[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've used hotel-recommended or arranged care services in the states and abroad, all over the place...New York, Texas, Caribbean, North Carolina, Florida, France, etc. etc. City and resort locales, both.

Generally, we stay at higher-end hotels (4-5 star type places) and feel comfortable that the hotel has vetted the services. Some places allow their employees to moonlight as sitters and other places it's professional childcare agencies.

For some of the smaller locations where the sitter wasn't part of a large service, we've talked with the prospective sitter via phone in advance to make sure we got a good gut read from the person.

If the sitter showed up and I didn't feel comfortable when meeting them, I wouldn't hesitate to cancel out. But I've had nothing but good experiences. [/quote]

Wow. I just can't imagine leaving my kid because I spoke with someone on the phone. Are you serious? Where are you going that you can't take your kids? We travel internationally as well and we take our kids everywhere. Why not just hire a nanny? Have a neighbor watch them?

You people treat your kids like you do dogs and act like you are just boarding them. "Ehh they are fine."

Truly unbelievable! [/quote]
