About SeekingSitters Franchise System Inc.
SeekingSitters was founded in 2004 by Adrienne and David Kallweit, who saw the need for a babysitter referral service because of their own difficulties finding reliable caretakers for their son. As a licensed private investigator, Adrienne's idea was to do background screenings on all prospective sitters. The Kallweits began franchising SeekingSitters in 2006.Franchise Units
