Person who answered my questions over the phone made me feel confident that this sitter service was the right one. When I told Sharon what I needed and how to work with my child, she followed my directions to the letter. My nephew also had a great time with Sharon.

I wanted to reach out with a quick note to let you know how great our sitter, Megan was. We had the pleasure of having her sit for us two nights while we were on a getaway from the Scottsdale heat in Hermosa/Manhattan Beach last weekend. This was the first time we had used your service. As a new mom (our son Ty is 5-months-old), it's a little unnerving leaving your child with a stranger--especially while away from home. Megan couldn't have made us more comfortable. She endured my million questions (I'm a lawyer, so I ask a lot), communicated with us regularly while we were out, and was just a sweet person. In short, everything that we could have hoped for. After a successful first night, we had her back again to sit for us and another couple traveling with us after I assured the other mom (who is a physician and also getting used to leaving her 10-month old with sitters), of our positive experience. Megan handled all with ease. I couldn't have been more impressed--or relieved! I know Megan has other aspirations in Hollywood, and we wish her all the best, but in the meantime, you've certainly found a gem in her and as a representative of your service.

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.

For me, the most important aspect of the service is that you have excellent sitters. Nadine is a recent UCSD graduate, pre-med, and she is terrific, and a very sweet girl as well--my baby boy loves her!

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!

ALL of your sitters have been AWESOME! I love that I can be sure that they have the experience to handle any situation- from keeping kids entertained and stimulated, to knowing what to do in case of an emergency. Thank you for letting me be able to NOT worry when I am away from our little loves!
