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
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!
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!
We have used SeekingSitters twice and the service is amazing. It's so easy and both the sitters we had were better than we could have ever expected!
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!
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!
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!
I love SeekingSitters. It has led to a less stressful career on my part to know that I have backup when needed.
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.
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!
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.
This service is so great! We are so pleased we found SeekingSitters!
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.
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...
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!
Last weekend we had another sitter and when we got home I told my husband "Man, she was wonderful". His response was "we always say that!". It's true! SeekingSitters is the perfect solution to finding a sitter when you don't have a lot of babysitter options or are tired of your babysitting having other plans. We love this service!
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!!
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 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.
This is absolutely the best service around. Our sitters are amazing and we have never been happier!
This service is a life saver! I have 4 kids and I promise you I couldn't do it without SeekingSitters!
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.
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.
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!
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..
I have found the BEST sitter through SeekingSitters. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
When my son was diagnosed with autism, I was overwhelmed. I needed "mommy" time and wasn't sure I could find a sitter that would be qualified to meet his needs. SeekingSitters saved the day! Every sitter has been amazing and I am relieved to know we have someone to call anytime!
Our family is very pleased with SeekingSitters. Our kids look forward to the times we go out because they enjoy playing with the sitters so much!
SeekingSitters has been great! When I have my grand kids and can't be with them, I love that someone safe and fun is there to take care of them.
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!
Ann was terrific. Our two boys thought she was one of the best sitters we have hired.
We have never been more happy than with SeekingSitters. Thank you for offering such a great service in Lubbock!
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!
