Meet Yvonne
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
We had a fabulous experience with our sitter. My son loved her - she was so friendly, energetic and upbeat that he had a wonderful time. The weather was so beautiful that they could explore San Diego by stroller. That was so much better than being in the hotel all the time. He was so excited to see her every morning - that made leaving so much easier. I would certainly recommend your services and will be calling again if we are coming to the area. Ali was fantastic!!!
Easy access, even for last minute arrangements. Very professional, friendly, fun sitter. A model customer service; responsive, communicative. Real, humane communication not some tired, careless, just "business" attitude. Wish somebody told me about this service for my prior travels. My best wishes to whole team who make this service available. Thanks.
I loved the initial customer service. Alex made sure to find the right sitter for our six-month-old twins. Maria was excellent. Our babies were fed, changed, and completely asleep when we returned. She also updated us with texts.
Yvonne was very helpful in finding the perfect sitter for us. Our son has epilepsy, and she was very reassuring that she could find the right person, with medical training even, to ensure our son got his medications and to ensure we felt comfortable leaving him with a stranger. We typically only leave our two boys with relatives, so this was a leap for us. But our sitter, Sharon, warmed up to our children and our friend's children instantly and all 4 kids really liked her.
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.
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.
