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 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.
Yvonne was very helpful in finding the perfect sitter for us. Our son has epilepsy, and she was very reassuring that she could find the right person, with medical training even, to ensure our son got his medications and to ensure we felt comfortable leaving him with a stranger. We typically only leave our two boys with relatives, so this was a leap for us. But our sitter, Sharon, warmed up to our children and our friend's children instantly and all 4 kids really liked her.
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.
I appreciate the professionalism and being able to contact the main office and speak to someone in person at any time. The sitter, Maria, was just incredible. Not only did she show up a little earlier and immediately started caring for the kids (which helped me get ready for my outing), but she completed all my requests better than I expected; she took kiddos outside to the beach and then to nearby park to play. She fed them, gave them baths, etc. best part was that she also responded to my texts and that gave me incredible peace of mind. It was a great experience. We'll be back.
Love the ease of making the reservation. Simple, straight-forward price where it is only an hourly fee. No extra or "hidden" additional costs. Greatly appreciate Yvonne making the reservation with the same sitter (Lauren) for the day where Lauren came in the morning for 4 hours then return to the hotel in the evening for another 4 hours. This really helped my 2year old adjust easily with Lauren. Just wanted to add that Lauren Crites is fantastic! My 2-year old can have stranger anxiety where if I'm not there, she would not want to stay with a sitter. Let me just say, my daughter immediately adjusted with Lauren. There were no tears. I was able to easily leave her in the hands of Lauren without any worry. Lauren is very calm, flexible, easy-going, extremely attentive to my 2 year-old and would even interact/play with my 5year old (he didn't feel left out) while at Camp Pelican. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable. Now I have a reason to return to the area again!
