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 had so many great sitters even able to manage our daughter's diabetes. We appreciate the attention SeekingSitters has given our family
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!!
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!
Every sitter we have had in our home from SeekingSitters has been amazing! I wouldn't trust anyone else.
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!
SeekingSitters spring break camp was a huge help to me!!
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.
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!
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!
I am so happy this type of service exists in Lubbock. I have been very pleased with all the sitters.
Our sitters have been so great! Thank you so much for always providing such great service!
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!
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!!!
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!
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.
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 :)
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 love SeekingSitters. It has led to a less stressful career on my part to know that I have backup when needed.
We have always had such great experiences. Every time a sitter has come, it has been fantastic!
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 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!
Awesome! Thank you!! Did I mention that I love this service?? I think I did! This is great for us!
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 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 have never been more happy than with SeekingSitters. Thank you for offering such a great service in Lubbock!
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.
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 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.
This service is so great! We are so pleased we found SeekingSitters!
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
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!
