Miami Babysitting Agency

Destination Sitters connects families visiting Miami, FL with referred screened and trusted babysitters.

Parents can book directly on-line or by calling us (305) 590-5112 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 Miami, FL, 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.
