SeekingSitters is a nationwide, full service babysitting referral company founded by Adrienne Kallweit, a mom who is a licensed private investigator. The company has released a "complete guide to babysitting success" also includes detailed safety tips and ideas for babysitters and parents.

Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) February 01, 2012 - Safety is the top priority for SeekingSitters, a nationwide, full service babysitting referral company. Now the company is sharing valuable information and stories with parents and babysitters across the country. SeekingSitters has released a new book called “S.T.Y.L.E. - A Complete Guide for Babysitting Success”. The book will help families protect children at home and online, specifically on social media websites such as Facebook.

• More than 800 million people are on Facebook
• More than 14 million Facebook users are between the ages of 13 and 17
• Online predators can use social media to find exact location of potential victims
• When someone tags a photo or “checks in” at a park or other location, a predator can track that and find a potential victim

The information in the guide helps parents and sitters understand what dangers can be encountered online and how to avoid them.

“Our sitters follow strict social media guidelines that we implemented years past and continually update with the rapidly changing online environment,” said Adrienne Kallweit, Founder of SeekingSitters. “Never posting pictures of children they are sitting for and not ‘checking-in’ while on sitting events are just a few things that we require of our Certified Professional sitters to help protect the safety of the children we are watching.”

Kallweit is a mom of three and a licensed private investigator. She founded SeekingSitters after discovering a need nationwide for safe, reliable babysitters "on demand" SeekingSitters has in-house licensed private investigators who perform a hands-on screening of all sitters and member families. There are currently 57 locations in 23 states, which local parents own and operate.

Kallweit says the book is both educational and entertaining and is SeekingSitters’ way to give back to families across the country.

The guide also includes personal and heartwarming stories from SeekingSitters babysitters from across the country. The company held a contest and awarded the best story a $500 “Sitter Scholarship”. The winner is a sitter in Albany who shared the story of a four year-old girl’s kindness and desire to help. The sitter has scars from a previous illness and surgery on her neck and abdomen. When the little girl she was watching saw them she promised the sitter that if it ever happens again she can “take care of them with my Dora band aids.”

S.T.Y.L.E., A Complete Guide for Babysitting Success also includes:

• Craft ideas
• Family Information Guide to provide information for babysitters
• Babysitting success tips

S.T.Y.L.E – stands for Safety, Time (the time sitters spend with kids), Yack (no yacking on the phone), Look (each sitter looks professional), Exit (Sitters exit the home in same or better condition as they found it)
