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 love SeekingSitters. It has led to a less stressful career on my part to know that I have backup when needed.
This service is a life saver! I have 4 kids and I promise you I couldn't do it without SeekingSitters!
Thank you so much for your service. Daisy has been one of our favorite sitters, but we have loved everyone you have sent!
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!
Our sitters have been so great! Thank you so much for always providing such great service!
We signed up for SeekingSitters after our church used the service at an event. The sitters were so professional and did an amazing job with our infant that I wanted to use her in our home. We signed up last minute and SeekingSitters worked quickly to get us the perfect sitter!
We had had the opportunity to use a few different sitters in our home and each time I am amazed at how professional they are. All the worries I had when I signed up have disappeared.
Awesome! Thank you!! Did I mention that I love this service?? I think I did! This is great for us!
I just wanted you to know how impressed I have been with seeking sitters. All of the young ladies have been exceptional! Being new to Lubbock, you have been an exceptional find.
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 :)
Every sitter we have had in our home has been perfect! We don't even bother requesting a specific sitter because we know that the team at SeekingSitters is the best around! Thank you!
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.
I wanted to just send my thanks to you all. Sometimes I get busy and forget to appreciate folks that have done so much to help support us and our kids. The time your service provides me and my husband with is the only time we spend as a couple without children, and it has been instrumental in our relationship this past few years. Your sitters are always wonderful and I hope that my kids are good for them..
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!
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.
We are so pleased with the service. Every sitter we have had has been amazing. I love that they bring additional activities to our house so that my kids have more options. Thank you!!!
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!
We have had such great success with all the sitters we have had in our home because of SeekingSitters. I recommend it to my friends all the time.
We are so excited about this site! Our personal babysitter had to cancel at the last minute due to an illness, so we requested a sitter from SeekingSitters and within 5 minutes Miss Kaitlyn picked up the job and called to confirm. We had hesitations about how our daughter would react to a stranger, but she actually woke up from her nap and stood up and went right to Kaitlyn! Our daughter felt comfortable in an instant! Kaitlyn was great with her and kept up with us on how our daughter was doing throughout the night! Our next date night we will be requesting Kaitlyn, she was so polite and our daughter loved her. Thank you!
Julie is fantastic! She always matches our family with the perfect sitter and I have never had a complaint about any sitter that comes into our home. The service is amazing!
SeekingSitters spring break camp was a huge help to me!!
Being a single Dad and new to SeekingSitters, I had no idea what to expect, when I decided to use the service for an extended out-of-town assignment. Not knowing any of the sitters, we decided to take a chance with Megan M, and I could not have been happier! Megan was delightful, personable, and responsible. She very cheerfully took on the task of shepherding my four challenging children, with tremendous patience and poise. I am very happy to have found SeekingSitters, and to have met Megan. My children loved her, and she is a great asset to SeekingSitters. Thanks to Megan and Julie for making our event a great success.
We have no family in the Lubbock area so when we discovered SeekingSitters we were overjoyed. This is such a lifesaver. The fact that I can book a qualified sitter for my kids without being worried about their safety is amazing! It's so simple and so safe.
Sara was fabulous with both my kids. I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old. She called ahead to see what the kids liked to do and brought crafts for my son. They even did a gingerbread house together. It says something about a sitter when my son woke in the morning and was sad Sara wasn't there. We loved her!
My friends are always asking me "How do you have time to take evening classes and do all the extra things you do to take care of yourself?" My answer "SeekingSitters". I seriously don't know what I would do without you! Thank you!
Ann is absolutely wonderful! The kids loved her and I felt great about leaving the baby. When we got home all 3 were fast asleep. We will definitely have her back. The kids still talk about her.
Thank you so much for sending someone such last minute. My son had an amazing time!
To be honest we were very hesitant using a service like this because, as a mom, I wanted to be sure I knew who my kids were playing with. After using the service 2 times now I can say that I would recommend SeekingSitters to EVERYONE! Love, Love, Love it!
I have really liked every sitter that we have had. I get nervous with a new sitter since our baby is so little. However, we have had all great girls. I am thankful for all that you guys do.
I am so happy this type of service exists in Lubbock. I have been very pleased with all the sitters.
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!
We had a huge group event last week and used 8 sitters from SeekingSitters. Every sitter was so professional and it was so great to see familiar faces. There was some miscommunication on the location and the sitters each contacted me and were so understanding and flexible. I really appreciate the amazing job they do every time.
We have always had such great experiences. Every time a sitter has come, it has been fantastic!
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!
