All SeekingSitters families must fill out an online application and be approved prior to requesting a sitter.  Once approved the family can log into their online account and start requesting sitters.  If away from the computer, the local office can be contacted to make a request.  Each request is sent directly to a local SeekingSitters representative who immediately starts working to fill the need.  Once a prescreened Certified Sitter is matched and assigned, the family receives an email notification specifying the details of the event as well as the assigned sitter.  The family can log back into their account and view the sitter's photo as well as read her profile and read feedback posted about the sitter from other families that have utilized her service.   

Payment of the babysitting services are made by credit card and the sitter will show up at your home with a job card to denote the start and end times of the event.  Once the charges are processed a detailed invoices is forwarded to the family and the family can also look up charges from their online account and have handy for year-end reporting.  

 

Although only requests made over 7 days in advance are guaranteed to be filled, SeekingSitters accepts requests regardless of the advance notice and will make every effort to fill each request.  Over 40% of all requests are made less than 72 hours in advance and you can track the status of any request online from your personal account.
