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.

Sanaa
My name is Sanaa Lawrence and caring for children truly brings me joy. I’m a Psychology major at Hunter College and a Registered Behavior Technician with over five years of experience working with children from newborns to 11 years old. My background has made me patient, attentive, and skilled in supporting children’s growth through positive reinforcement and structured guidance. I’m nurturing, dependable, and playful, and I love engaging kids through games, reading, and outdoor activities while maintaining a safe, structured environment. I’m BLS certified and happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal prep, and swimming supervision.
