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.

I love children and have dedicated my life to nurturing and educating them. I'm a mother of four, a grandmother, and a retired teacher with 20 years of elementary school experience. I am kind, patient, efficient, energetic, and responsible. Non-drinker. Non-smoker. Flexible hours.

Kathleen
I have extensive childcare experience from both my professional background and personal life. I hold a degree in Elementary Education and have spent many years caring for children. When I was younger, I worked in daycare settings and as a nanny, where I supported children’s daily routines, learning, and development. In addition to my professional experience, I raised four children of my own, which gave me invaluable hands-on knowledge of child development, patience, and nurturing care. I am comfortable with children of different ages and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and grow.
