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.

Jessica
Hi, I'm Jess! I have over 10 years of experience supporting children and families through home visiting, case management, and child development programs. My experience spans infancy through high school-aged youth, giving me a strong understanding of children's developmental needs at every stage. I currently work in maternal and child health as a supervisor supporting families with young children. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, heard, and encouraged to be themselves. Whether we're playing, learning, exploring their interests, or simply following their routine, I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where children can thrive and parents can feel confident that their little ones are in caring, capable hands. I am trauma-informed, dependable, patient, and committed to building positive, meaningful connections with every family I work with. I understand that parenting takes a village, and I am happy to provide support when families need an extra set of hands. Whether you're looking for occasional evening care, a weekend date night, coverage during appointments or errands, or simply time to recharge, I aim to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind while ensuring children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
