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.

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! My name is Cryena, and I’m a 26-year-old school counselor with a strong passion for supporting children and families. I hold a master’s degree and have over five years of hands-on experience as a nanny, caring for children of various ages. I truly enjoy creating safe, nurturing, and positive environments where children can grow and feel supported. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, hanging out with my dog, and being part of families’ daily routines. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with and supporting many families, and I take pride in building trusting, long-term relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to continuing to help families by providing dependable, compassionate, and attentive care.
