Care in Kansas City Johnson County, KS

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.

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 Kansas City Johnson County families say

"This is the first time my kids have ever stayed with a sitter and needless to say I was nervous. The sitter did a fantastic job with them. My 2 year old took right to her and my 9 year old didn't want her to leave. I am going to request this sitter everytime. She even cleaned up the leftover dinner!! Thank you for making this first experience for my family with a sitter such a great one."
— Bret M.

"The service provided by SeekingSitters is above and beyond what one normally thinks of as simply 'finding a babysitter'. Rather than solely relying on recommendations from friends, you gain access to some of the best sitters in Tulsa who not only have been thoroughly screened, but who have been used throughout Tulsa and receive continuous education and monitoring from SeekingSitters. The girls come in confident, enthusiastic and with an age specific plan for each child. I often come home to art projects created while I am away. I have used the service in a variety of ways - for normal babysitting needs, for an extra pair of hands, and for traveling with my family during vacation. I cannot express enough how confidant I am to leave my three children in the hands of these capable professionals."
— Kristi P.

"I just wanted to thank you for the level of service that you are giving us when you help me with Bailey and Lucas every week. I have had some sitters here that, because I am home as well, stand back and only help me out when I ask rather than jump in and help take the load of off me. You always perform as if you are here without me, and I really appreciate it! Thank you for making those days easier for me and for looking for things to do here without me even having to ask. I wanted to make sure that you know it has not gone unnoticed! Thanks again and I hope you stay with us for a long time!"
— Patti

This was our first time having a sitter other than family. I was a little nervous at first, but SeekingSitters put my mind at ease quickly. The kids had a lot of fun with the sitter! Thanks Seekingsitters! It was so nice to have a night out with my husband for a change!
— Michelle K., Overland Park, Kansas

Being able to use SeekingSitters at each of their locations nationwide when my family travels has been such a huge asset. Seeing this great company come to Kansas City is so exciting!
