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.

Hi! my name is Miriam Fahrenthold and I’ve spent more than 10 years working with children as a Spanish teacher for kids ages 4–12. I love engaging children through play, reading, and creative activities while making sure they feel safe and cared for.

I am a proud mom of two beautiful boys who are the loves of my life. Together we enjoy everything from running around the playground, messy play in the kitchen to reading books and doing puzzles. I like to get in a lot of physical activity with my boys so that we can enjoy low key interaction later on. I also have a niece and nephew who are ten years older than my oldest son whom I helped care for a great deal from time they were small children to a few years ago.
