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 have never had a bad experience with SeekingSitters. I can't imagine using anyone else!
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!
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 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!
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!
This service is so great! We are so pleased we found SeekingSitters!
Thank you so much for the fabulous sitter. It is so hard to find a reliable, safe sitter to pick our child up from school and your business really saved me from a bind. My daughter loves her sitter and calls Megan, "MY sitter!" - Cheryl
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 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.
We signed p last minute because we were in a bind and Julie did an amazing job getting us processed and finding our first sitter. I love that I can call anytime to get a sitter and that when we travel, using SeekingSitters is an option. Thank you!!
This service is a life saver! I have 4 kids and I promise you I couldn't do it without SeekingSitters!
Our experience with SeekingSitters has been outstanding! Every girl we have had has been perfect. We love that the college students have so much energy and are the perfect fit for our family.
We traveled to Lubbock for a baby shower and used a sitter at the hotel with our children. This was the best experience. The sitter was great and we look forward to returning!
Thank you so much for sending someone such last minute. My son had an amazing time!
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.
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.
SeekingSitters spring break camp was a huge help to me!!
We used SeekingSitters for our daughter's wedding and I have to say, it was the best decision I made. Knowing the the kids were in great hands and being able to focus on the things I needed to do made my job as mother of the bride much easier! Thank you so much!!!
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!
This was my first time with seekingsitters. I think seekingsitters is a wonderful service. From the time we left to the time we got back, Danielle was entertaining my girls. She came with a big bag of activities. My girls really enjoyed their time with Danielle. Very well organized from the food the kids ate, to the activities they did, to the times the youngest went to the potty. Will definitely use seekingsitters and Danielle 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.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful service to Lubbock. You can't imagine how much we appreciate you.
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.
Every sitter we have had in our home from SeekingSitters has been amazing! I wouldn't trust anyone else.
Awesome! Thank you!! Did I mention that I love this service?? I think I did! This is great for us!
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 :)
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 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!
