Destination Sitters made our experience easy, fun and safe. Jenny, our sitter, was lovely. Our son thought she was great. What a pleasure!

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.

We had never used a service before, so we were very nervous. The moment we met Laura, we felt at ease. She was very professional and kind. Our daughter liked her immediately. Additionally, the service was easy to use and set-up. The staff was easy to work with and courteous. We really appreciated the advanced information regarding the sitter. She even called us ahead of time to check in. Very good experience.

Love the website, easy to book, quick response when I left a vm. Linda was fantastic. Loved that she was pretty much an expert in watching kids at hotels! Most sitters don't have that experience. She was awesome. She texted us to let us know the kids were asleep, which I loved. Very impressed with her.

Yvonne was very helpful in finding the perfect sitter for us. Our son has epilepsy, and she was very reassuring that she could find the right person, with medical training even, to ensure our son got his medications and to ensure we felt comfortable leaving him with a stranger. We typically only leave our two boys with relatives, so this was a leap for us. But our sitter, Sharon, warmed up to our children and our friend's children instantly and all 4 kids really liked her.

My kids had such a great time. Courtney called me the day of the sit and asked permission for nail polish with the girls. My husband and I ended up coming back to our hotel room early and the girls begged us to leave again so Courtney could stay the entire time she was supposed to stay. When you ask my kids what their favorite part of Disneyland was Courtney is always in the top five "attractions". My girls even wanted to ask Courtney to spend the night!
