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.

Todd was spectacular. My boys loved him. He was fun, responsible and courteous.

Our sitter was awesome! We have had the same sitter twice when visiting the San Diego area. Ali was professional, competent, and the kids had a great time! She brought many games and was very attentive. We will definitely use Destination Sitters in the future.

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!!!

Brisa was fantastic! We were coming in for a Run Disney Race at Disneyland and she went above and beyond to make sure she was there in time for us to make it to the race. It was also great to know that the kids were in good hands while we were out doing the races. If we come back to the Anaheim area again, we will be calling and asking for Brisa again!

We thought Heather was very friendly, trustworthy and responsible. Our son said she she was the "best babysitter ever!"
