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.

Janice
Hi! My name is Janice, and I am a responsible, compassionate, trustworthy, and energetic caregiver currently studying Biology Pre-Med at Hampton University with aspirations of becoming a pediatric dentist. I have always had a passion for working with children and creating positive environments where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. My experience with children began in high school and has continued through volunteering at my church, where I assist with children’s church, arts and crafts, holiday parties, and Vacation Bible School activities. Through these experiences, I have learned the importance of patience, communication, creativity, and leadership when caring for kids of all ages. I love helping children learn, grow, and gain confidence while making sure they are having fun in a safe and caring environment. I enjoy creating engaging activities, encouraging creativity, and being someone children can feel comfortable around. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and positive while providing quality care for their children. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends, watching television, and exploring new opportunities for personal and professional growth. One thing to know about me is that I am always open to learning new things and bringing positive energy wherever I go. I am looking for a babysitting opportunity with a welcoming family and a flexible, positive environment where I can continue doing what I love caring for and supporting children.
