Hi Sue, you need to grade the ground on the outside where the seepage is getting in, grade it higher at the house and down as you move away

In my home town, every basement has to have a sump pump as the water table is so high. That is the best help.
You might have to add a french drain along the foundation to move the water away.... or if there is a downspout in that corner, add an underground extension to move the water away.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RosQjZ3-Alo&t=68s
