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
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'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!!!
We were so pleased to have Kelly babysit for us for two nights in a row! She showed up early, had tons of toys in her bag to play with, and our daughter & her friends had a blast with her! She let us know what they did by using her Fun Time Sheet, and she also picked up the kitchen & toys so we didn't come to a mess! Thank you Kelly for being a great sitter! We can't wait for next time!
The best way to describe Madison is "sunshine"!!! She is so full of energy and very sweet with our son with autism. She managed him so well and kept him active and happy. She was a joy to have in our home!
My kids and i loved having nicole sit for us. she was fun, flexible and great w/ my two very high-energy kids.
My daughter had a wondeful time with Shelby !! Shelby kept her busy the entire evening. I would welcome Shelby anytime !!! Thank you !!!!
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.
Allyson is a talented, caring and fun childcare professional. She is skilled at time management and balancing her time and attention between children with various ages and needs. Allyson is creative, fun and nurturing and we always enjoy having her care for our children.
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!
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
Peggy took care of our kiddos for 2 days, and we all loved her very friendly, outgoing nature. She was very excited to engage the children in games and making arts and crafts - coming up with lots of indoor activities due to the extreme heat isn't an easy task, but she did great. We all loved having her in our home and we recommend her and will definitely request her again in the future.
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 :) :)
Natalee is great. Both of my children love her and talk about her all of the time. They can't wait until the next time she is going to be at our house. She made my husband and I very much at ease when we left the house.
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!
SeekingSitters has been a fantastic addition to our family. The sitters bring awesome activities and they even clean up before they leave! Thanks SeekingSitters!
