California
I personally needed childcare when I moved to San Diego 11 years ago. Like most parents, I assumed there were standards for temporary childcare; in reality, there are NO state standards or licensing requirements for temporary childcare. The idea for Destination Sitters was born! I wanted to Give Parents Peace of Mind® when traveling with their children, so I created the strictest screening requirements in the industry for our sitters.
