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
Our experience with Destination Sitters' was perfect! Martha was great with our 3-year-old boy. She was professional, yet very friendly and had lots of toys/games that instantly had him engaged. It was clear that he felt comfortable with her and they had a good rapport within minutes. He even invited her out to "Vegas" to see us. We would definitely use the service again. As a mother, I really appreciated how nurturing she was with our boy, especially since he was feeling a bit under the weather.
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.
What a great resource Destination Sitters' provides, for parents like me who want the peace of mind of leaving the kids with a safe and responsible young adult, who is also so much fun that the kids are happy to go with them. It gave me a few hours to enjoy the La Costa resort in ways that I couldn't do with the kids. They said their sitter was "awesome." I felt confidence to leave them with him, and I got the rejuvenation I wanted from a few hours at the spa! I will definitely be calling you again!
I appreciate the professionalism and being able to contact the main office and speak to someone in person at any time. The sitter, Maria, was just incredible. Not only did she show up a little earlier and immediately started caring for the kids (which helped me get ready for my outing), but she completed all my requests better than I expected; she took kiddos outside to the beach and then to nearby park to play. She fed them, gave them baths, etc. best part was that she also responded to my texts and that gave me incredible peace of mind. It was a great experience. We'll be back.
Todd was spectacular. My boys loved him. He was fun, responsible and courteous.
We thought Heather was very friendly, trustworthy and responsible. Our son said she she was the "best babysitter ever!"
