Unlike open marketplaces where anyone can make a profile, every SeekingSitters caregiver is screened by a real, licensed private investigator. Records checks, identity verification, references, and a face-to-face interview — every time.

Adrienne Kallweit — Founder & licensed private investigator

Our story

Founded by a private-investigator mom

In 2004, Adrienne Kallweit — a licensed private investigator — and her husband David struggled to find childcare they could truly trust. As a P.I., Adrienne knew how little stood between a family and a stranger on most sitter sites.

So they built something different: an agency that screens every caregiver the way an investigator would. Twenty years later, that same conviction still drives everything we do.

Care families count on

“Our family has been working with Pam Wing and her SeekingSitters team for over 2 years. With two small children and two parents working full time, both with travel schedules, childcare is extremely important. SeekingSitters always goes above and beyond to help with our babysitting needs. Their flexibility and ability to find great care givers even at short notice is second to none. I would recommend them every time. We don't know what we would do without them! ”

Jessica B., Hermosa Beach, CA

“Sabrina was so great with my kids. They can't wait for her to come back! She was professional and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my kids with her. Thank you!”

Amber T, Lubbock, Texas

“Wow! This review is long overdue. I love this service! I have been using SeekingSitters for my 3 daughters for the last 5 years and they have never disappointed. The system is so convenient for finding last minute sitters and planning in advance. They do all the work for you to make sure that you are provided with a fun, safe, and experienced sitter. They are time savers ( and sanity savers too)! My girls are usually very excited when they hear they are getting a babysitter:)) The sitters are very engaged and play great with my girls. If the kids are happy, mom is happy. I was grateful to find this service 5 years ago and will continue to remain a loyal customer in the years to come!”
