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.

Kylee
Hi! I’m Kylee and I am a third year student at The Ohio State University studying Environmental Science with a minor in Education. I have over 4 years of experience working in a kindergarten classroom as a teaching assistant, where I supported children in both learning and daily routines and helped create a structured, positive environment. I also have experience working with children and families through hands-on education programs, where I helped lead activities and engage kids in meaningful, interactive learning. These experiences have helped me become patient, adaptable, and confident working with a variety of ages and needs. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping with homework, and I always try to make activities both fun and enriching. I am reliable, organized, and comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I would love the opportunity to support your family! ☺️
