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.

Beth
Hi there! I am a mom of 2 grown kiddos, 25 and 21. I have lived in Virginia Beach for most of my life. I have over 35 years of childcare experience including 6 full time summers, 4 years of teaching at a local day care, and years of working in my church nursery. In college, I majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Education. I have been trained in CPR for over 30 years and I was a certified CPR & 1st Aid Instructor for over 6 years. I have worked with multiples in the past as well as children with ADD/ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome. Also, my son has had asthma, allergies, mild ADD, and Tourette's Syndrome and has had respiratory problems since he was 6 weeks old so I am well versed in dealing with a variety of issues. I am available on weeknights after 4:30pm and weekends. I am open to occasional overnight care at your home. I am a Virginia Beach school employee so when school is closed, I am usually available as well.

My name is Gwendolyn Brown but I only go by Gi or Gigi. I am 26 years old and have been working with kids all my life. I worked in my church nursery and children's church at the age of 13 and currently I work at an autism center as an RBT. Also, I am in school getting my Doctorate for PT because in the future my hearts desire is to work with children as a pediatric physical therapist.
