Hotel Babysitting Services for Family Travel, Hotels, Resorts, Airbnb, and Vacation Rentals
Destination Sitters refers professional, thoroughly screened babysitters for traveling families who need trusted, background-checked childcare at hotels, resorts, Airbnb properties, VRBO rentals, vacation homes, and other lodging stays. Families often arrange hotel babysitting for dinners, destination weddings, conferences, reunions, excursions, and adult evening plans during vacations when children need safe, reliable supervision nearby.
Babysitters travel directly to the hotel room, resort suite, Airbnb, or vacation rental, allowing children to remain comfortable in their familiar travel environment while parents attend off-site activities, adults-only events, business meetings, receptions, or evening outings.
This service is commonly used for hotel babysitting, in-room childcare, resort childcare, Airbnb babysitting, VRBO childcare, vacation rental childcare, travel babysitting, business travel childcare, conference childcare, and evening childcare during family vacations and weekend getaways.

Our sitter was awesome! We have had the same sitter twice when visiting the San Diego area. Ali was professional, competent, and the kids had a great time! She brought many games and was very attentive. We will definitely use Destination Sitters in the future.
I was thrilled to be able to find a sitter on such short notice. Sarah was absolutely wonderful. She was running late due to traffic but called to keep us updated on where she was, which we appreciated. She was so warm and friendly towards us and Sophia just loved her! This was the first time we left Sophia with a sitter, but we felt very comfortable with Sarah.
For me, the most important aspect of the service is that you have excellent sitters. Nadine is a recent UCSD graduate, pre-med, and she is terrific, and a very sweet girl as well--my baby boy loves her!
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.
Sharon looked after our 9-month-old son Loris for us while in San Diego. She was so lovely and reassuring as we hadn't left our son with anyone before, other than family members. Sharon was so easy going and we left out son knowing he would be safe and happy. Sharon left a lovely book for our son as she said he liked it so much, which was so sweet and thoughtful. Sharon was wonderful and we thank her for her services. Thank you!!!
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!
