Extremely friendly and efficient service through the booking process. Gabby was great - my daughter had a great time with her and was great to have peace of mind while travelling in another country. Thank you :)
We thought Heather was very friendly, trustworthy and responsible. Our son said she she was the "best babysitter ever!"
Peace of mind. You do not feel like you are bringing a 'complete stranger' into a hotel room to sit with your children. Knowing that applicants are screened in advance is a great asset. The entire transaction was very thorough and professional. Very much appreciated the contract from the follow-up phone call with confirmation of sitter and name. The email confirmation prior to her arriving. In addition, the sitter had a written contract to sign. Lastly, the follow up receipt and this survey. Some may think this is 'overkill' but there have been times when you book through a hotel or resort you just are not sure the sitter will show up. This was completely the opposite! Highly recommend this service!
Our sitter, Linda, was excellent. We were very, very happy with her services. Also, the hiring process was very efficient. We loved the experience of working with your company. :) Congratulations! Another great experience with your company. Maria was extremely professional, and very caring! My daughter had a great time, and I was able to take care of my appointments without any worries! Thanks!!!
I had an amazing experience with Destination Sitters! This was the first time I ever had to use a sitter service ever and we happened to even be on vacation! We were going to a fancy dinner Friday night and taking kids wasn’t an option. Jess A. was our sitter and she was amazing. She was warm, kind, and I felt very comfortable leaving my 3 kids all under 5 with her (5yr old girl, 3yr old girl, 11mo boy). She brought a bag of goodies for my kids to play with which was awesome since we didn’t have much in the hotel villa to play with. The best part of the service was that Jess called to introduce herself before she arrived, on time of course with in the cutest uniform, texted me a couple of updates while we were out, and even left a page of notes about how the night went with everything they did on it! I would definitely use Destination Sitters again and would recommend it to any one with kids who need a night out and family or their normal sitter isn’t available.
I want to thank you for the chance to have an adult evening out on our trip. Rebecca was wonderful! A lot of people can be overwhelmed by our triplet boys- but she seemed comfortable right away. And our boys were at ease with her immediately as well. They all had a good night! You are lucky to have Rebecca. Please give her our kindest regards.
