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
We have never been more happy than with SeekingSitters. Thank you for offering such a great service in Lubbock!
I love SeekingSitters. It has led to a less stressful career on my part to know that I have backup when needed.
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!
Awesome! Thank you!! Did I mention that I love this service?? I think I did! This is great for us!
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.
Every sitter we have had in our home from SeekingSitters has been amazing! I wouldn't trust anyone else.
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 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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
This is absolutely the best service around. Our sitters are amazing and we have never been happier!
I am so happy this type of service exists in Lubbock. I have been very pleased with all the sitters.
This service is so great! We are so pleased we found SeekingSitters!
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!
Thank you so much for sending someone such last minute. My son had an amazing time!
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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...
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!
I appreciate SeekingSitters so much. I was in a real bind and you saved my neck with a wonderful sitter for my grandchildren. I will definitely use your services again. - Lynn
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!
