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.

Throughout my years of working in multiple childcare settings, I have consistently made it my priority to ensure that every child feels safe, comfortable, and valued. I strive to create a nurturing and welcoming environment where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically. Building strong relationships with families is just as important to me, and I make a conscious effort to communicate openly so parents feel confident and supported, knowing their children are in caring and capable hands. My experience working in daycare environments has allowed me to interact closely with children during some of their earliest and most formative years. I understand the responsibility that comes with being one of the first caregivers children encounter outside of their families, and I take that role seriously. Through patience, consistency, and compassion, I work to foster trust, encourage positive behavior, and support each child’s individual needs while always prioritizing safety and well being.

My name is Jordyn Brewington. I am 23 years old, and a graduate student in the college of design at NC state. I have experience in sitting as I started a babysitting company while in high school, which allowed me to learn lots about babysitting, and how I can best assist the child’s needs. I have personal means of transportation to get to and from, and am currently looking for full time worker if possible. Part time work is also suitable! I am reliable, flexible, and open to support your children’s needs!
