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.

Astrid
Hello, My name is Astrid Alejandra Arias-Barrera, I am a photographer and mixed media artist, and I have always had a strong, natural connection with children. From a young age, I helped care for younger kids in my family and developed a very nurturing, motherly personality. I had to step away from work for a period of time, but I am now ready and excited to return to working with families and children. For the past four years, I have provided childcare on and off for family members, roommates, and friends. Through these experiences, I have learned how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am dependable, a quick learner, and very open-minded. I am also happy to help with cooking, cleaning and any other household tasks as needed. I am truly grateful for any opportunity to support a family and provide safe, loving care for their children.

I bring several years of hands on experience working with children in licensed pediatric settings, daycare facilities, in-home care, and church environments. Through these roles, I have developed strong skills in supporting daily routines, promoting positive behavior, and maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. My experience in daycare and pediatric settings has strengthened my ability to manage group care, follow health and safety protocols, and support developmental milestones, while my work in home and church environments has allowed me to provide individualized care, lead engaging activities, and foster strong, positive relationships. I am dedicated to supporting each child’s developmental, emotional, and social growth through attentive care and age-appropriate learning experiences. I take pride in creating a warm, engaging atmosphere where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to learn and thrive.
