What a day! Sweew!

I just spent 8 hours with my daughter at the Lake Eola Children's Festival. We coupled with Little Green Money Machine. Gabby had her own "lemonade stand" (only it was all decked out with SeekingSitters banners).

She sold all sorts of toys and games, catchable bubbles, crafts.... you name it, all for the ASPCA :o) Not only that, but we handed out free helium filled SeekingSitters balloons and gave out cards with organic lollipops attached (shows we care about what their children consume).

We're finally being recognized as a premier babysitting service that provides child care for Maitland, Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Lake Mary, Heathrow, Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs.... The interest we we received went beyond my expectations! My elevator speech is no longer such... As I believe so much in this wonderful concept and my Professional Sitter Team.

I am amazed at how many parents told me that they have been looking for certified sitters and had no one to turn to. I feel good... Na na na na na na na.... I knew that I would.... :O)

SeekingSitters Orlando

Your children are your most important asset so please make sure that when you are looking for a sitter: (this is following up the story in Daytona Beach where a sitter strapped a 9 month old in a stroller and put him in the back of a pick up truck. Her response was, "Children don't come with an owner's manual!" How to Find and Screen a Sitter Ask these important questions: 1. "Why do you want this job?". This can help a parent get an idea if the sitter is motivated by a need for money more than having a love for children. 2. "Give me some examples of activities you would do with a child?" Parents should look for sitters who will engage in age appropriate activities. (My sitter bag)* 3. Ask for their credentials/background experience. CPR/First Aid certifications are required and need to be kept up to date should an emergency arise. How do u pick the perfect sitter? Parents will get referrals from friends. Because of the this, the most overlooked steop for families is references check. Make sure the sitter has updated CPR and First Aid Certifications. Find a live private investigator to preform a thorough background investigation. When you do find the background investigation firm, make sure it's thru a reputable agency. Some of the agencies that you send the sitter's social security number to are using out dated data.
