My Personal Experience Using SeekingSitters OC

A couple weeks ago I did a post on SeekingSitters OC which is a babysitting referral service that will find you a great, reliable, background-checked sitter when you need one. In doing my research for that post, I spoke with Kim Kane, the local Orange County owner, for almost an hour about her company and the service they provide.

At the time, my husband and I were planning on having to cancel on friends for an upcoming fun dinner event because we didn’t have a sitter available. Because I have never left my kids with someone I hadn’t previously met, it didn’t occur to me to use a service like this. In fact, the thought of it before would have made me nervous.

But after talking to her I felt so comfortable with her and her company that I went ahead and asked her if I could give SeekingSitters OC a try so we could go to our dinner. Which we did this past weekend, and I am thrilled to share my personal experience today!
