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 have taken care of little ones for a long time. I worked at a daycare in Fair Fax Iowa four years. I Love watching little ones grow into smart loving caring individuals.

Matt
Hello, my name is Matt. I have been an EMT for 22 years and counting, as well as have been babysitting since I was 10 years old. The children I have babysat ranged in ages of 6 weeks to 10 years old. I also currently work at a daycare as an infants and toddlers teacher. I specialize working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I gained my love for working with children from my mom, who was a NYC special ed teacher for 40 years.

Kayreana
My name is Kay-re-ana (ona), I’m someone who truly cares about the well-being and growth of others. I’ve always had a nurturing personality and a strong sense of responsibility, which naturally led me to working in childcare. I started babysitting for family friends when I was around 15 and 16 years old, caring for children of different ages, including a child with special needs. That experience taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to create a safe and supportive environment for every child’s unique needs. Later, I worked at a daycare where I cared for children ages 4–5. My responsibilities included preparing snacks, helping with nap time, organizing play activities, and reading stories. I focused on building trust with the children so they felt safe, comfortable, and supported while their parents were away. I understand how important it is for kids to feel seen, heard, and valued, and I always aim to create a positive and engaging space for them.
