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!

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.

Easy access, even for last minute arrangements. Very professional, friendly, fun sitter. A model customer service; responsive, communicative. Real, humane communication not some tired, careless, just "business" attitude. Wish somebody told me about this service for my prior travels. My best wishes to whole team who make this service available. Thanks.

Kristy was wonderful! Both our girls were happy and had a good time.

We planned to use Destination Sitters to watch our 4-year-old during a conference. As it turned out, due to a medical emergency, we used them much more then anticipated. The sitters were fantastic. After one day, the first thing my daughter asked after waking was when the sitter would arrive. When told at 8:30 am, she said that was way too long to wait! While we planned in advance and reserved time for the conference but unfortunately needed more at the last minute and Yvonne went out of her way to help! I could not say enough positive about the service and the sitters. We will be using them again in the future!!!

I just left this review on Yelp and thought I'd share with you: Our family went on a work/family trip to Anaheim. I spent my days with our two daughters (ages 9 & 7) while my husband was at his conference. At night, the husband and I had many events to attend. We hired Destination Sitters on a recommendation from a co-worker. We were assigned Kathy N. as our sitter and could not have received a better sitter for our girls! She has a nurturing personality, along with an education background. She kept our girls thoroughly entertained by bringing her own games to play with them, her swimsuit to hang out at the pool, and her genuine attitude of caring about children. Never once did we have a doubt the girls were well taken care of, as all they could talk about the next day was how much fun they had with Kathy. If you're traveling and need a sitter, put your mind at ease and go with Destination Sitters!
