®Destination Sitters' Reviews
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.
I liked that I was called back quickly and that I was given the same sitter for the 4 days. I loved receiving a bio on the sitter in advance. I thought the rate was good. Most importantly though was how wonderful my sitter was. She was early every day and from the first moment my son met her he liked her, which made me feel very comfortable. Melissa continued to make me feel comfortable by returning my texts quickly and just her overall attitude towards my son. If I lived in LA I would have tried to steal her for a permanent babysitter. If I am out there again, I will definitely give destination sitters a call. Thank you.
Sharon looked after our 9-month-old son Loris for us while in San Diego. She was so lovely and reassuring as we hadn't left our son with anyone before, other than family members. Sharon was so easy going and we left out son knowing he would be safe and happy. Sharon left a lovely book for our son as she said he liked it so much, which was so sweet and thoughtful. Sharon was wonderful and we thank her for her services. Thank you!!!
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!
We were going to Los Angeles for my brother's wedding and needed a babysitter for our 9-month-old. We were a little nervous because we had never left her alone with anyone other than family members. When I called Destination Sitters, they answered all of my questions and my husband and I liked that they interview the babysitters which was something none of the other sitter services that our hotel recommended did. We were going to be in LA during what they were calling "Carmagedon." The main highway near our hotel was closed and we could not find anyone to babysit. Destination Sitters said that they would do their best to find someone for us and they did. We got Carrie's resume by e-mail and it was impressive. She arrived at our hotel a few minutes early in her uniform and had a bag of toys for our daughter to play with. Our daughter immediately warmed up to her and we were thrilled. She was friendly, experienced, and most importantly, we trusted her with our most important possession. She knew I was a little nervous and sent me a text message while we were at dinner telling me that our daughter was doing great and was sleeping in her crib. It was so thoughtful of her to do that for us! At the end of the night she gave us a letter telling us everything that she did that night including what my daughter ate, played, how many diapers were changed, and when she went to bed. We had Carrie babysit for 2 nights and she gave us a thank you card at the end of the second night which I saved for my daughter's baby book. We would definitely recommend Destination Sitters to anyone else out there looking for a good babysitting experience.
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:)
