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 Penelope, I have been interested in childcare since I was a kid myself, I would read to younger kids after school at Penny’s Place in middle school, and now I’m working at an elementary school in my area as a paid Para Professional. I love teaching kids and having fun while doing it, i’ve always been creative and willing to plan out things in my own time as well.
