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.

Anna
Hi, I’m Anna! I’m currently a Pre-Med Allied Health student and plan to graduate in May 2026. I have extensive childcare experience, both during the school year and over the summer. During the school year, I’ve helped one main family by getting children ready for school, putting them on the bus, picking them up, supervising after school until parents return home, providing transportation to daycare, and driving them to practices and activities. In the summer, I’ve enjoyed taking kids swimming, bringing them to lessons (including golf), and planning fun, active days. In addition to babysitting, I’ve been a gymnastics coach for over four years, working with children ages 3-14. Through that role, I’ve gained experience in not only keeping kids active and engaged but also teaching discipline, patience, and confidence in a supportive environment.
