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.

patricia
I enjoy caring for and nurturing children. Reading, playing, teaching and keeping them safe. I was a Medical Assistant for over 30 years. I am reliable, have first aid training and clear background check.

Helen
I’ve been working with kids on and off for the past three years in a bunch of different roles: camp counselor, teaching assistant, and daycare worker. I’ve worked with both neurodivergent and neurotypical children, and I always do my best to make sure every kid feels safe, included, and has fun. I love playing games, doing creative activities, and just being silly when it’s time to be! I’m always ready to jump into whatever makes them smile—whether it’s a game, a craft, or an adventure in the backyard. *I am CPR certified

Carie
I am a full-time substitute teacher for PLSD for the last few years kindergarten through 12th grade, including disability. Classes seemed to like me because I do get lots of callbacks right away. I also do tutoring on the side. I have also worked for 10 years in Church nurseries starting at 1 year old. I have raised three kids one with a disability. Four years I was also a lifeguard so I have CPR and first aid knowledge. When it is nice out, I like to be outside. I am big on animals and I am also a dog sitter/walker. I’m a very on-time and scheduled person so if I say I’m gonna be at your house, I will be there ready to go!
