Safe Match Experts
Founded in 2004 by a mom and dad team, SeekingSitters began as a safety and convience solution to the child care delimma. Adrienne Kallweit, licensed private investigator, with her husband David realized the need for indepth screening with on-demand convenience.
Team Working for You
Since that time SeekingSitters has grown into so much more, becoming a integral part of your family's total child care solution plan. We grow with your family, we personally work for you.
Our Story
“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 thousands of babysitting jobs monthly with locations across the nation. Adrienne and David remain involved in the growth of SeekingSitters and are committed to making sure that childcare is offered in a safe and reliable method in all 50 states.
Our Investigations
It is important for a consumer to understand that there is no such thing as "instant" results on a true background investigation. A company claiming to run a "background check" on someone could merely be retrieving online data and passing it on to you without any further verification of the information - this is not a background investigation! Such "background check" data retrieval providers merely scratch the surface of a person's character profile history.
A customized, in-depth background screening is performed on each SeekingSitters referred babysitter by a licensed private investigator. The investigation is not limited to one state or constrained to a specific time period; the investigation will gather information from the necessary sources required for each Professional Sitter. SeekingSitters also screens members for the sitter's safety.
Our Promise
We promise that we will treat every sitter investigation and screening process with the utmost importance, never skipping one step. We will only bring on the best of the best of Professional Sitters onto our babysitting team for your family and value your feedback.
There is nothing more precious than your children and at SeekingSitters, we make it our promise to build the safest and most reliable sitting community.
