Desert Super Sitters

We go to Palm Springs quite often and were looking for a responsible and engaging baby sitter to take care of our 7 month old while we hosted a pool party/​BBQ or if we wanted to go out for dinner with friends. Christina (owner) hooked us up with Marlisa and she’s fabulous! Our daughter also loves Marlisa which is why she gets 5 stars.
It was easy booking through Desert Super Sitters and they send you a bio of the sitter they have matched you with. You can call the sitter and set everything up.
We have used Marlisa twice now. She’s always on time (5 minutes early), very respectful, follows our directions but most of all, is very loving and engaging with our daughter.
I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a sitter in Palm Springs!

Desert Super Sitters was an amazing experience for us. My parents have a home in Palm Desert so we travel there often and this was the first time with our new addition. The service from Christina in the beginning was top notch and we felt very comfortable having our sitter coming to the home. Rawan was assigned to our family for multiple evenings over the 10 days we were in Palm and she was fantastic. She took such great care of our little man and every night she came he was excited to see her and had no issues with us leaving the house. She would send photo and text updates, she was so professional and reliable and I know our son William had a very special time with her. It was great to be able to have some adult time for us and it just made our trip. We will defiantly be back in touch next time we are there.
Thank You Rawan

Great recommendation from La Quinta Resort. Jessica was personable, fun with our kiddos & reliable & we look forward to using this babysitting service on more trips!

We had such a great experience with Desert super sitters! We came for a wedding and prior to our travels, we were referred by Ace hotel. Christina matched us up with Jessica for our 4.5 year old twins. I thought it was great that Christina arranged for the right sitter for their age group.
Knowing that we had never had an outside service take care of our kids while on travel, we were nervous as any parents would be. I was put at ease by Christina and additionally loved that Jessica our sitter and I could communicate prior to our travels. Jessica stayed in contact with us through the night and kept the kids engaged with games and art stuff.
Thanks Desert Super Sitters and Jessica! We will definitely spread the word to others as well as call you again if we return and need u:)

I owe Christina and her team a long overdue 5-​star review. My parents have a condo in Palm Desert and we spend several weekends a year there. Any time we need a sitter, we call Desert Super Sitters. We have never been disappointed and we now recommend them to all our friends when they need a sitter. The sitters are always on-​time and very prepared with activities that are age appropriate — and the sitter is always been the right fit for our children (due to Christina’s screening process). Many thanks to Christina and her team!

Desert Supersitters has been providing baby sitting services to us since our little one was three months old. He is now over two. I have been so impressed by their professionalism in finding the right fit for each family. We actually had the same sitter for every trip to the desert for 2 years until she retired. We had a super experience just recently with a new sitter from them. I liked that they sent the same gal for both times we needed a sitter as our child felt more comfortable knowing the gal. I would highly recommend them! Both sitters showed up with all sorts of toys and games which were age appropriate which was a surprise and a nice one for us and our little one. Amazing folks!!!

Everything was great! Ms Louisa was very patient with my son. This was his first time being watched by someone (after school) other than close family. While it was rough to begin with, he ended up hitting it off with her, knew her name when I got home a few hours later, and even gave her a hug when she left! Very happy and will definitely be booking with them again.

Very impressed with this service. Highly recommend. Christina is extremely professional and matched our family up with a fantastic sitter!

This was our second time using Desert Super Sitters and as with the first time our experience was top notch. Cristina the owner communicated clearly with me and made sure to understand my needs before selecting our sitter (three kids under 4 — one infant). She selected one of her «super moms» to come knowing I was hesitant to leave one sitter with three kids aged 4, 20 months and 9 months. I was not disappointed.
Jessica our sitter showed up early, asked all the right questions and within moments had my son (who previously that day wouldn’t even let his dad near him — just mamma) sitting in her lap reading with him. She played games with the older child and sent us several text updates throughout the evening to make sure we were comfortable and knew the kids were doing well. She herself was mom to FIVE kids and had many years of experience in a pre-​school.
We will use Desert Super Sitters on our next visit — five stars all around!

We used Desert Super Sitters and Susie Tejada this past week on two different evenings so that we could attend wedding festivities for my brother. My kids are 1.5 and 3.5. The office was very professional and helpful, and Susie called days before to introduce herself. When she came to babysit, she brought toys and books and immediately put my kids (and me!) at ease. She sent texts updating us throughout the night so that we could have fun and not worry. My toddler was telling us all about Ms Susie the next day, and was happy she was coming back again for a second night. That second night, my cousin also hired a «Super Sitter» for her infant, and was likewise pleased with the care and follow-​up she received. I would highly recommend this service, and we will be calling them again next time we are in town.

This company really has it all.
Awesome customer service and easy to use
The sitter are excellent and dependable
We love Christina the owner and will always recommend her services

We were in from out of state for my brother’s wedding and used Super Sitters for two nights. Danielle was great with our young children. Communication with her and with Christine was easy. Though we paid far more than we typically do for a sitter, it was worth it for the peace of mind in a place where we had no frame of reference for reliable childcare.

We used desert super sitters this past weekend for two separate occasions. There were a total of 13 children one night and we were sent 3 sitters and they were amazing and prepared with bins of different things for the kids to do. They listened to our directions and concerns. All the children were asleep when we got home. The second time there were 9 children and we had 2 sitters. Two of the same that were with them the previous night. Marilyn (I think was her name) was awesome and made me feel comfortable leaving my son. I would definitely use then again and recommend them

Had an amazing experience last week and could not be happier with the level of attention and service. This was the first time we’d used a service while on vacation, so we were very worried, but had no reason to be!
We stayed at the Parker and booked two nights for our 20 and 3 months old kiddos. I requested the same sitter for both nights as I wanted continuity and it was no problem. Christina made sure that I had a fellow mom as a sitter since my kids were so young, and Danielle was fantastic! She arrived on-​time with a roll suitcase full of age-​appropriate toys for my toddler daughter. She asked all the right questions and seemed at ease with both kids immediately. And while there were a few tears once we left for our on-​site massages and dinner, she texted a happy photo of our daughter which put both of us at ease. Totally worth it!

We had a great experience with agency the two times we used it. Once in April 2013 and once over Thanksgiving break, later that year. Both times we came down to stay with friends and decided to get an evening out, adults only.
We had different sitters, but both were lovely. The first time my daughter was already asleep and they didn’t meet, but Susie was nice to keep me posted that my girl was still asleep. The second sitter, showed up at the house with lots of toys that my girl was so excited to play with. She didn’t even give us a look as we were walking out the house. We also got texts from her letting us know how the night was going and when she went to asleep. I’d use again for sure and would recommend.

I booked with them weeks ago. I called and confirmed twice. I called tonight to confirm our New Year’s Eve reservation, and they didn’t have anything for us at all. Christina proceeded to hint that I should have called sooner.
We drove from San Francisco yesterday, and had our baby in the ER last night (not that I need a reason!).
She essentially said she was running an event and couldn’t help me. She had the low-​class to add that we were only «one unhappy parents out of thousands».
What a disgusting individual and company to talk to me that way (albeit I was angry… Understandably!). I beg you not to use these people. They are unprofessional, and don’t do ANYTHING they say they will (never sent bios, never sent final sitter info). They knew we were driving long distance, and I’m just livid at this five cent operation.

I came here last weekend for an office holiday party and this place was recommend by my Company for baby sitting services. To be honest, I was a bit scared as I have never left my baby alone with a stranger but since the party was a minute from my hotel room, I felt ok with the idea of getting a sitter.
Nancy was assigned to me and she called me a week before my reservation date. She texted me throughout the night and I felt really happy when she texted to let me know my daughter fell asleep (it allowed me to hit the dance floor at the party then!).
Nancy came with a bag full of toys and she was very comfortable with my dogs who in the room as well. I loved that she updated me through out the night with text messages. Overall, I will definitely recommend Desert Super Sitters… if Nancy was based in LA, I would hire her as full time!

I found Desert Super sitters through La Quinta Resort. Susie was assigned to sit for our 9 month son… She contacted me days prior and was able to discuss details which made me feel at ease. Small world turns out her husband was from our hometown! Susie arrived on time with toys and quickly engaged with Brady… she updated me with texts throughout the evening. Everything went smoothly. We booked her the next night! When she arrived the second night– our son quickly smiled upon seeing her! What a great experience– thank you!

We used Desert Super Sitters while visiting the Indian Wells tennis tournament for a week in March 2013, and were extremely pleased. Christina, the owner, was very professional; asked lots of questions about our children several months in advance to make sure that she put us with a compatible sitter; and was responsive and easy to work with.
Our sitter, Gabrielle, was fantastic. Both our girls loved her, and she was super sweet and flexible. We felt very comfortable leaving our girls with her, and she was quick to text us to let us know how they were doing while we were gone. She was always on time and she was great at communicating.
In terms of price, personally, I think the sitter rates are very reasonable. Do you really want the cheapest person you can find watching your kids? Or do you want a well educated professional who is going to need to make more than minimum wage? We felt that the whole setup, background checks and quality of child care was well worth it — not to mention someone willing to travel to our rental house.
Great experience — will definitely use them again!

I called Desert Super Sitters on a Thursday evening while staying at the Parker hotel in Palm Springs. Christina answered the phone and was very helpful. She was having a family outing and stepped away to answer my questions and arrange for a sitter. Within an hour she had arranged for a babysitter for my son for Friday and Saturday night. Once it is setup, you communicate directly with the sitter, which is really helpful (so much easier than having to communicate via an agency). Alexis was our babysitter both nights and was great. She came with movies, arts & crafts, books and toys. She had babysat at the Parker before, so she was familiar with everything and said she could call the front desk if she needed to get a dvd player in the room.
She fed my 3 year old son, made masks with him, watched a movie and did his nighttime routine without a problem. She texted me the entire time with updates which I found reassuring. She also picked up dinner for our son on the way to the hotel (I ordered from a nearby restaurant because our hotel didn’t have any kids items for dinner). She was very flexible on timing, which was great. We texted during the day to set the exact time and schedule.
The rate for one child is $ 15/​hr with a 4 hour minimum plus a $ 5 travel fee– so it’s $ 65 for a four hour evening and it was well worth it for us to go out and enjoy dinner downtown without a worry.
I liked working with Desert Super Sitters because everything happened so quickly– and I had direct communication with our sitter right away. I’d recommend this service and will use it next time.
