Parent Reviews

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.

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.

What a great resource Destination Sitters' provides, for parents like me who want the peace of mind of leaving the kids with a safe and responsible young adult, who is also so much fun that the kids are happy to go with them. It gave me a few hours to enjoy the La Costa resort in ways that I couldn't do with the kids. They said their sitter was "awesome." I felt confidence to leave them with him, and I got the rejuvenation I wanted from a few hours at the spa! I will definitely be calling you again!

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!

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

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 :)
