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.

What San Diego families say

If Mikayla were a season, she would be summer; kind and affectionate. If Mikayla were an animal, she would be a puppy; boisterous and active. If Mikayla were an object, she would be a slinky; jumpy and definitly not shy. If Mikayla were a fruit, she would be a mango; always in a good mood. My Babysitter

— Noah M (age 11), San Diego

"As a first time mother leaving her 4.5 month old daughter to go back to work was heart wrenching. She really made my stress level decrease! She took detailed notes of what they did all day. She even took pictures so I could see how my daughter did. She was extremely sympathetic to my nerves (even when I called her every two hours to check up on my little girl). I am so happy to have her and thankful to SeekingSitters for matching her with us. I look forward to building a "family like" relationship with her!"

— Tonya, San Diego

"Having time to take a break from the kids is heaven. I so look forward to it each week & my hubby and I haved loved our date nights. But most of all we're happy knowing the kids are both so happy and in good hands. Makes enjoying some personal time that much better."

— M. Green, San Marcos

"I think the monthly fee is worth it when you all can provide a service like this!!!"

— Melissa B, .

This was my FIRST TIME ever leaving my 19 month with someone I have never met in my life and I was very nervous. The sitter was very professional, sweet and loving to my little boy. She was on time and I could tell that he had a good day when I came home from work. Thank you so much!
