Why Experienced Planners Are Adding Professional Childcare to Their Events
As the events industry evolves, attendee expectations are shifting. Today’s guests want more than great content—they want inclusive, accessible experiences that meet real-life needs. And for many attendees, that means one thing: childcare.
Guest experience is the new ROI. Removing barriers to attendance—like the need for childcare—is no longer a luxury. It’s a strategic differentiator.
Destination Sitters delivers that solution.
We provide professional, on-site event childcare that helps planners increase attendance, extend dwell time, and boost guest satisfaction. It’s a win-win: parents stay present, kids stay safe and happy, and your event runs more smoothly.
What Event Pros Need to Know
Improved ROI for Organizers
Events that offer childcare see higher registration, longer dwell times, and increased session attendance. It’s a smart value-add that directly supports your KPIs.
Inclusivity and Accessibility
On-site childcare allows parents to attend and participate fully—especially women in leadership, international guests, and multi-day attendees. It removes a key obstacle for many professionals.
Seamless Collaboration
We work directly with planners, venues, DMCs, and vendors to handle logistics. Whether you need conference childcare, pop-up babysitting for multi-day events, or VIP family coverage, we make the process effortless.
We Handle Everything
From liability coverage to caregiver screening, we manage the entire operation. All sitters meet Destination Sitters' strict vetting standards and arrive with toys, games, and age-appropriate activities in hand.
Tailored for Your Format
We build pop-up childcare zones that reflect your event's tone and purpose—quiet corners for naps, creativity stations, STEM zones, and more. Designed with the MICE sector in mind.

Destination Sitters' Reviews
Easy access, even for last minute arrangements. Very professional, friendly, fun sitter. A model customer service; responsive, communicative. Real, humane communication not some tired, careless, just "business" attitude. Wish somebody told me about this service for my prior travels. My best wishes to whole team who make this service available. Thanks.
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.
Very professional and friendly. Answered all my questions. The sitter Maria did a fabulous job with my two boys. They said they enjoyed her watching them and playing games.
We thought Heather was very friendly, trustworthy and responsible. Our son said she she was the "best babysitter ever!"
Extremely friendly and efficient service through the booking process. Gabby was great - my daughter had a great time with her and was great to have peace of mind while travelling in another country. Thank you :)
The convenience of booking and paying with a credit card (I don't 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.
