Care in Raleigh Research Triangle, NC

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.

As we continue to build our client base in the Triangle we look forward to allowing you the opportunity to meet other sitters in the area. Sarai is the Sitter of the month for April! Our Sitter of the month criteria is based upon job performance, families positive feedback and reliability. She is smart(did I mention she is fluent in 5 languages) funny and reliable and we love having her on our sitting team: our families feel the same way! It's such a refreshing opportunity to be able to help out our community with safe and reliable sitters. Sarai is very much sought after, even after only being with our team for a couple of months! Our greatest compliments always come from the families that refer our services to new family members. With that being said, if the sitters were not TOP NOTCH, the families would not be satisfied, thus would not refer us out! Way to go Sarai...Keep making our little treasures happy and help us to teach our children things that all of us are not capeable of doing! (Did I mention she speaks FIVE LANGUAGES)! GREAT JOB LADY, THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEPENDABILITY!

What Raleigh Research Triangle families say

I want you to know that your service is really an asset in our community. I am reluctant to leave my children in the care of someone I do not know, but your service, with background checks and someone who cares, helps to give me a level of confidence.
— Andrea, North Raleigh

"Our lives were completely unmanageable - my husband and I felt stretched literally in a triangle, as we work in two different cities, 20 miles away from home and from each other, leaving one of the children at school in our hometown (with a 5:30 pickup time!). I happened upon SeekingSitters, signed up, and the following day met our sitter, a wonderful woman named Christine. She has ever since then been keeping the chaos at bay by picking up both the kids from school two days a week, playing with them and getting them dinner, bathing them and nurturing them until we get home from work. Then the time we get with them is pure quality time, and they are perfectly happy and love her! Last minute changes have been handled with a super easy-going approach, and I am amazed at how beautiful everything looks when I come home - what an amazing feeling to not have to hit the 'second job' of dinner, dishes and picking up! I have recommended this to all my friends, even for just a once a month date night. It is well worth it to be able to step out or get other things done knowing your children are in excellent hands. Thanks for keeping us sane, SeekingSitters!"

Thank you SeekingSitters! As a new mom with a newborn, my fears of having someone sit for him while I returned to school were incredible. SeekingSitters is very professional, friendly, attentive, and patient (even with me as a worried mom :-)). We are very happythey arecaring for our baby boy. Thank you!
— Launiece, Raleigh

I just love SeekingSitters! The girls are great and I feel comfortable with leaving my little boy with them. My husband and I are new parents and we don't have any family around. So finding a babysitter or someone we trusted to keep our little boy was always difficult. We read about SeekingSitters in a Carolina Parent Magazine and we decided to try them out. At first we were a little hesitate because we were not use to leaving our son with anyone other than our normal daycare provider. When the sitter came in she automatically took to our son and made us feel comfortable. She was also very knowledgeable of different child care methods (soothing techniques, various games & activities, etc...) My husband and I are finally able to have some couple time!
— Courtney, Raleigh

What a fantastic service! I was a little apprehensive at first, but decided to try out the service, as I was in a bind, and could have canceled if the feeling wasn't right. To my surprise my first sitter was AWESOME. I have since used the service many times and every sitter that has arrived to watch over my children are as if they have been hand picked me! Thank you SeekingSitters for offering a Great service, with an IMPECCABLE group of girls!
— Rebecca, Chapel Hill

"We love your girls! All of them have been an absolute joy and I feel so comfortable leaving my daughter with them. She has had great experiences with each of them. She's always happy when I leave and seems to have had a great time while I'm gone. Everything is always in order at home! I am so grateful to have found your service. I really struggled with the whole babysitter deal until you came into our life."
— Cristina, Wake Forest
