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 Worna Dejardin. I’ve been working with Rochester school-age children through SACC since December 2024. I’m dependable, patient, and caring, and I really enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children can learn, have fun, and feel supported.

Hi, I’m Melanie! I love working with kids and really enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I have experience working in a special education summer school program, which I really enjoyed and found very rewarding. I also have experience babysitting for family, friends, and coworkers. Additionally, I volunteered with AWANAS at my local church for multiple years, where I had the opportunity to work with and be involved with kids on a regular basis. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with children, and I’m excited to continue gaining experience through Sitter Tree!

Tabatha
Hi! I’m a mother of eight and a registered nurse at Mayo Clinic, where I work in acute psychiatry. Being a mom and working in healthcare have given me extensive experience caring for, supporting, and connecting with children of all ages. I’m outgoing, energetic, dependable, and love creating a fun and welcoming environment. I would be excited to get more involved at church, serve where I’m needed, and use my experience and passion for helping others to make a positive difference in our church community.
