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.

Deborah
Hi I’m Deborah but you can call me DeeDee. I am the proud mother of 3 adult daughters and 3 grandsons. After my grandsons were born, I found a renewed love of doing what I do best and somewhat reliving the best years of my life ~ being a mom. My super powers are 39+ year’s experience and a Bachelor of Arts degree in applied psychology. My preference is birth to 2.5 years old but I am available for birth through K. Serving people especially moms is my passion. ☺️

Hello, my name is Wendy Kelley. I enjoy working with kids, but don’t get to do it in my full-time job. So do you feel like extra time on the weekends. I’m looking to babysit. I have two grown children of my own and many nieces and nephews that I’ve helped raise. Most of all, I enjoy children. I’m looking to give you a night out or you and your husband a night away! I am available Friday evenings some Saturday evenings and most Sundays.

ariel
Hi! My name is Ariel, and I have 3 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve worked as a nanny for families with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, supporting everything from daily routines and meal preparation to developmental activities and creative play. During my time as a nanny, I focused on creating safe, nurturing, and stimulating environments tailored to each child’s age and interests. I also have formal training in early childhood education. I’m currently pursuing coursework to become a lead teacher, with the long-term goal of teaching kindergarten or art. In addition, I’ve completed certifications in CPR and First Aid for infants and children, as well as training in child development, positive behavior guidance, and supporting dual-language learners. I’m passionate about working with children and families, and I bring a mix of hands-on experience and formal education to help children grow, learn, and feel safe
