One parent even pointed out to Stephenson that her child’s emotional needs during a tumultuous time in their development superseded his learning needs. With SitterTree, parents can find teaching assistants who can help their children with their learning and address those emotional needs.

Pre-COVID-19, SitterTree had booked more than 40,000 jobs and was preparing to expand beyond Georgia. When the pandemic hit, SitterTree sitters stepped in and filled more than 1,000 jobs for Atlanta medical professionals at Piedmont Healthcare and Grady Memorial Hospital. As Georgia begins to reopen, they are poised to take on the massive child care needs of parents heading back to work this summer.

SitterTree is partnering with local businesses and congregations to provide gift cards to medical personnel the COVID-19 crisis.

SitterTree was started in a dorm room at Oglethorpe University (Traer 221), with a stack of notecards, an Excel chart, and a landline… you know, the phones you used to plug into walls… I was 19 years old and driving around with car seats four days a week. I loved it- and I was making great pay.
