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.

Hello! I have recently started a coaching business and work mainly from home. I have served and worked in churches for the past 20 + years. I love working with children and have no troubles with the fussy babies and happy to sing the same song on repeat if needed. I would be honored to meet new people and continue to serve in the local churches. Below you will find a brief history of my experience with children of all ages. I taught Middle School Math for 3 years. Substitute teacher for a year. Coached middle school volleyball, boys basketball and track for 4 years. I have raised 2 boys, homeschooled and taught and helped in a homeschool co-op - Classical Conversations. I worked as nursery director and in the 2&3's room for multiple years. Helped with nursery and littles for Awana and VBS. Moved to Children's Ministry Assistant then onto Children's Director - This spanned for 12 years. I am the 5th of 8 children with 17 nieces and nephews as well as 16 great-nieces and great nephews. I moved to Executive Coordinator at Hill Country Bible Church until May 2025 - for 7 years.

Ruth
I am a mother of two girls and two grand kids. I had the privilege to take care of all of them. I also took care of my friends children and I worked in two daycares in the past about (20 years ago) I was a home room parent in my daughter elementary school and also I worked several times as a babysitter with differents families. I recently was taking care of my grand baby now 5 when I was available from my everyday job ( Insurance agent)that I quit last year because I went to visit my daughter and grand daughter in Spain. I decided to have a break as an insurance agente and get a job with less hours but at the same time, a job that I can help others and It makes me feel joy and have fun. What a better opportunity than help parents with their kids, ensuring a safe, fun and caring environment for their children and I assures you, I am a reliable, trustworthy and energetic person that can help while you are not around with the safety and care of your babies.
