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 so appreciate Julie and the service she provides. This service make my life stress free because of how efficient and dependable they have been.
So great! When I got home my 2 year old was trying hard to tell me all the fun things they did and was dancing around "like a bird and an airplane". Stephanie figured out her favorite cartoon and made puppets out of paper bags that looked just like "Max and Ruby" Really Great, will for sure ask for her again!
I'm loving this whole online babysitting ordering kinda thing...its as easy as ordering a pizza! I appreciate you working with us!
l love SeekingSitters. What a wonderful concept it is but what a disaster it could be if it was not run with the level of excellence and professionalism that our Lubbock SeekingSitters has consistently maintained.
We recently moved to San Antonio from Lubbock and the most disappointing thing is that there is no one here to call when we need a great babysitter. We miss SeekingSitters in Lubbock!
The babysitters we have had in our home are so professional and really understand the needs of children. We never get calls from frustrated sitters and we appreciate that they are so flexible.
My 4 year old asked her grandmother if she wanted to "be a real sitter." She told her Mamma that "real sitters" bring a bag of toys with them!
Saw the assignment for this weekend - thanks so much! You guys have changed my life for the better! We used SeekingSitters in San Diego last month while vacationing - it worked great.
We have had so many great sitters even able to manage our daughter's diabetes. We appreciate the attention SeekingSitters has given our family
I have found the BEST sitter through SeekingSitters. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We don't have a consistent need for sitters but when we do, I am glad I can call SeekingSitters and I don't have to worry about who is with my kids while I am gone. It's great!
Kristen did a fabulous job for us! She helped the kids make Mother's Day cards for us, and played with Play Doh, too! Also, the house was spotless when we got home...she even cleaned up from dinner and put away the dishes! (Definite plus for me!) All the kids have asked when she will be coming back...we hope soon!
I have never had a bad experience with SeekingSitters. I can't imagine using anyone else!
Ann was terrific. Our two boys thought she was one of the best sitters we have hired.
We are so pleased with the service and look forward to each sitter we have. We couldn't be happier!
This whole website and system is amazing! I can't believe the responses are so efficient and quick. I am in awe. Thank you so much :)
Kyla was great! My children had a lot of fun with her and are now asking when they can go visit Kyla! This was our first experience with someone we didn't already know and it went off without a hitch! She was on time, professional and yet full of activities and energy compatible with playing with a 3 and 5 year old. We would definitely ask for Kyla again.
Awesome! Thank you!! Did I mention that I love this service?? I think I did! This is great for us!
Thank you so much for sending someone such last minute. My son had an amazing time!
I love that I can count on SeekingSitters not just for date nights, but also while I am working or have errands. We have no family here so I would literally get nothing done if it weren't for this service!
Yas was a supersitter. Somehow she managed to play, draw pictures, bathe children, put children down for naps while baking cookies!!!!! Wow!!! What a trooper too, the baby spit up all over her and she still had a smile on her face! I was very impressed...
The kids beg for a sitter from SeekingSitters and are always so excited when I tell them that we have one coming. Always an awesome experience!
My in-laws live in town so we haven't used SeekingSitters as much as we first anticipated but every time we do, it is the best experience. The sitters are all so great!
I can't tell you how many times SeekingSitters has saved my sanity! With my husband working out of town for months at a time, I am so thankful to have someone to call when I need a break! I recommend SeekingSitters to everyone I meet!
I was very nervous to leave my toddler with a sitter and Marissa was perfect! She made me feel comfortable and knew just what I needed, and my son loved her!
