For Carrie Griggs, being a professional babysitter came naturally. “Im the oldest of five kids so Ive always been the babysitter so Ive just made it my part time occupation.” (Carrie Griggs, SeekingSitters.com, sitter) “We really look for girls that are applying for the right reasons. First of all that they are babysitting because they love children and they want to be around children.” (Kim Kane, SeekingSitters.com Franchise Owner) Seekingsitters.com, in Orange County, seeks to partner qualified sitters with families who dont need full time nannies but want more than just a neighborhood teen hanging with their kids. “We background check our sitters and we also background check our families so that way we know that our sitters are going to a safe environment.” “A lot of times, Ill get an email invite at 2pm saying Im supposed to be on a conference call at 4 and I panic and so Ill call the owner of seeking sitters…” (Angela Lindhorst, Jakes Mom) “All we do is play. We play scoobee doo to trains, to anything that he wants to play. I love to play!
