools. 

Sitter Badges

Many sitters have certifications from trusted organizations like the Red Cross. Others are certified to work with children with special needs. Sitter badges make it easy to find a sitter to fit your unique needs.

Our family absolutely loves SitterTree.  No matter who we choose, sitters communicate, come prepared, are professional, and have a great work ethic and attitude. It is so incredibly easy to book, schedule, reschedule, read reviews, write reviews, and pay caregivers.

Our Roots

SitterTree started in a college dorm room.  Jody Stephenson, a sophomore at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia found babysitting was the perfect way to fund her best college life. 

In between classes (and sometimes during them) Jody picked up all the babysitting gigs she could. The flexible income allowed her to graduate with minimum college debt - plus a trip to Europe.

Jody started sharing jobs with other Oglethorpe students, charging a small fee for her services, payable through the campus mailbox system. Students loved the service - and opportunity for flexible child care jobs. By the time Jody graduated, 10% of the campus was babysitting.

Word spread about Oglethorpe's child care source.  Moms would leave a voicemail on Jody's dorm room landline with the details of their job. Jody would pass along the details to other students, who would pick up the jobs.

The Playgroup, as it was first known, was shared in mom groups around Atlanta as a "must have" for busy moms.

SitterTree continues to grow, but the vision remains the same: to provide an easy way to book and pay the best child care providers. Kids deserve nothing less.
