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.

Judith
Hello! My name is Judith Park! I volunteered as an English and extracurricular activities teacher for 7 months at a private Christian School in Mexico. I worked with students from 1st to 8th grade. I also have various experiences taking care of children through the church, as a children's director working with kids ranging from 2 to 10 years old, and as a leader/teacher for church camp programs like Awana and Vacation Bible School since high school.

Ava
I have lots of experience caring for children between the ages of 1-12 years old. I love working around kids and being able to help families!

Acacia
My name is Acacia Hall, I am 19 years old. I grew up with incoming siblings since I was 5 years old, so I’m quite familiar with kids and babies. I am soon to have 12 siblings. I’ve always found kids easy to get along with and manage because of my family life growing up so this job will feel like home to me.
