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.

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.
