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.

I was traveling from the East for a week-long conference. Since my children were young and we had never been separated I needed to bring them with me. Having Disneyland nearby was just a bonus. If I had to fly a sitter out with me and also pay for her room and travel there was no way to afford it. I found DS online and loved that you pre-screened all your sitters so well. It made me feel so comfortable with all the choices. Since I would be working all day, I wanted a lifeguard who would take them to the pool all day and out of the hotel room. DS made sure to send us one so that I knew the boys would be safe without me around. She fed them lunch and had them down for late afternoon naps so when I got back at five thirty they were ready for a quick dinner and still had enough energy to try the parks for a few hours. Our trip was perfect and would not have possible without your service. Thank you for helping us create memories to last a lifetime. PS: the boys still ask about our sitter and would love for her to come and visit:)

Peace of mind. You do not feel like you are bringing a 'complete stranger' into a hotel room to sit with your children. Knowing that applicants are screened in advance is a great asset. The entire transaction was very thorough and professional. Very much appreciated the contract from the follow-up phone call with confirmation of sitter and name. The email confirmation prior to her arriving. In addition, the sitter had a written contract to sign. Lastly, the follow up receipt and this survey. Some may think this is 'overkill' but there have been times when you book through a hotel or resort you just are not sure the sitter will show up. This was completely the opposite! Highly recommend this service!

I had an amazing experience with Destination Sitters! This was the first time I ever had to use a sitter service ever and we happened to even be on vacation! We were going to a fancy dinner Friday night and taking kids wasn’t an option. Jess A. was our sitter and she was amazing. She was warm, kind, and I felt very comfortable leaving my 3 kids all under 5 with her (5yr old girl, 3yr old girl, 11mo boy). She brought a bag of goodies for my kids to play with which was awesome since we didn’t have much in the hotel villa to play with. The best part of the service was that Jess called to introduce herself before she arrived, on time of course with in the cutest uniform, texted me a couple of updates while we were out, and even left a page of notes about how the night went with everything they did on it! I would definitely use Destination Sitters again and would recommend it to any one with kids who need a night out and family or their normal sitter isn’t available.

Love the ease of making the reservation. Simple, straight-forward price where it is only an hourly fee. No extra or "hidden" 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'm 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't 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 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.
