Care in DC Metro - Washington DC, DC

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.

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.

Babysitter's Mom becomes Franchisee!

Linda Quinones, Owner of SeekingSitters Washington D.C. and Montgomery County, MD

Linda Quinones is the proud mother of four adult children. Family has always been very important to Linda, including being a stay at home mom, as was her mom. Linda worked nearly 20 years in direct sales and building a million dollar sales career,while raising her children. The Quinones family still gets together for family meals and quality weekends at their lake house, but as her children are now grown, Linda was ready for a new business adventure. As she contemplated her future, her daughter suggested SeekingSitters, the sitting referral service she had worked with as a sitter for over 4 years. Owning a franchise that allowed flexible hours and a great investment- it was a perfect fit! Linda is excited to help families in Montgomery County Maryland and the Washington DC area find safe and reliable sitters!

What DC Metro - Washington DC families say

After trying a different sitting service this month, we were unsatisfied with the quality of service and professionalism they provided. As such, I am hoping to work with you and SeekingSitters again to ensure that we are working with a trusted partner!
— Chandler, Washington DC

Linda was a lovely and calm presence for my daughter and I felt very confident leaving my toddler in her care. She gave helpful feedback about the day when I returned as well. I appreciate her professionalism and am glad we found Seeking Sitters!
— Meredith, SE Washington, DC

Daungelia was absolutely excellent. She also called a day or two ahead of time to confirm and check in. Much appreciated.
— Karen, NW, Washington DC

While visiting DC from Brooklyn, we used SeekingSitters and had a wonderful experience. Sarah was great! She came with stories, games, etc. and took our daughter out to play in the park! We can't wait to come back to DC so they can use SeekingSitters again!
— Stephen, Brooklyn, NY

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!
