When I moved to San Diego more than 17 years ago, I needed childcare myself. Like most parents, I assumed there were standards for temporary babysitting—but I was shocked to learn that no state standards or licensing requirements existed. That realization led me to create Destination Sitters.
From day one, my goal has been simple: Give Parents Peace of Mind®. To achieve that, I established the strictest screening process in the industry. Every sitter we refer is thoroughly background checked, drug tested, CPR/First Aid certified, and personally vetted. Families can feel confident knowing their children are in safe and capable hands.
What began as a personal need has now grown into a trusted nationwide service. Today, Destination Sitters operates in 21 U.S. cities and is recommended by over 5,000 hotels, wedding planners, and event coordinators.
As both a mom and the founder of Destination Sitters, I understand how important it is to know your children are well cared for—so you can truly enjoy your time away.

Destination Sitters' Reviews
Maria provided complete attunement during her service. She made me feel as if she was a family member which gave me ease and peace of mind. I mostly like the fact that my kids enjoyed their time during Maria's service "because she was running around and playing" with the kids. Extend your services to Fresno, CA.....maybe? ...I know people in Fresno are used to Kidspark prices; however, the quality you provide for childcare is priceless...you are high quality childcare which is nonexistent in Fresno.
Christa was amazing! Harrison loved her and I immediately felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Christa/Destination Sitters allowed us to enjoy a day in NAPA while Harrison had a great time at the park. Thanks again!
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.
Person who answered my questions over the phone made me feel confident that this sitter service was the right one. When I told Sharon what I needed and how to work with my child, she followed my directions to the letter. My nephew also had a great time with Sharon.
We had never used a service before, so we were very nervous. The moment we met Laura, we felt at ease. She was very professional and kind. Our daughter liked her immediately. Additionally, the service was easy to use and set-up. The staff was easy to work with and courteous. We really appreciated the advanced information regarding the sitter. She even called us ahead of time to check in. Very good experience.
Love the website, easy to book, quick response when I left a vm. Linda was fantastic. Loved that she was pretty much an expert in watching kids at hotels! Most sitters don't have that experience. She was awesome. She texted us to let us know the kids were asleep, which I loved. Very impressed with her.
