I can not even put into words how impressed I was with Destination Sitters! They were informative, professional, friendly - truly amazing. I received a bio on the sitter by email. A call from the sitter prior to coming. She showed up 5 minutes early, in uniform, with a bag of toys and a smile! When I returned she left a worksheet of everything my 14 month old and her got up to in the 4 hrs I was gone and I received a thank you card from HER! I would use them over and over again. I really haven't been this impressed with a company in a long time. Thank you, Destination Sitters, very much.

Our experience with Destination Sitters' was perfect! Martha was great with our 3-year-old boy. She was professional, yet very friendly and had lots of toys/games that instantly had him engaged. It was clear that he felt comfortable with her and they had a good rapport within minutes. He even invited her out to "Vegas" to see us. We would definitely use the service again. As a mother, I really appreciated how nurturing she was with our boy, especially since he was feeling a bit under the weather.

Great service. Michelle was just terrific. She made our vacation that much better.

I appreciate the professionalism and being able to contact the main office and speak to someone in person at any time. The sitter, Maria, was just incredible. Not only did she show up a little earlier and immediately started caring for the kids (which helped me get ready for my outing), but she completed all my requests better than I expected; she took kiddos outside to the beach and then to nearby park to play. She fed them, gave them baths, etc. best part was that she also responded to my texts and that gave me incredible peace of mind. It was a great experience. We'll be back.

My husband and I want to share our positive feedback regarding Destination Sitter and the experience we had with our sitter Emily Purdy. We came to San Diego this past weekend for a wedding. We are from Boston and did not know anyone to watch our 2-year-old Charlotte, as everyone we knew was already using their own nannies and the individuals they knew were away for the holiday weekend. It was a bit nerve racking taking a risk to leave her for a lengthy period of time with a new person, but I felt confident after talking with you on the phone during the screening process. The day would be a long day as the sit started in the afternoon and went into the evening for the wedding. We had Emily come 30 minutes prior to us leaving so that our daughter Charlotte would have some time to get a bit acclimated and see me with Emily. When Emily arrived, she had a smiling face, genuinely caring energy, and professional appearance. She even brought a bag of age-appropriate toys to compliment ours. Charlotte took right to her right away, which was so reassuring. Not only was Emily great with Charlotte but, per our request, she provided updates to us to let us know how she ate, how she transitioned to bed, etc. It was a wonderful night for us because we felt Charlotte was safe and being cared for by a kind and attentive - which enabled us to relax and enjoying catching up with old friends. The next day at the brunch, I recommended your company to all of the girls that live in that area and to those who traveled down from LA and Orange County. Thank you again. We will certainly use your team the next time we travel to California.

Very easy to organize. Martha herself was a wonderful sitter and arrived early for a very early 5am start.
