Destination Sitters' Reviews

The convenience of finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter at the last minute.


Bernadine Karunaratne

Great service. Michelle was just terrific. She made our vacation that much better.


Christopher Simon

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.


Jill Bombino

I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful experience. I was so nervous about leaving my boys and your sitter was fantastic! Both days I returned everyone was smiling! Please let the sitter, Katherine know how very much I appreciated her! I'm leaving a recommendation for your company on the DIS boards online. When I return to Disneyland, I will be sure to use your services again.


Gretchen West

Our sitter, Linda, was excellent. We were very, very happy with her services. Also, the hiring process was very efficient. We loved the experience of working with your company. :) Congratulations! Another great experience with your company. Maria was extremely professional, and very caring! My daughter had a great time, and I was able to take care of my appointments without any worries! Thanks!!!


Gabriela Zapata

I just left this review on Yelp and thought I'd share with you: Our family went on a work/family trip to Anaheim. I spent my days with our two daughters (ages 9 & 7) while my husband was at his conference. At night, the husband and I had many events to attend. We hired Destination Sitters on a recommendation from a co-worker. We were assigned Kathy N. as our sitter and could not have received a better sitter for our girls! She has a nurturing personality, along with an education background. She kept our girls thoroughly entertained by bringing her own games to play with them, her swimsuit to hang out at the pool, and her genuine attitude of caring about children. Never once did we have a doubt the girls were well taken care of, as all they could talk about the next day was how much fun they had with Kathy. If you're traveling and need a sitter, put your mind at ease and go with Destination Sitters!

Frequently Asked Questions

Destination Sitters connects families visiting Los Angeles County, CA with referred screened and trusted babysitters.

Parents can book directly on-line or by calling us (310) 421-0694 or 1-888-SIT-KIDZ (1-888-748-5439)

We match babysitters with the parents' and children's needs. After making a reservation, parents will receive a sit confirmation confirming their hotel, date and time requested, any specific instructions for the sitter and a profile of their sitter. Bookings must be for a minimum of 4 hours and can be longer. Reservations are held with a credit card and there may be cancellation fees if booked sits are cancelled within twenty-four hours of the sit time or otherwise. Please review our Cancellation Policy.

Our sitters arrive early to make sure you can be on time with your plans and to go over your specific instructions and the permission forms. Babysitters wear a Destination Sitters' polo shirt and have a picture ID (so you and other guests know this is your babysitter) and bring age-appropriate toys, games, books, and activities.

Destination Sitters refers reliable and trustworthy babysitters in Los Angeles County, CA, giving you peace of mind while you go out for date night, attend corporate events, weddings, or explore the city.

While everyone assumes that the state has minimum standards for temporary babysitting, there are no state standards or licensing requirements for temporary childcare.

Destination Sitters has created standards for its sitters.

All Destination Sitters

1. are background checked, drug tested

2.  have professional and personal references checked

3. have provided First Aid & CPR certificates

4. are undergraduates, graduate students, moms, and grandmothers

5. average between 22-28 years old, though we also can refer older sitters (minimum age is 18)

Many companies claim to be "Licensed and Bonded." Since there is no state "license" for temporary childcare, their license is merely a city business license, which all businesses are required to have. The bond is most often either a surety bond (for the sitter to get paid) or for theft (usually limited to $3,000-$5,000) for the owner, not the sitter. A bond is not liability insurance.

Destination Sitters strives to accommodate requests for specific babysitters in Los Angeles County, CA, providing continuity of care for your children.

Parents can request the same babysitter every time or for multiple day sits. We will do our best to accommodate the same sitter for a family's babysitting request. Since it's subject to the babysitter's availability, we suggest booking your sit request at least 24 hours in advance, and more if it's a multi-day request. Of course, any last-minute sit requests are always subject to sitters’ availability and our confirming a babysitter to you.

Yes, After booking a babysitter, parents will receive a sit confirmation, which includes the sitter's profile and specific information confirming the parents’ hotel, hotel's address, date(s), and time(s) of their childcare request in Los Angeles County, CA.

Parents should review their sit confirmation and make sure ALL information they provide to us is correct; and confirm the dates and times provided. Many cities have hotels with similar names and/or multiple locations.…For example: Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Four Seasons, Loews, etc, all have several hotels in each area in which we provide babysitting services; we want to send the sitter to the correct location!

It is recommended to give Destination Sitters in Los Angeles County, CA as much notice as possible to ensure the availability of a babysitter.

We suggest that you make a babysitting reservation at least 24 hours in advance to match your children with the best babysitter for your needs, but we will make every effort to book any same day babysitting request and can usually accommodate you. Any last-minute sit requests are always subject to the sitters who are available and all requests to our confirming a babysitter to you.

For two, three, or more multi-day sits of 4 hours each, a 4-hour minimum charge at the confirmed hourly rate will be charged for each day that sits have been booked, unless the sits are cancelled the same number of days in advance. So, for example, if you have booked a hotel babysitter for two days, that sit of two days must be cancelled at least 48 hours before the first reserved sit start time or two 4-hour minimum charges (i.e., 8 hours – one 4-hour charge for each of the two booked days) at the confirmed hourly rate will be charged. Sits of three days must be cancelled at least 72 hours before the first reserved sit start time or three 4-hour minimum charges (i.e., 12 hours – one 4-hour charge for each of the three booked days) at the confirmed hourly rate will be charged. Sits of four days must be cancelled at least four days in advance of the first reserved sit start time or four, 4-hour minimum charges (16 hours) at the confirmed hourly rate will be charged.

For sits longer than 4 hours each day or for more than four days, at a minimum, the above policy shall apply; however, please contact the office to see if an additional cancellation policy could apply to your sit.

Sits on Destination Sitters’ designated holidays require notice at least 72 hours in advance of the first reserved sit time and other cancellation fees may apply depending on the length of the booked sit, etc.
