I recently became a member of Seekingsitters out of necessity.
I'm a single mom and had a very important meeting near Ft. Laud. My mother, who always babysits, was ill. Never using anyone else to watch my children and having less than 24 hours to find a babysitter, I remembered the polka-dotted truck I'd seen in Maitland many times (Good job, Melissa!)
I finally returned home after a very long day. It began at 6:30 a.m. (8:45am Ft. Lauderdale flight). The meeting was to end at 6:00 pm. so I scheduled my return flight accordingly (8:30 pm). The meeting ran over so I missed my return flight and had to wait 3 hours for the next. I was able to call Melissa (owner) to advise her. I knew my children were fine, I was merely concerned about the babysitter knowing she had class early the next morning.
When I arrived home (after 2:00 a.m.) the Seeking Sitters truck was parked outside. Melissa had relieved Alex so she could go home to sleep! Her dedication and thoughtfulness is something I rarely see in business.
* Coming home from such a long day to a clean playroom and living room, dinner dishes out of the sink - friendship pins and art work on the kitchen table: What a great welcoming!!!!! It's 2:50 am and I'm writing a testimonial. That speaks volumes. I'm telling all of my friends... "We're going out!!!!!"
