It’s totally free to search caregivers and post jobs on SitterTree. When you’re ready to book your child care provider, you’ll pay a small service fee.

Q: Can paid church child care in Nashville work with my volunteers?

Absolutely, many churches on SitterTree use a combination of volunteers and paid child care to support their children’s ministry. You’ll find church child care providers that act as an extension of your team—helping with snack time, activities, clean-up and more.

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.
