Meet Yvonne

Founder & Managing Director

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

Libbie was absolutely amazing with my son. He had such a great time, and I felt so comfortable leaving him with her.


Zena Gardner

The convenience of booking and paying with a credit card (I don't like carrying a lot of cash on vacation), the sitter did a great job with our son and he had a wonderful time and was talking about the fun he had for days.


Alan Lynn

ALL of your sitters have been AWESOME! I love that I can be sure that they have the experience to handle any situation- from keeping kids entertained and stimulated, to knowing what to do in case of an emergency. Thank you for letting me be able to NOT worry when I am away from our little loves!


Erin Montoya

Very professional and friendly. Answered all my questions. The sitter Maria did a fabulous job with my two boys. They said they enjoyed her watching them and playing games.


Karen Korza

Destination Sitters made our experience easy, fun and safe. Jenny, our sitter, was lovely. Our son thought she was great. What a pleasure!


Colleen Quinn

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 :)
