About Us

A history of Seminole Sitters...

Mary Mangan accepted her first babysitting job when she was thirteen years old, caring for a neighbor's toddler. She became CPR and First Aid certified, and continued to babysit long after she moved to Tallahassee in 2003 to study Developmental (Child) Psychology at Florida State University. Soon after coming to the Big Bend, Mary accepted a position as lead teacher in the four-year-old class of a local preschool.

Unfortunately, the Tallahassee preschool proved to be sub-par, and Mary realized an important need that existed in Tallahassee for dependable and trustworthy childcare. The better preschools had long waiting lists, and nearly all Tallahassee nannies were temporary because they often moved away after graduating from the local universities. She waited until her students transitioned to kindergarten, then set out on her own to see how she could help.

As her reputation as a great Tallahassee babysitter and nanny grew, so did her demand. She hated turning families down, so Mary compiled a list of other local sitters and passed on jobs to them; this noncompetitive attitude gained her the trust of other local sitters while ensuring that no family was left in a jam.

Upon graduating in 2007, Mary focused on expanding her business. Mary's Childcare Services was renamed and incorporated, becoming Seminole Sitters, LLC. Today, Seminole Sitters is as revolutionary and necessary as it has ever been. It is a new kind of babysitting agency. Tallahassee babysitters commit to a long-term relationship with both Seminole Sitters and the families they serve, instead of simply being placed with families; this allows Mary to ensure the utmost level of quality.

The majority of our business comes from word-of-mouth references; we have won at least one award every year since opening, and we are undoubtedly the best babysitters Tallahassee has to offer.

Seminole Sitters is here to stay, and hopes to become a positive part of your family's history, too!
