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.

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.

Heyy there, my name is DeNjah Turner and I’m an energetic and creative 22 year old! I stared out in a kids hair salon about a 2 years ago , but fell into childcare 1 ago and love it so much! My favorite age group are toddlers, but I have experience with all ages. . I recently worked at stepping stone school as an infant and lead pre-k teacher. I’m CPR certified, and have taken online courses in child development.My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I love to cook , dance , play board games with my friends , and do hair. I love to Dance and travel! I look forward to meeting you!

I have over three years of hands-on experience working with children as a Registered Behavior Technician, supporting children with diverse developmental needs through patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. This role strengthened my ability to manage behaviors, encourage communication, and create safe, nurturing environments tailored to each child’s needs. Additionally, growing up in a large family has given me lifelong experience in caregiving, responsibility, and adaptability. Together, these experiences have shaped me into a compassionate, dependable, and attentive caregiver who understands the importance of consistency, empathy, and strong communication when working with children and families.

I enjoy planning engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and play while also maintaining structure and consistent daily routines. Clear communication with parents is very important to me, and I take pride in being reliable, responsible, and someone families can trust to care for their children with patience and positivity!

Arianna
Hi! I'm Arianna :) I have worked on 2 Air Force bases, specializing in childcare. I began my journey as a Substitute Teacher at Feltwell Elementary on RAF Feltwell in 2023. My family then departed from our duty station in 2025, and we landed in Enid, OK, as the next stop in our military travels. I then began working as a School-Age Youth Program Assistant at the Vance Air Force Base School-Age Center. Before my journey into official employment, I began volunteering at the Children's Church at Revolution Church at the age of 15! I moved to Austin on my own for school, where I am now pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Youth and Community Studies at UT Austin. Because I'm a full-time student, my availability may be a bit wonky, but can be further discussed. Caring for children is one of my passions, and I find it rewarding to foster their creativity in a safe, nurturing environment that allows them to explore the world around them. Additionally, I'm CPR certified and trained in Positive Guidance, Child Abuse Prevention, Identification & Reporting, and Respectful Accommodations for Kids with Disabilities.
