We’re a women-owned and operated app committed to helping parents, preschools, and religious organizations find child care when they need it most. What started as a babysitter’s club in Atlanta has grown into a trusted network across the nation. But what hasn’t changed are the neighborly values SitterTree was founded on—because we believe truly great child care is rooted in community.

Nishi
I've always enjoyed being around kids and have had quite a bit experience caring for them. In highschool, I took an Early Childhood Education class where I got hands on-experience working with preschoolers. I've also babysat my younger brother and cousins, so I'm comfortable keeping your kids entertained, helping with routines, and making sure they're safe and having a good time. I'm also BLS certified and have my Nursing Assistant Certification, so I'm trained in saftey and know how to stay calm and handle different situations. I'm a responsible, patient, and caring person, and I'd love the opportunity to help out.
