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 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.
We just finished our first week with Seeking Sitters and I can't even begin to tell you how happy we are with your servicewhat a GODSEND! The sitters were fabulous and extremely sweet. My daughter loves them! It's great to come home and know exactly what they did each day and what/when she ate. I love that they also come prepared with activities-you've really thought of it all! What a stress relief to know we are guaranteed to have a sitter each week. Our only regret is that we didn't find Seeking Sitters sooner
Meghan was great. Will definitely request her again in the future. Thanks, Quinn
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!!!
Raquel did an awesome job with our kids, ages 2 and 1. She brought art supplies for the kids and they loved them. Our kids had fun with her and we highly recommend her the next time you need a sitter.
Nikki was wonderful! She was prompt, extremely friendly, easy going, and was a natural fit for us. Our 2 children adored her and said she was a lot of fun and they were also very comfortable with her. The three of them played board games and had a relaxing Friday evening while my husband and I were out. We will definitely request Nikki again in the future, and recommend her to others as well. Thanks again Nikki!
Sarah was great! Our daughter had a great time with her. We hope we can use her every time.
Ariell watched our son with autism, and they immediately clicked. I was most impressed by Ariell because I had to leave in a hurried state, spewing out quick directives to her. She was so calm and warm, leaving me to feel at ease having her in charge. Our son had a blast with her and he was very well cared for, even with his special needs. She really had a way with him, which is of great comfort to any parent!
We recently started using Seeking Sitters and couldn't be happier. Allison is such a sweetheart. My children adored her. She played oodles of board games with my 5 year old twins, read books to them and introduced them to silly puddy. They can't wait to have Allison over again.
Courtney is a sweetheart. My two little ones have not stop talking about her. They can not wait for her to come back and play again. Thank you Seeking Sitters for supplying such wonderful and caring sitters.
I am just wanting to let you know that Querube did an absolutely fabulous job with my boy. Jonas took to her straight away and said that he had lots of fun. When I need a sitter again, we would love for Querube to come over and watch Jonas. Thank you for your help and have a great day!
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.
Brandi has sat for our 2 small children many times and she has been wonderful! She has great energy with the kids and her experience shows. She is always on time, if not early, and she is very creative. She is an absolute asset to SeekingSitters and a very well rounded caregiver! Our 3 year old always asks when Brandi is coming to play again.
We saw right away that Misty had a great background knowledge with children. She was calm and easy with our son and he felt immediately comfortable with her. We could count on her to understand our sons special needs, and Misty took care of everything with ease. I would highly recommend Misty.
My kids and i loved having nicole sit for us. she was fun, flexible and great w/ my two very high-energy kids.
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.
Brandi was an excellent babysitter to our 2 children. She was prompt, friendly and enthusiastic. She helped our son study for a science test and spent quality time playing games with our younger daughter. It made our (very rare) date night even more relaxing and fun knowing she was there with our kiddos. We definitely recommend her, and will also request her again in the future.
Brandi is really great! She was on time, came with very little notice, and wasn't flustered that we were 10 minutes late getting home. The kids enjoyed her and she got right down on the floor and was playing with them when we left. She got them to bed actually EARLY which was awesome because they were getting over colds and had school the next day. We'll request her again!
My daughter had a wondeful time with Shelby !! Shelby kept her busy the entire evening. I would welcome Shelby anytime !!! 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!
