Meet your Sitter
I personally work for you to find the best sitter match for your family. After the sitter is assigned you can meet her virtually and even chat online to ask questions or give details about your family.
Our goal is to make the entire process as seamless as possible for you and we handle the rest!
Activities and Fun
Your sitter will arrive at your home with activities and games prepared for your children's preferences and ages. We have seen how exciting it is when the professional sitter arrives on your doorstep with their bag full of activities.
When you book a regular event, talk to me about preschool and school aged activities that can be purchased on a monthly basis.

Member Testimonials
My daughter had a wondeful time with Shelby !! Shelby kept her busy the entire evening. I would welcome Shelby anytime !!! Thank you !!!!
I just want to take a moment to compliment Jessi on a fantastic day of babysitting. She was very interactive with my son and took great care of him and not only that, she cleaned up all of his toys, emptied the dishwasher, put dishes in the dishwasher and pulled the trash cans back up to the house. None of this was expected but was a very pleasant surprise and nice to come home to. She's great!!!
My kids really loved Jilian. She arrived on time, happy and ready to go. My family instantly took to her. They "reported" that she was fun and they'd love to have her back. She sat for us for 8 hours and I didn't once worry about the kids (although I did check in). I highly recommend Jilian to other parents.
Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Kelly was wonderful. She was early, professional, and the kids loved her. I will be requesting her again.
Maddie was a wonderful sitter to our 8 and 11 year olds. The kids loved her and she was great about engaging them in activities - swimming, games, arts and crafts, etc. We would definitely recommend Maddie, as well as request her again in the future.
Adeola was great with our two boys. She took good care of them and they both enjoyed her company very much. We would use her again without hesitation.
I wish I could recommend this babysitting service to everyone in Greater Austin with children! Seeking Sitters does thorough background checks on all of their babysitters, and the prices are more than reasonableparticularly to their "VIP's" (Very Important Parents). Parents who are in their VIP program receive discounts on local partner businesses and services, which is a bonus! The best part of all is that the kids love their hand-selected sitters, and they're the toughest critics. I highly recommend checking out http://seekingsitters.comyou'll never want another babysitter again!
Super Sitters! Consistent with rules and VERY popular with little ones! My boys have loved each one! They have been very frugal and respectful of our home, doing litle things like saving leftover milk in sippy cups in the fridge.
She was a great sitter! Our son Kyan was immediately comfortable with her presence and they took to playing with his toys and games as soon as I walked out the door. Received a phone call – with an apology for bothering me – asking an important question that I forgot to cover. When I came home from the evening my son quickly asked when they could do it again! My wife and my own fears we felt from the initial usage of the service and having someone unfamiliar watch my son were a thing of the past. Angela will definitely become a "regular" to care-taking our son in the future!
Laura did a wonderful job with our son. She kept him busy and happy. She kept track of many details about the sitting session which helped me with his feedings, naps, etc later after she left. We love her personality and felt like she is a good fit for our family.
Sarah was great! Our daughter had a great time with her. We hope we can use her every time.
Brittany sat for us yesterday and we are extremely pleased with her service and conduct. My autistic daughter bonded with her right away and my son also liked her a lot. She is very sweet and caring. She is calm and collected, and got engaged with the children without any efforts. We hope to see her more. Thanks.
Our experience with Brandi has been very positive. She is very calm and collected, very creative working with the kids. My kids like her a lot and that says more than my words. Brandi, please keep up the good work!
I'm still amazed that I called the SeekingSitters office at 6 pm on a Sunday, spoke with a LIVE person, signed up and had a sitter at 8:30 am the next morning in Austin. Knowing that I could travel half way across the US and find a safe, reliable service like SeekingSitters is awesome! Thank you, thank you!!!
SeekingSitters has been a fantastic addition to our family. The sitters bring awesome activities and they even clean up before they leave! Thanks SeekingSitters!
