Clarian Health Partners RN from Indianapolis Starts Babysitting Business Franchise

Indy Maternity, Baby & Toddler Expo Features More Than 150 Exhibitors, Fun Games, Family Entertainment

Kristin is the mom of three young children and she knows f irst hand how challenging it can be to f ind good childcare. For many years it was a strain to f ind a daycare that would accommodate early morning or evening work schedules at the Hospital where she worked as an RN. It was also diff icult to f ind someone to help out on the occasional date night. After struggling to f ind a babysitter after her third baby was born that would work with her schedule, she found SeekingSitters, and opened a franchise in the Indianapolis area to provide child care to other parents in need of quality, reliable and trustworthy sitters.

Indiana’s “big baby” is turning 5, as the Indy Maternity, Baby, & Toddler Expo, the state’s largest and premier event for parents and their little ones, comes to the Indianapolis State Fairgrounds, Saturday, October 16 (10 a.m – 5 p.m.) and Sunday, October 17, 2010 (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.). The Expo will celebrate five years in Indy with more than 150 exhibitors offering the latest products and services for mom, dad, and baby.

She is like any other working mom who continually juggles both a work life and personal life. With 3 kids, newborn and a 3-year-old and 9-year-old, she is very busy with all of their activities. So, after many successful years of being a Registered Nurse, she took the leap of faith into the franchise business of SeekingSitters. Her goal is to help families f ind the perfect sitter for each member that she serves.

The Indy Maternity, Baby, & Toddler Expo is the “onesies-stop” shop for new and expectant families. Highlights include the latest products (everything from eco-friendly baby goodies to furniture and more), games and prizes (including the famous Diaper Derby and Daddyathon), live entertainment, lounges for mom and dad (Mommy Pampering Lounge and Daddy Tailgate Lounge),

SeekingSitters provides the same unique, reliable and trustworthy service in every franchise location. And the service provided includes a properly performed background screening on each SeekingSitters referred babysitter and each family that utilizes the service. These background investigations are performed through SeekingSitters inhouse investigation company, Hide and Seek. Hide and Seek was founded in 1978 and from 30 years of investigative experience, they know that pertinent personal character information can be overlooked unless an in-depth background investigation is performed on an individual; therefore, an intense hands-on background check is performed on every sitter. This thorough background check process, in conjunction with SeekingSitters one-on-one interview process, is how SeekingSitters babysitting service can f ind and screen the best sitters possible.
