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.


Savannah
Hi! I’m Savannah, a recent nursing graduate with babysitting experience. Additionally, I have worked as a soccer coach for ages 3-15 and extensively with children’s with disabilities. I currently work as a clinical assistant at Boston Children’s Hospital, where I care for 17 patients, newborns to adults, with acute and complex needs. I am passionate about accessibility, communication, and child development!

Joyce
Hi, my name is Joyce Kimani. I am a responsible and energetic person with experience working with children of various ages. After eighth grade, I worked as a camp counselor where I supervised and supported children in activities while helping create a fun and safe environment. During my junior year of high school, I also worked with children and babies in swim instruction, helping them feel comfortable in the water while teaching basic swimming and safety skills. These experiences helped me build strong communication, leadership, and caregiving skills, and I enjoy creating positive experiences for children and families.

Elena
Hi! My name is Elena, and I have over eight years of babysitting experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. I am responsible, patient, and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, preparing simple meals, or keeping up with busy schedules, I strive to be a dependable and positive presence for both children and parents. I am currently a student at Boston College and spend my summers in Austin. I look forward to meeting your family!

I am dental assistant at a pediatric dental clinic and I’m meet new kids everyday. No matter what age. I am a caring, patient, and adaptable professional with a natural ability to connect with children and create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I bring strong organizational skills, clear communication, and a positive attitude to every interaction, helping children feel encouraged and understood.

Rachel
Hi! I’m Rachel. I grew up as the middle child with an older brother and a younger brother, so taking care of kids has pretty much been part of my life from the start. I spent a lot of time helping with my little brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle the unexpected. I also have a dog at home, so I’m super comfortable around pets and love having them around while I’m babysitting. Last summer, I worked as a camp counselor at a drowning-prevention camp in Uganda, where I helped kids ages 4–12. It was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had, and it really strengthened my ability to work with different personalities and energy levels. I currently tutor a few middle schoolers in science over Zoom and have experience teaching a student with ADHD, so I’m familiar with supporting different learning needs. I also help my friends’ younger siblings with homework pretty often. Overall, I love being around kids, staying engaged with them, and creating a fun and safe environment. I’d be excited to get to know your family!

Kostoula
Hi my name is Kostoula Dalavouras. I have hands-on experience in early childhood education, where I focus on supporting and nurturing the developmental needs of young children. In addition to my professional background, I also have personal experience caring for my neighbors kids and my 1-year-old godson and my nephews, who are 1.5 and 2 years old. This has given me a deep understanding of the different stages of development and the needs of children at various ages. I enjoy babysitting on weekends and weekday nights, creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where kids can thrive. Whether through play, learning, or offering comfort, I love seeing children grow and develop in a positive, supportive atmosphere.
