SitterTree Resources: Insights on Babysitting and Childcare

Kirk Stafford – father of two – and Brittany, his wife, have been using the SitterTree app for the past 7 months.

“SitterTree has given my wife and I the opportunity to go to last-minute concerts, Braves games, or date nights without having to plan weeks in advance, all while feeling 100% comfortable and secure with each sitter we meet.”

As restrictions lift, nothing goes better with a night out than a trusted sitter. With two kids, a dog, and a growing business, Kirk doesn’t have time to text multiple neighbors to find a sitter.

He and Brittany wanted the fastest, easiest path to cut loose at concerts, where they were recently spotted at Chastain- Bon Iver, breweries, or bonding and relaxing in the backyard of fellow SitterTree members (shameless plug), Chris and Emily LeCraw!.

This Dad goes to SitterTree for child care to keep the good times rolling. Thank you Kirk for being our June Featured Father!

 

We asked Kirk four quick questions:

::

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SITTERTREE FEATURE?

::

WHAT MAKES YOU TRUST SITTERTREE FOR YOUR BABYSITTING NEEDS?

When the world shut down in 2020, it brought concerts to a screeching multi-years-long stop. And I was heartbroken.

In December 2019, I purchased a pair of tickets to take my mom to see Reba McEntire – a bucket list item for both of us – for a summer concert in 2020. It got postponed several times until we started to believe it would never happen. But it did! My mom and I finally got to hear Reba sing “Fancy” with a few thousand other folks in Atlanta in January 2022, and it was everything we dreamed it would be. 

All this to say – concerts are back, and they are headed your way! 

There are a ton of summer concerts near you. The heartbreak this summer will be narrowing down which ones to attend! 

Peruse this list to have a better idea about the upcoming summer concerts near you so you can plan accordingly for tickets, travel, and child care. 

 

Check Out These Amazing Summer Concerts Near You

 

With artists trying to recoup their lost ticket sales due to COVID cancellations, there are a ton of concerts to choose from, with Atlanta and Charlotte both being tour stops for several major recording artists. 

After being in your homes and babysitting your kiddos, we know that our parents’ music taste is varied. Some of parents still listen to music from their high school days (Bye Bye Bye) while others are all about new country. Some like to dance to something pop-y while cleaning the house and others like to relax with a glass of wine while listening to something mellow. 

As a result, we’ve compiled a list of the must-see summer concerts near you representing a variety of music, budgets, and venue types. 

Note – Several of these recording artists will be touring in Atlanta and Charlotte, so you can travel to another tour stop if you can’t make it to the summer concert near you.

Don’t Forget About Free Summer Concerts

 

If you live in Atlanta or Charlotte, you are lucky enough to have free summer concerts near you. Each of these cities offers several different free summer concert series. While they may not feature artists as famous as Lady Gaga, they do provide a great evening of live music – perfect for a girls’ night out or a budget-friendly date night.

In addition to regular free music concerts in Atlanta-area neighborhoods, the 2022 Atlanta Jazz Festival will take place May 28-30, 2022 in Piedmont Park. It is one of the largest FREE jazz festivals in the country.

Atlanta Summer Camps for Elementary Students

Summer is right around the corner, which means it’s time to find ways to keep your kids occupied for several weeks in a row. I discovered the joys of summer camps in Atlanta for elementary students after my son’s first summer break. That summer was a hot mess. My son thrives with a routine and in the classroom-and our summer looked more like chaos. 

The following year, summer camps saved the day-and my sanity! My son got to try new activities and spend time enjoying hobbies he already loved, and I got a break from mom-managing. 

The good news is there are countless summer camps in Atlanta for elementary students. Since it’d be impossible to list them all, we’re highlighting some of our favorite options for kids 5-10 years old. Below you can find a list of options for different interests, areas of town, and budgets.

 

Fine Arts Camps in Atlanta for Elementary Students

Fine arts camps include everything from art to dance to music to theatre. There are several excellent fine arts camps for elementary-aged students. Here are some popular options.

• Atlanta Ballet Centre: Offers a summer day program at multiple locations for elementary-aged children. They offer a variety of classes depending on age and different lengths (once a week, daily for three weeks, etc.).
• Forefront Arts Camp: Offers a variety of drama, dance, music, steam, film, and princess camps at locations throughout Metro Atlanta for elementary-aged kids.
• Creative Play Camp at Alliance Theatre: Alliance Theatre offers several different camps based on age and class type. They offer creative dramatics, musical theatre, and acting basics for kids in grades K-5.

 

Outdoor Exploration Camps in Atlanta for Elementary Students

If you don’t want your kid to be stuck indoors staring at screens and becoming a couch potato this summer, consider one of these outdoor exploration camps. These camps include opportunities for kids to get up close and personal with nature and wildlife.

• Zoo Atlanta: Zoo Atlanta’s Safari Camp: Summer Session offers full-day camps for kids 5 – 14 years old. They also offer scholarships. 
• Blue Heron Nature Preserve: Offers summer camps for kids 4 – 12 years old. The camp allows kids to discover the outdoors through sensory exploration and play.

STEM Camps in Atlanta for Elementary Students

Do your kids love STEM (science, tech, engineering, and math) activities? Are you looking for a way to get your kids to use their brains this summer? Check out these STEM-themed camps.

• Club SciKidz: Offers a variety of different STEM-themed camps, such as Minecraft, chemistry, and robot engineering, for elementary-aged kids at several locations in the Metro Atlanta area. 
• SUMMER P.E.A.K.S: CEISMC Summer P.E.A.K.S. (Programs for Enrichment and Accelerated Knowledge in STEAM) are one-week-long experiences designed to increase Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) knowledge through various educational activities. Summer P.E.A.K.S. gives students the chance to enhance learning in experiential activities on campus at Georgia Tech during the summer.

VBS in Atlanta for Elementary Students

In addition to summer camps, several Atlanta-area churches offer Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs for elementary-aged kids. These church-based programs are open to the public and allow parents to drop kiddos off for an engaging Bible lesson and fun activities. 

Please note: there are so many excellent churches in Atlanta, it is impossible to list them all! So, we are only including churches SitterTree partners with that offer free-to-the-public VBS programs this summer.

How to Prepare for a New Babysitter

Wondering how to prepare for a new babysitter? You’ve come to the right place.

Whether it is your first time leaving your kids or something you’ve done a hundred times, it can feel overwhelming to welcome a new babysitter into your home and your children’s lives.

It feels hard, but it doesn’t have to be. 

Knowing how to prepare for a new babysitter will make it so much easier to leave your children home with someone new. 

The secret is giving your new babysitter all the information needed upfront. The key here is the word “all.”

Don’t make the mistake of assuming your new babysitter will simply know what to do or what not to do. 

No two families are alike. For example, assume your sitter may babysit for another family with very different needs. If your sitter is good, s/he is probably in high demand with a number of different families with varying needs and preferences.

For example, you may have strict rules about screen time, while another family may feel comfortable letting their kids play video games the whole time they are out. 

How to prepare for a new babysitter comes down to leaving plenty of details about your home and your children, as well as discussing what is expected with the sitter before you leave the house.

 

When you’re ready to book a new sitter, post your first job free using code TREEHOUSE1FREE.

Preparing the Babysitter Info Sheet

How to prepare for a new babysitter starts with the basics. Use the SitterTree Babysitter Info to fill out the following information.

• Contact Information

• Important Phone Numbers

• Allergies and Medications

• House Rules

• Bedtime Routine

• Mealtime Do’s and Don’ts

• Wi-Fi Info

You may want to add additional information, such as where to find first aid and emergency supplies. 

Save this document on your computer so you can update it as needed. 

It will always be ready when you have a new babysitter. 

 

Do a Walkthrough

Just like every family is different, every home is different. That’s why it is vital to do a quick walkthrough of your home with your new babysitter. 

Point out all the rooms and bathrooms, as well as which rooms are off-limits. Show your sitter the pantry and what snacks are available to the kids (and the sitter).

Make sure your sitter knows where the fire extinguisher and other emergency items, such as flashlights, are located.

And don’t forget to make sure your new babysitter knows where to find the first aid supplies. 

 

Discuss Relevant Details for Today’s Child Care Needs 

Before each new outing, make sure you provide your babysitter with the relevant details, including:

• Where you are going,
• When to expect you home, and
• How to reach you if needed.

Keep in mind, your sitter may have plans after your job. Ask your sitter if s/he has a hard stop at the scheduled end time. This will make your sitter feel respected – and eliminate unnecessary frustration for everyone.

It is also wise to tell your sitter your communication expectations, such as “Please send me a chat me when the kids are in bed” or “I will be at a theater show and won’t be able to take calls until intermission.” 

 

Go Over Sitter Rules

In addition to providing your new babysitter with the rules of your home, you also need to cover the rules you have for your sitter. 

Sitter rules may include:

• No friends over while watching your children.
• No sleeping on the job.
• No taking/posting pictures of your kids on social media.
• No leaving the kids unattended.
• No talking on the phone, going online, or watching TV until the kids are in bed.

The goal is to set clear expectations.

 

Babysitters and Clean Up

It’s important to have realistic expectations for clean up. 

You don’t want to come home to a house that is a much bigger mess than when you left it, but you also shouldn’t expect to come home to a house that looks like it has been professionally cleaned.

SitterTree sitters are responsible for cleaning up after all activities with your child(ren). However, they are not responsible for additional house-cleaning unrelated to activities they do with your children.

With that being said, it is wise to provide a bit of instruction, such as whether you want dishes placed in the sink or the dishwasher. 

 

Why Preparing a New Babysitter is Essential 

It can be easy to think your new babysitter provider doesn’t need all this information, but you’d be wrong.

It is always better to provide too much information than too little!

You don’t want your date interrupted by your sitter calling to ask you the types of things you could have already covered.

If you spend time today learning how to prepare for a new babysitter, you don’t have to scramble to put things together if your usual sitter can’t make it and you have to book someone last minute.

Most importantly, as much as we’d like to believe there will never be an emergency, there may be. You’ll feel much better knowing your sitter knows what to do in an emergency. 

Get started preparing with the SitterTree Babysitter Info. Fill out this form once and save it for future updates as needed.

 

Feel Confident Booking a New Babysitter Through SitterTree

The first step on how to prepare for a new babysitter is to start by finding a babysitter via SitterTree.

When you hire a babysitter or child care professional through SitterTree, you can rest assured that your child(ren) will be in safe, professional hands. 

There’s a reason why SitterTree babysitters have earned 98% 5-star ratings after nearly 70,000 jobs. You can trust ratings from other moms.

 

SitterTree requires all sitters to complete rigorous safety checks before even viewing available jobs. All sitters must clear a profile reviews, virtual sitter verification, and extensive background checks, including nationwide criminal, sex offender, and motor vehicle checks. Some sitters also opt to earn badges for advanced verification; such as, COVID Vaccination, CPR Certification, and Fingerprinting.

These aren’t run-of-the-mill sitters – these are top-of-the-line quality child care professionals.

SitterTree has been a trusted source of reliable child care for 1000s of Atlanta families.  Families love SitterTree because of sitters like our April Featured Sitter, Maggie.

Maggie joined SitterTree in Atlanta before heading back to school in North Carolina. She is our first bi-state sitter, earning 5-star reviews across state lines. 

A Wake Forest University junior, Maggie plans to babysit her way through undergrad and then grad school with the goal of earning her Master’s Degree in Public Policy!

According to Maggie: “I hope that in five years, I will be living my life with joy and doing work that makes a positive impact on the world.” 

Maggie, you are already making a positive impact. We are grateful to have you as part of the SitterTree community. 

Maggie responded to a few quick questions about SitterTree:

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SITTERTREE FEATURE?

So hard to choose- but I love the flexibility SitterTree provides its Sitters.

WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE SITTERTREE FAMILY?

So many! I loved working with the Wilkerson family, the Dickhaus family, and the Christie family. 

WHAT MAKES THEM YOUR FAVORITE?

I have a huge soft spot for babies! At one of my jobs, I got to watch baby K take his first steps! Also, all three of these families are so kind and communicative. I felt so welcome, safe & comfortable! 

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A SITTER JUST STARTING OUT WITH SITTERTREE?

Be polite, professional and playful. Making a good impression on every member of the family (even the pets!) goes a long way.

The Benton family, Johnson family, Stafford family, Sapra family, Paquette family, and the Roach family. 

 

WHAT MAKES THEM YOUR FAVORITE?

Their kids are all SO wonderful. All the parents always make me feel welcome. Plus, they all pay very well 🙂 

 

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A SITTER JUST STARTING OUT WITH SITTERTREE?

Give it your all – make sure when you commit to a job, you are excited and eager when you show up. Engage and enjoy your time with the kids, and go the extra mile (clean up after dinner, pick up the playroom, etc.). Enjoy the family’s and love on the kiddos!

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to take advantage of an Atlanta babysitting service. 

Date nights require babysitters, and trustworthy, child-loving, responsible sitters aren’t always easy to come by.

At least they weren’t before SitterTree came on the scene!

SitterTree, a leading Atlanta babysitting service, makes it easy to find exceptional childcare – even for the busiest date nights of the year!

Here are some ideas for how to make this Valentine’s Day extra special with the help of SitterTree.

 

Celebrate the Weekend Before

In 2022, Valentine’s Day falls on a Monday, which means you have the entire weekend before to go on a date with your Valentine.

This is especially easy for those living in or near Atlanta because there are endless romantic options in the city.

Here are just a few of the examples of happening in Atlanta Valentine’s Day weekend:

• Valentine Sunset Igloos at The Roof at Ponce City Market

• Uncorked Atlanta Wine Festival

• Cupid’s Undie Run

If one of these special holiday-themed dates doesn’t work for you, you can always take advantage of the many restaurants offering Valentine’s Day pre-fixe menus all weekend long. 

 

Make Plans Now for Valentine’s Day

Did you know Valentine’s Day is the most popular holiday to book a babysitter? It’s true! 

According to DoorDash, “Compared to an average day, reservation requests climb by 500% on February 14, making it the second busiest day of the year for restaurants (just behind Mother’s Day).”

That means if you are traditional and want to celebrate on February 14th, book a sitter sooner rather than later.

Not only will you be competing against other parents trying to find childcare for this super busy night, but your go-to sitter may have Valentine’s Day plans herself. 

 

Skip the Date and Give Mom Some Alone Time

While date nights are the traditional go-to for Valentine’s Day, they may not be the right choice for you.

For example, Zulily polled moms to see what they wanted for Valentine’s Day. They found “Over half (55%) of moms surveyed admit they’ve spent far too much time with their partner [due to the pandemic] and are looking for a little bit of a break and time for themselves. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the gift of “me-time” tops the charts of what moms want this Feb. 14.”

Instead of going the traditional dining out route, consider using an Atlanta babysitting service, so your spouse can enjoy some time away from all the people she loves (and needs a break from).

 

RSVP for Galentine’s Day

Galentine’s Day is a holiday to celebrate the love of girlfriends traditionally celebrated on February 13th.

Galentine’s Day is a great time to book a sitter so moms can get together with their gal pals – especially moms without romantic partners.

Celebrate Leslie Knope (Parks and Rec character who originated the holiday) style at brunch with all the ladies you love.

 

Why You Should Use SitterTree: A Premiere Atlanta Babysitting Service This Valentine’s Day

SitterTree is an Atlanta babysitting service app that makes it easy for you to find and book safe, quality childcare. 

SitterTree finds and screens sitters, unlike other Atlanta childcare sites, so you don’t have to! 

This screening includes rigorous background checks and virtual verification. Our sitters have earned over 98% 5-star ratings after more than 60,000 jobs!

Now that you know our sitters are exceptional, here’s how it works:

• You post a Valentine’s Day date and set your own hourly rate. 
• SitterTree will post your Valentine’s Day job to our community of verified sitters.
• Then, we’ll send you a curated list of experienced and vetted sitters who are available and interested in your job. 
• Next, you review the recommended candidates and select the sitter that is right for your family.
• Last but not least, you communicate and pay your sitter directly through the app.

Booking the sitter is the easy part! Now go start planning the ultimate Valentine’s Day date.

SitterTree serves some of the smartest, strongest, women in the WORLD! Whether it’s working from home or in the office, from super mom to office boss, moms roll up their sleeves every day and keep us all heading in the right direction!

This month, we’re highlighting woman/mom/entrepreneur/boss, Emily Ferrara. Emily is a new mom as well as Founder of Simplify Life Counseling and Coaching located in Atlanta. Her practice serves children, teens, and adults struggling with home-life, anxiety, depression, and/or other areas in life. Along with offering couple and family counseling services. 

Our sitters are always grateful for the opportunity to meet a Mom-preneuer. Even more, Emily’s favorite sitters share they always feel welcome and comfortable in the Ferrara home. (Pause for snaps) For these reasons and many more, we are thrilled to announce the Ferrara family, as our February Featured Family! 

“The Ferrara family was great! Emily and Michael were so kind and welcoming. I would love to come back!” – Alexandria B. 

 

We asked mom, Emily, four quick questions: 

 

WHAT TYPE OF JOB ARE YOU PRIMARILY, CURRENTLY BOOKING SITTERS FOR? 

Date nights, weekday errands or events, and overnight.

::

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SITTERTREE FEATURE?

Sitter quality, ease of booking, reliability, and favorite sitters!

::

WHAT MAKES YOU TRUST SITTERTREE FOR YOUR BABYSITTING NEEDS?

I know that the sitters are vetted and go through a serious verification process prior to being able to sit for families. I also love that there is a way to read how the sitters have done with other families in the past through their reviews.

:: 

DOES YOUR FAMILY HAVE A FAVORITE SITTER? 

We love Alexandra! She was our first ever sitter and we were so delighted by the work she did with our daughter. She was fantastic with our little girl and put all of us at ease!

—

We are incredibly grateful your family has chosen to be a part of the SitterTree community!

Safety is, without a doubt, the #1 concern for any parent when it comes to childcare. Moms need the confidence that they are leaving their precious little ones in good, safe hands. At SitterTree, we feel the same. We have a safety-first, safety always policy when vetting any sitter. We’re looking for the best of the best, most qualified sitters.

When it comes to the best of the best, our January Featured Sitter is just that. We are thrilled to announce our first featured sitter of the year: Briana C. 

Briana recently graduated from Mercer University College of Nursing. She now works in the oncology unit at Emory University Hospital. Her future plans are to become a nurse practitioner. 

Briana, we appreciate your generous and genuine care for SitterTree families. You are a tremendous value to our community.  We wish you continued success in your endeavors.

 

Briana answered a few quick questions about SitterTree:

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SITTERTREE FEATURE?

Definitely convenience!

 

WHO’S YOUR MOST FAVORITE SITTERTREE FAMILY?

So far probably the Wright family!

 

WHAT MAKES THEM YOUR FAVORITE?

The kids were so much fun, and the family made me feel appreciated and welcome.

 

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A SITTER JUST STARTING OUT WITH SITTERTREE?

Always leave early because Atlanta traffic is no joke!!
