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
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!
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.
Sarah was great! Our daughter had a great time with her. We hope we can use her every time.
My daughter had a wondeful time with Shelby !! Shelby kept her busy the entire evening. I would welcome Shelby anytime !!! Thank you !!!!
We used Kristin for the first time today and our two children who have never been left with anyone but family loved her. Our 3 year old son can't stop talking about her and wants her to come back soon. She made my husband and I feel at ease as soon as we met her. She jumped right in and started interacting with our children as soon as she was in the house. This was a great experience for us and we definitely will use seeking sitters and Kristin in the future.
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 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!
Angela immediately conneted with my 21-month old upon first meeting her, and asked all the right questions. We were very happy with her and will plan to use her again! -Cathy
