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.


Gabrielle
Caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. I grew up as the oldest of four, so nurturing and supporting little ones comes naturally to me. I’ve spent over five years working in youth development, served in my church’s kids ministry, and volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters throughout college—continuing my mentor relationship even after graduating. I love creating safe, fun, and meaningful experiences for children, and families can count on me to bring patience, responsibility, and joy to every interaction.

Maelle
I have babysat for a year and currently work in a child development center. At the child development center I help change them, feed them, play with them, help them fall asleep, and help them further develop. I have worked primarily with infants, but I have also worked with 1-5 years old. I help them with their physical and social development.

Afia
Hi! My name is Afia, and I truly enjoy caring for children and helping families feel supported. I love being a sitter because every day brings something new—whether it’s playing outside, helping with homework, or encouraging creativity through crafts and games. I have experience working with children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids, through babysitting, volunteering, and community service. Families can count on me to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their child’s needs. In addition, I bring strong communication and organizational skills, along with CPR/First Aid training to ensure safety at all times. I believe in creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn and grow.

Attention, care, and grace go into every interaction I have with a student. I love working with children and use a play-based learning approach. Focusing on social-emotional learning aspects is also vital in my teaching philosophy.
