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.

My experience on babysitting is taking care of my 2 younger cousins, when they were at the age of 4 years old until the age they are now which is 8 and 10 years old. I would get them up, make breakfast, hangout with them, put them to bed. Sometimes watch them overnight or just for the morning.

I'm seeking to fulfill that void in a childcare position.
