Founded by a nursery volunteer
After serving in her own church nursery for over 20 years, our founder saw how challenging it can be to coordinate volunteers and staff. So, she built SitterTree to make finding extra hands easy. Today, we help more than 1,400 children’s ministry leaders connect with reliable child care.
Over 1,496 churches choose SitterTree
SitterTree has been a lifesaver for Peachtree Church. Every week I am met with incredible sitters who are competent, capable and who really enjoy what they are doing.
Knowing that SitterTree works tirelessly to support us as a church has made all the difference. I could not be more thankful to have SitterTree as part of our church team.

Peachtree Church
I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.
