Wow. I would do anything to have a sitter like Martha at home. She was beyond qualified, the kids absolutely loved her (which made it easy for us to be away, knowing they were so happy). She was kind and gentle and so loving to the kids. And so knowledgeable. It was such a comfort having her there!

I want to thank you for the chance to have an adult evening out on our trip. Rebecca was wonderful! A lot of people can be overwhelmed by our triplet boys- but she seemed comfortable right away. And our boys were at ease with her immediately as well. They all had a good night! You are lucky to have Rebecca. Please give her our kindest regards.

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.

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.

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:)
