Libbie was absolutely amazing with my son. He had such a great time, and I felt so comfortable leaving him with her.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Love the ease of making the reservation. Simple, straight-forward price where it is only an hourly fee. No extra or \u201chidden\u201d additional costs. Greatly appreciate Yvonne making the reservation with the same sitter (Lauren) for the day where Lauren came in the morning for 4 hours then return to the hotel in the evening for another 4 hours. This really helped my 2year old adjust easily with Lauren. Just wanted to add that Lauren Crites is fantastic! My 2-year old can have stranger anxiety where if I\u2019m not there, she would not want to stay with a sitter. Let me just say, my daughter immediately adjusted with Lauren. There were no tears. I was able to easily leave her in the hands of Lauren without any worry. Lauren is very calm, flexible, easy-going, extremely attentive to my 2 year-old and would even interact\/play with my 5year old (he didn\u2019t feel left out) while at Camp Pelican. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable. Now I have a reason to return to the area again!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Wow. I would do anything to have a sitter like Martha at home. She was beyond qualified, the kids absolutely loved her (which made it easy for us to be away, knowing they were so happy). She was kind and gentle and so loving to the kids. And so knowledgeable. It was such a comfort having her there!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

What a great resource Destination Sitters\u2019 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\u2019t do with the kids. They said their sitter was \u201cawesome.\u201d 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><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

I want to thank you for the chance to have an adult evening out on our trip. Rebecca was wonderful! A lot of people can be overwhelmed by our triplet boys- but she seemed comfortable right away. And our boys were at ease with her immediately as well. They all had a good night! You are lucky to have Rebecca. Please give her our kindest regards.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

The convenience of booking and paying with a credit card (I don\u2019t 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.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>
