Member Spotlight

Linda Quinones
Owner of SeekingSitters - Montgomery County & Washington, DC

Babysitter's Mom Becomes Franchisee!

Linda Quinones is the proud mother of four adult children. Family has always been very important to Linda, including being a stay at home mom, as was her mom. They enjoy family meals, playing games and weekends at their lake house. Linda worked nearly 20 years in direct sales with The Pampered Chef while raising her children. As her children are now grown and their needs and time available to get together with family was changing, Linda was ready for a new business adventure. She liked the flexibility of working from home but didn’t want to be gone nights and weekends so she could enjoy her children when they are available.

As she contemplated her future, one of her daughters suggested SeekingSitters, the sitting referral service she had worked with as a sitter for over 4 years. Owning a franchise that allowed flexible hours and a great investment- it was a perfect fit! Linda is excited to help families in Montgomery County Maryland and Washington DC find safe and reliable sitters!

SeekingSitters is an on demand sitting referral service that does all the work for both the family and the professional sitter. All of the sitters are at least 18 years of age, have professional sitting experience, have CPR & First Aid certification and have undergone an intense background check by our their own in house Licensed and Bonded Background Check company They offer babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting and study support. They offer in home sitting, hotel sitting, event sitting, church nursery support, corporate employee benefits and much more.

Linda started this business at the end of August 2014 and is enjoying helping parents be able to go out on a date without worry, go to work for an important meeting, or attend meetings at a conference at their hotel. SeekingSitters is the only insured on-call sitting referral service of its kind. No longer will you have to call every kid on the block to find a sitter. One call to SeekingSitters and a background-screened certified sitter will contact you! No more stopping at the ATM on the way home or figuring out what to pay the sitter. We do the exact calculations for you! It can't get any easier than that.
