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.

I am college student with much experience as the eldest sister and cousin. I have had many other side jobs caring and watching over littles from hours to nights. I’ve watched babies and kids from 3months old all the way into the preteens and have never had a problem doing fun and activities while mixing some education in it. I take pride and joy in being a safe/comforting person specially to such little fragile and growing humans, and seeing the world through their eyes, I believe in structure of course but also highly believe in being heard and attending to individual needs.
