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
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.
We will be requesting Querube again in the future! She was great! It can't is not easy to keep 3 Ten year olds for as many hours as she did and the kids ask "when is she coming back?". We thought she was absolutely wonderful as a sitter! ...
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
My kids and i loved having nicole sit for us. she was fun, flexible and great w/ my two very high-energy kids.
A BIG Thank you to Catt for taking such wonderful care of our children. They had a fantastic time playing games and creating adorable crafts today. It was wonderful to spend time away from home knowing someone dependable was watching our children. She went above and beyond...thank you :) :)
This was our first time using SeekingSitters, we were assigned Madison. My daughter LOVED her !!! She hasn't stopped begging me to have Madison come sit with her, again !! They had a blast hanging out, playing Kinects and girl talking !! They even went out for a late night snack !! Thanks a million, Madison !!!!!!!
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.
Meghan was great. Will definitely request her again in the future. Thanks, Quinn
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.
Lola did a great job! Tyler enjoyed his time with Lola....they had fun playing games. She was prompt, took great care of Tyler, and left our house tidy.
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.
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!
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!
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.
SeekingSitters has been a fantastic addition to our family. The sitters bring awesome activities and they even clean up before they leave! Thanks SeekingSitters!
