Tammy Kennedy, a mother of three in Raleigh, started a branch of SeekingSitters.com 4 months ago. Tammy’s business — a franchise of a Tulsa, Okla.-based company — is an on-demand, rapid-response babysitting referral service. Parents can ask for help on a future date or even on the same day.
A list of babysitters is available online. Each has been interviewed and pre-screened by an in-house private investigator, and they all arrive with a backpack full of fun activities for the children.
