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.

Hi I'm Jane and I love how kids see the world! I have 2 years of experience in watching a 10 month old and a 3 year old. I would love to help and watch your child grow in these fundamental learning years.

Delina
My name is Delina Abraha, and I have two years of experience working with children from transitional kindergarten through high school in both home and school settings. I am currently pursuing a degree in Nursing, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and compassion—qualities I bring into my childcare work. I am passionate about creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children can learn and grow. Families can count on me to be reliable, nurturing, and dedicated to their child’s well-being, while also encouraging creativity, learning, and positive development.
