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.

Barbara
I’ve worked with babies and preschoolers for 28 years as a pediatric physical therapist through the Missouri First Steps program, and worked 2 years as a P.T. with KCMO school district. I retired from physical therapy in 2024, and my husband and I enjoy periodic travel. I’ve been teaching the elementary class at church on Wednesday nights for 2-1/2 years, where we incorporate skits and costume fun. I began doing morning storytimes at preschools 2 years ago, and recently turned it into a non-profit corporation called, “Barbara’s Stories.” I love & enjoy all children, including my own 5 grandchildren! And, of course, I love to see children involved in physical activity, creativity… and books!

Elizabeth
Hi! I'm Lizzy, I have experience caring for young children through volunteering with kindergarten-age kids at Vacation Bible School, babysitting my two younger cousins (ages 7 and 10), and babysitting my daughter's 8 year old girl. I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a safe environment for them to play, relax, or thrive in.

Hayet
I have approximately 3 years of hands-on childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks old through 5 years old. I have worked as a Lead Teacher in daycare settings, including the Baby Room, Toddler 1, Toddler 2, Preschool, and Pre-K classrooms. For the past two years, I have worked at Stepping Above Academy, primarily as a Lead Teacher in the Baby Room, caring for infants starting at 6 weeks old and providing daily routines, sensory activities, developmental support, and a safe and nurturing environment. I have also gained experience working with the other age groups through Pre-K. I also worked for 4 months as a Lead Teacher in Toddler 1 at Kiddee College, where I planned activities and supported language, motor, and social development. I do not have a specific favorite age because I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and young children. I also have personal hands-on experience supporting my 6-year-old son, who has autism. This has given me valuable experience with communication, routines, behavior support, patience, and adapting activities to a child’s individual needs. I have completed multiple early childhood education trainings and have pediatric CPR and First Aid certification. Foundations for Safe and Healthy Early Care Facilities Module completed on 7/11/2024 Family Engagement in Early Care and Education completed on 8/29/2024 Building Skills in Two Languages completed on 9/26/2024 Managing Transitions In the Early Childhood Setting completed on 11/12/2024

Hezekiah
Hi, my name is Hezekiah Kirkwood. I have several years of hands-on experience working with children in both daycare and before- and after-school settings. I previously worked as a childcare worker at Creative World in Belton and as a before- and after-school teacher with LINC in Kansas City, where I supported children of different age groups throughout the day. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve graduated and received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Science with an emphasis in Nutrition and Food Science, which has strengthened my understanding of child wellness and development. Overall, I bring patience, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with children.
