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
Meghan is a great addition to Seeking Sitters! She is a very pleasant, loving, caring, gentle, fun and polite person. My son had a wonderful time with her- she played with him nonstop, read books to him and is very carfeful with him. From the time she came in our door, he had a big smile on his face!
She is very attentive to details and followed all our instructions.
We are so happy that Meghan is now a part of Seeking Sitters- she fits perfectly to the great service it provides.
Everything went very well Lori. Thank you. Our sitter, Krista Z. was there early, she brought a bunch or her own toys and games and was very professional. The kids took a very quick liking to her. I would definitely use your services again.
Caitlin is always wonderful when she sits for my girls! The last job started with a tantrum and throw up by my 15 month old and Caitlin was very calm and took it all in stride. I felt very comfortable leaving my girls in her care. Also at the end of the same job, Caitlin was very understanding when I was running late, due to the weather, and she had to stay an extra 15 minutes beyond our scheduled end time. She is a wonderful sitter!
Dear Lori, My husband and I would like to express our gratitude to you and your staff. We have been so happy from the very beginning with the loving and caring ways provided to our son by his babysitters. Our son has the biggest smile on his face every time his babysitter comes in the door. Each babysitter who has been assigned to our family has been wonderful. And we can’t thank you enough for being so accommodating with all our requests and needs like making sure we have a set of consistent sitters. Seeking sitters is like a second family to us in a way that we feel secure about the care of our child and we know that we can rely on you. We can’t forget the time you have worked hard in finding someone to care for our son on a very short notice. We are so appreciative of that and we hope you know how much that helped us since we are in a bind that time. You have really made things very easy for us. We also would like to commend the excellent job our son’s babysitters have done. They are very professional, courteous, loving, gentle and enthusiastic. They keep him engaged with activities- reading to him, playing with his toys and going for nice walks. It’s not very easy to find a group of people we can trust with our son and we are so thankful we found one in Seeking Sitters. We count this as one of the many blessings in our lives- to have the comfort in knowing that our son is in good hands. Sincerely, Sarah and Eric E.

Katie is such an asset to the Seeking Sitters team. We had her come on a Friday night before Christmas so that we could finish up our shopping. She was so great with our children. The report she left us was something that you would have expected from a pre-k teacher in a school setting. They did some arts and crafts, read stories, and had a wonderful time. Getting a written report of the night's events is important to us as parents, and not something that you would normally receive with the neighborhood teenager!! Thank you Katie! |
Caitlin has been sitting for our family on a routine basis for several weeks and we can't say enough about her. Our chlidren love her (as soon as she gets here they can't want for mom and dad to leave and they are always sad when it is time for her to go). We feel incredibly comfortable with her and feel fortunate to have such a kind and reliable person sitting for us each week.
Caitlin is very creative and introduces really great ideas and games to our children each week. They are stimulated and learning new things every time she is here to sit. She really is a lot more than a sitter....
We have a 6 year old son on the Autism spectrum and Caitlin was quick to understand his quirks and needs, which gives us a huge sense of relief and of comfort. We really can't say enough good things about her.
Thanks to you, Lori, for introducing Caitlin to our family.
