Thank you for the opportunity to help your family with your babysitting needs.

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.

Adrienne Kallweit, Owner, SeekingSitters Franchise System Inc

LICENSED PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR MOM'S BABYSITTING BUSINESS FRANCHISE

Adrienne Kallweit, President and Owner of SeekingSitters Franchise System, Inc., is a native of Tulsa and graduate of the University of Oklahoma. Adrienne's degree in Construction Management brought her back to Tulsa where she started her career in the construction industry and later purchased her family's private investigation agency, Hide and Seek. After starting her family and running a successful investigation agency, she realized the need for on-call background screened childcare for her own family and recognized this need on a nationwide level as well.

In 2004 she and her husband, David Kallweit, developed the concept of SeekingSitters implementing the stringent background screening process that Hide and Seek had developed from over 30 years of investigative experience. Working mother, business owner, and licensed private investigator, Adrienne utilized her business expertise to create a company concept that is being successfully implemented in franchise locations across the country.

SeekingSitters Franchise Systems, Inc. is a new, fast-growing franchise that has found a unique solution to an age old problem: finding a good babysitter when you need one. SeekingSitters uses modern day technology of an interactive website to help families find safe, reliable child care 24-7. The founder is a mom of three who saw a problem, found a solution and turned it into a multi-million dollar company.

"Private Eye Mom" Adrienne Kallweit founded SeekingSitters in 2004 after struggling with her own child care needs. She was running her Private Investigation Firm and wanted to hire her son's preschool teacher. She ran the teacher's background investigation and was shocked at what she found: a variety of charges that raised questions about the teacher's character. Yet, the teacher was still working at a public school. That's when Adrienne started "seeking out her own sitters" that passed her stringent background checks and could work around her unpredictable schedule.

She saw a greater need - not just in her hometown - but nationwide. On family trips to Denver, Colorado and Austin, Texas they faced the same dilemma: they couldn't find a good sitter they could trust. So on a 7 hour drive from Austin back to Tulsa, she and her husband wrote their business plan and launched their website that night. SeekingSitters was born.

Since their first babysitting job in 2004, SeekingSitters has grown to over 2500 babysitting jobs monthly with 53 franchise locations in 23 different states. Adrienne and David are committed to making sure that childcare is offered in a safe and reliable method in all 50 states. They have built the business without debt, funding their business as they grew.

SeekingSitters won Tulsa's First Entrepreneurial Spirit Award in 2007. And in 2008, Working Mother Magazine named SeekingSitters one of the Top 25 Women-Owned Businesses in the United States. Adrienne has been interviewed extensively both locally and nationally. She was recently featured on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch on CNBC and has been interviewed on the Fox, CBS, ABC and NBC stations in Tulsa as well as in the Tulsa World, Journal Record of Oklahoma and the Tulsa Business Journal. In 2008, Adrienne and David were both chosen for the Tulsa Business Journal's 40 under 40 list.

What DC Metro - Fairfax/Manassas families say

We have had a wonderful experience with your service. We are truly very grateful!!! Both our children have been extremely happy with Sasha's care. She is amazing with children!!
— Eva, Fairfax

Cathy was awesome! From the first minutes that she met our almost-4 year old, she and he were laughing and playing. She was completely responsible, prompt, and safe. She has good common sense and I had absolutely no problem leaving our son with her. Nate looked forward to seeing her each night that we used her, and since we came home he has asked for her repeatedly. I wish she lived in NYC!
— Lori, NYC

Our every experience with Yvonndra has been great. Both my boys absolutely love her! They had a fun time and felt very comfortable with her in their very first time. She always has fun activities and knows how to keep the kids entertained and happy. She keeps every detail in mind, and it's just nice to have her watch your kids. My boys actually ask to see her, and I sometimes feel like I have to arrange an evening for my husband and myself to get away so the kids can have their evening with Ms. Ashley (Yvonndra)!
— Nikita, Alexandria

My daughter was married in Rosslyn, VA last weekend and we needed someone to watch two one year old boys during the reception. The parents live in NV and NC and neither had left their child with a non-relative before. However, all the relatives were invited to the wedding. The mothers of both boys called ahead and spoke to you about their concerns and became most comfortable with your service and sitters after you answered their questions. Amy met the moms at the hotel (Hyatt Arlington) where we had set up 2 cribs in our suite. The boys were asleep and seemed happy when we all returned late that night. THANKS! Your service and a flexible sitter allowed us to celebrate knowing the boys were in great care.
— Evie, Washington, DC

I wanted to let you know what fabulous job Jenn did today for us. She is AMAZING! Thank you so much for your services, you truly saved my life today! I will definitely be a repeat client and a walking adverting for your company.
— Sonia, Potomac, MD

We absolutely love Suzanne S and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. My daughter loves her and even ran up to her and give her a huge hug yesterday afternoon when she arrived (not common for my child when it comes to sitters).
— Samantha, Manassas
