This was my first time with a sitter service and I can't say enough of how great it was. We had Peggy both nights and she was just a dream - one of the best sitters we've ever had. We felt 100% at ease and fully trusting. That says a lot. I could tell that my son (14mo) was excited to see her the second night because he was smiling, very happy when she walked in, and had his mouth open in excitement looking at the suitcase of toys he remembered from the day before. Peggy was put together, professional, super sweet, you could tell she loves kids, and she cared more about his needs than her own which was just so sweet. She was more genuinely excited to play with him than most babysitters I've had over at home. I wish she lived in my area because I would use her ALL THE TIME. So glad we booked! read more

We required a sitter for a much needed dinner night out. We requested our O.G. Elisa and she was available. Her demeanor, experience and preparedness had us comfortable from the start. My wife communicated via text and everything went smooth as silk. When we came back home there were many crafts and the kids were dressed for bed. They were happy & energized as well. Elisa is our ace in the hole from now on. read more

Thank you Vicki at Celebrity Sitters and our sitter (Irma, as cool as any real life celebrity!) for helping us out while we were in the desert for a night out. Things could not have run more smooth. It was especially a nice treat because we had just been burned (twice!) by a sitting service in Orange County. There was no fancy website and long forms to fill out but this agency is licensed and bonded and Vicki and the sitter were extremely prompt and professional with their communication. Irma, like no other sitter we have used, showed up with a suitcase of toys for my boys to play with. Needless to say, we didn't go through crying/screaming separation which would have happened, I'm pretty sure, without the goodies. When traveling from out of town, it was so comforting having such a trustworthy sitter and service. Coming from an Yelp Elite-er, I give them a solid 5 stars!! read more

We have booked sitters through Celebrity Sitters for years. Always a great experience! Today Irma Alvarado came to watch my 2 boys and niece and nephew. She brought so many toys, games and crafts and they were a hit!! The kids made so many fun crafts and said Irma was the BEST babysitter ever!!! read more

We used Celebrity Sitters for our 9 month old son while we were in Palm Desert for a 4 day conference, and I highly recommend them for your babysitting needs. When calling Celebrity Sitters, Vicky was prompt at communicating with me through both phone calls and email. Also, because my son is only 9 months old, she made sure she reached out to her most experienced sitters that also had CPR/First Aid certifications. She also worked to find someone with availability for all the days I needed babysitting, and that's when she connected me with Veronica! Veronica was an absolute blessing! She already has 4 children of her own, so I felt extremely comfortable with her. She communicated with me beforehand via texting and phone calls, and she was always on time. She also brought a full suitcase full of toys appropriate for a 9 month old, which is great because we flew in and couldn't bring much. Also, while she was babysitting, she sent text updates and photos throughout the day and night, and she would also meet me around the hotel so I could see my son during the conference. She also gave me full reports of how much my son slept and ate each day, which is important to me because we try to keep him on a schedule. By the end of the trip, any time someone knocked on our door, my son would rush over to it and frown if Veronica wasn't there - that's how I knew that he really liked her - he couldn't wait to see her again. :) Thanks Veronica and Celebrity Sitters for making us feel extremely comfortable while we were in Palm Desert, and we will definitely call again next year! read more

First time ever using a babysitting service. Called Celebrity Sitters to request for a sitter while staying at the Renaissance's Hotel in Palm Springs for my 2 and 3 year old children. Veronica showed up with a suitcase full of toys for the kiddos. Was wearing a mask and hung out with them in the hotel room while I attended a work conference for a few hours. She asked for any special request for the children, allergies, or if the kids needed to be put down for bed/nap. Very experienced sitter, calmed my 2 year old who has extreme stranger danger. She sent text messages with updates and photos. 4 four minimum for services and small fee for driving distance. Was able to accommodate for my short notice as well and very reasonable rates. Will use again if in the area with the kids read more

Excellent service. Easy to book and reasonable pricing. Our sitter Veronica was a true professional through and through, and a great communicator before and during babysitting. I had no hesitation leaving my 15-month-old and three-year-old with her. I could tell right away that she was very trustworthy and talented at caring for children, and my kids had a fun night with her. Great experience. I highly recommend. read more

We love Veronica!!! She has given me great piece of mind when I need a sitter for my kids. It's very hard to start fresh with a new area & a new sitter but not with her expertise... She always shows up prepared with crafts, games, etc. which makes it very helpful for my Tweens who are not always excited for a sitter! My only complaint would be that payment is due in cash... Wish they accepted checks or credit cards. Other than that I'm glad our family found Celebrity sitters! read more

Irma & Norma were amazing! They brought toys and games and art supplies both nights they watched our children. I cannot say enough about the love and attention they gave our children. The second night they arrived, all the kids were cheering, "The babysitters are here!" Not only did the kids have a great time, we felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving them with Irma & Norma. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We will definitely be calling you again in the future! read more

Celebrity Sitters - Look at all the art projects we came home to! - Nanny Services Near Me

I had Veronica and highly recommend her! She watched my 9mo daughter both nights that I was in Palm Springs for a wedding, did bedtime routine, texted me photos and updates, and did her evening bottle with no problems! Went very smoothly. $15/hr plus a $5 travel fee for her to get home, super affordable and I got such a good vibe from her. She raised 4 boys and seemed very experienced! read more

Got this referral through Agua Caliente. My wife and I wanted some alone time during a weekend getaway. Saw the Yelp reviews, and called Vicki. Juvy was our sitter, and she was great. We have a four year old and four month old. She arrived 10 minutes before her start time, and our normally, shy with strangers, four year old was immediately chatting with her since she brought some arts and craft and toys (and had an upbeat, positive personality). We left Juvy with our phone numbers, milk and diapers, and general do's/don'ts, and when we got back 4.5 hours later, both kids were asleep. Will definitely use Juvy and Celebrity Sitters again. read more

Had Irma watch our daughter and our dog for an evening when we were at Coachella. This woman is amazing. After showing up with a suitcase full of fun toys for my daughter (22 Months) they immediately became best friends. I can not say enough amazing things. Celebrity sitters is the best! Phil read more

We used Celebrity Sitters to find a babysitter for our 5-year-old and 3-year-old twin daughters. Peggy was our sitter-- a modern-day Mary Poppins who literally arrived each evening with suitcases full of art projects. As a former teacher, she was fantastic at keeping our girls entertained and well-cared for. We could not be more grateful that Peggy was our sitter for each day of our vacation. She really helped make the trip so special for our girls while my husband and I were able to have some time to relax and do things without the kids for a bit. Thank you Peggy and Celebrity Sitters! read more

We have used Celebrity Sitters twice (once last year and once this past week). We called Celebrity Sitters a year ago for our 11-month old daughter. Peggy was incredibly sweet and caring to her. When we came back to Palm Springs again this year, we specifically requested Peggy for our now busy 2-year old. Peggy again was sweet and caring, bringing fun toys that made our daughter warm up to her instantly. When I left my daughter cried, but Peggy started singing nursery songs and she stopped (I had hardly closed the door behind me!). My daughter has woken up these past two mornings asking for Peggy and told me she sang "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep." Makes me smile and confident that she was in good hands. Peggy was also very responsive as we were finalizing times and very prompt. I'm so grateful for her. We will always ask and hope for Peggy when we travel to Palm Springs. read more

Veronica was a hit with both my girls (2 and 5 year old's). She came to the hotel with a suitcase filled with toys and crafts. I appreciated that I was able to get ready (updo/makeup) for the rehearsal dinner and again for the wedding the next day without my kids hanging all over me. They were excited to get to play/craft with her, and with me just steps away...that is a feat in my book! She was kind and professional in our adult interactions, and handled my and my husbands invasive questions without hesitation and full understanding this was our additional "background check". read more

Irma was amazing. We came home to our 9 and 10 year old sleeping and a room full of crafts. They didn't play on their video games or watch a movie. A win-win. read more

We used Celebrity Sitters for 2 nights while on vacation. Veronica came over both nights to our hotel. She was super nice, very hands on, and great with my two kids, which are 5 & 7. She broke guy toys, games and LOTS of fun projects. My kids were super happy! read more

We used Celebrity Sitters for our 2-year-old while we were at a family wedding at the Ace and staying at the Ace. We decided at the last minute to get a sitter and luckily Peggy was available, a 25-year former educator, grandmother-type. She arrived 15min early with a whole bag full of tricks, including CARS for my son to play with. He played with her and she helped him finish his dinner, get into PJs and somehow miraculously got him to go to bed for her, which is pretty much a first. (She sang to him!) She stayed in the room with him, reading with a book light, while he slept and we partied. She was professional and knowledgeable about kids, and gave me a detailed report when I checked in. She followed the few instructions we'd left for her. We would use this service again, definitely, when we visit Palm Springs. It's a bit pricy for if your kid is just sleeping, but all of the people have been background checked and are CPR certified, so it's maybe a better deal than a college student who isn't a pro. ....(I also might be inclined to get a bottom-floor room at the Ace with the outdoor patio; it gives you more options than the second floor room if you're staying for a few days.) Also FYI these sitters are not allowed to administer any medication to your child at all. I think it's a good policy, but might be of interest to anyone timing medications for a kid who needs them. read more

This company is AMAZING. We came to Palm Desert on a little 3 day vacation and wanted a couple nights out alone for dinner so that we could actually have a conversation. Lol. I called this company and communication was top notch from the very beginning. Vicki kept in contact with us and gave us pricing and availability of her sitters. Irma came to our room with a suitcase full of toys and crafts. Our kids (2&4) were not sad to see us leave at all. She has over 25 years as a preschool teacher so she knew exactly what to do when she got here. I'm so glad we found them and I will definitely use them again. read more

We used them for our 10 month old & a 7 year old friend at the Ace hotel. The sitter was a preschool teach for 25 years & brought 2 suitcases full of crafts & toys for the kids. She was magical. I would highly recommend them & certainly plan to use them again. read more

We used celebrity sitters for our 1 year old daughter over 4 days while we stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Rancho Mirage. Veronica was our sitter all 4 days, and we were very happy with her. She brought a big suitcase of toys on the first day that were perfect for our daughter, and by day 2 our daughter was so excited every time she came through the door. Veronica was very responsible - on time, would text me if she had questions, responded to my texts right away, was very flexible with start times, and was very friendly and loving toward our daughter. We would highly recommend this babysitting service and in particular, Veronica. read more

Peggy was wonderful! She brought tons of crafts and we came home to a table full of art projects and two very happy and sleeping kids!

We had Veronica babysit our grandchildren in the hotel suite during a wedding ceremony and she was excellent! She was so accommodating and the golf cart attendant picked her up and the boys. Then she watched them at the venue. It was a great relief to have her there to entertain them. We all had a marvelous time and Veronica made it extra special for all of us. This is the best agency in Palm Springs and they are licensed. read more

We used Celebrity Sitters back in May to book a babysitter for our 3 year old twins, I believe it was Irma? We were staying at the Hyatt Grand Champions. We were a little nervous as we have never used a sitter service before, in a hotel or elsewhere. We had told the kids that we were going out for the evening and that Irma would be coming to stay with them, and they were definitely not thrilled with the idea. My daughter even started to cry when the doorbell rang and my husband and I had some real misgivings. Well, we needn't have worried, Irma was absolutely wonderful. She arrived right on time with an absolutely ENORMOUS suitcase full of toys. Within 90 seconds of her walking in the room, my kids went from sobbing to saying "Bye Mom!" while barely looking up from the suitcase of goodies. When we got back that evening, we found an entire bureau covered in crafts the kids had made with Irma. They had an absolutely wonderful time, and even slept in the next morning! We were just delighted with the whole experience and wanted to send our thanks. Thanks to Irma and to Celebrity for the great service! I definitely recommend them to anyone visiting the area. read more

We used Veronica to watch our 6 month old and she was great! She was on time, very friendly and sent pictures throughout the evening. The little one warmed up to her quickly and was seemingly happy. We have another trip coming up and will definitely be using her again. Would definitely recommend the agency -very professional and helpful. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Celebrity Sitters. We were a little anxious to leave our little daughter (2.5 months old) with a stranger, but both Vicky (the owner) and Veronica (our sitter) helped ease our worries. We used Veronica twice during our stay and she was great! Without us asking, she texted us updates on bottle feedings and napping so we could enjoy our time away from our little one (and quickly check our phones to know all was on track :)). Our daughter was always happy and well rested each time Veronica sat for her. When we return to the desert we plan to request Veronica again. read more

I just used celebrity sitters for the first time. Veronica came to the house to watch my 2 yr old twin boys. My boys had the best day with her. She brought age appropriate toys and bubbles for them to do outside. We will be using this service more often. read more

We stayed at Rancho Las Palmas and needed a sitter for our 20 month old boy. The hotel recommended Celebrity Sitters and I was able to connect with Vicki. It was a GREAT experience. She was responsive and so good with our son. We were traveling with another family and they used one of her employees who was also very nice. She was able to feed our son dinner, read to him and do bedtime routine and still keep him calm when he realized we were leaving him. She is great- highly recommend. ;-) read more

Absolutely amazing. We were spending a few days with our 3-year-old boy at Rancho Las Palmas, and through sheer luck I came across this sitting service and we decided to give it a try. Based on the numerous positive Yelp reviews I specifically requested Irma (also a preschool teacher) and we are SO glad we did!! She arrived a few minutes before her scheduled time, stayed in regular contact with us via text, and from the minute she walked in, our little boy - who is very selective and frequently gets a little emotional when we leave - was immediately engaged with her and at ease. Instead of following us around while we were finishing getting ready, he was immediately sitting down with her and going through the numerous things she brought (a HUGE suitcase, filled with toys and art materials) and when we left he was absolutely fine with it and did not mind one bit! When we returned we walked into a dining table covered from side to side in completed art projects, and he was so excited to tell us about everything they did. Hours after we came back, he even asked if we could call Irma to say "thank you" (which shocked us, he is a good kid but a normal 3 year old generally - the impulse came literally from a genuine sense of him liking her and feeling gratitude towards her and wanting to express it). Suffice it to say, the only thing that makes me sad about Irma is that she does not live in LA, because if she did I would hire her every time in a heartbeat. She is absolutely a caregiver in the most professional sense, with an almost Mary Poppins style personality. Afterwards, my husband asked why we couldn't find a babysitter like this in LA, and in fact Irma has raised the bar so high for me that I will try again. In any event, if you are in Palm Springs, you can relax knowing that there is an absolutely amazing childcare option available you can trust. Thank you Vickie and Irma! read more

We used Celebrity Sitters over Memorial Day weekend for our 3 year old granddaughter and 5 year old grandson. Vicky was great in scheduling the same sitter each night. Peggy was the sitter, and she was a dream! The kids loved her, and like the other reviews, she came with a suitcase of crafts and games. The kids anxiously awaited her arrival each evening to see what surprises she would bring for that nite. She was great to work with and flexible with times. We will definitely use Celebrity and Peggy again! read more

I used this agency because of all the great reviews here on yelp. And I am so glad I did! I asked for Elisa because of all the great things people had to say about her. She was excellent! Came prepared with a huge case full of toys and projects. Asked us all the right questions about the kids. And we kept in constant contact with her throughout the night via text. She was always prompt. Excellent babysitter! Wish this agency was out where we live. read more

I got Irma today. She was beyond amazing. She met us at the Ace Hotel in her swimsuit. My son bonded with her immediately. Within minutes they were in the pool. She brought all sorts of toys and activity stuff. After swimming she took him to play and then took him to the room to paint and make all sorts of crafts! She even gave him a bath!She was so knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to truly relax by the pool knowing that my kid was having so much Fun and being cared for by a great nanny. I will definitely use Irma next time I'm in Palm Springs!!! read more

We used celebrity sitters earlier this week and will be calling again to use them tonight!!Juvy came to our room at the Marriott desert springs villas 2 10 minutes early to introduce herself to my 6year old and 1year old twins.She came withbags of toys and an AWESOME upbeat attitude.Celebrity Sitters and JUVY exceeded all my expectations and are amazing when mommy and daddy need a little break:) read more

Great agency! Loved Peggy. Our 3 YO son loved playing with her and us parents loved her bag of toys and crafts. It was GREAT to have someone so invested in our son. :) read more

Thank you Irma for a job well done! We used Celebrity Sitters for the first time over the weekend. Irma came prepared with a suitcase full of toys and arts and crafts, she also brought her bathing suit and hopped in the pool with our son (he immediately adored her for this). It's always stressful using babysitters with whom you are not familiar, but celebrity took most of the stress out of it. Thanks again! read more

On time, called and texted in advance and showed up with all kinds of toys and crafts. I think our son had more fun without us. We took a weekend getaway to attend an event and needed a sitter for one night. I called celebrity sitters based on a recommendation from the hotel and am so glad that we did. Irma showed up a few minutes early with a suitcase full of fun things to do. Our son had a blast with her and we felt he was in good hands. She texted us with updates throughout the night, it was perfect. I highly recommend! read more

We had Ivy for two nights in a row and were confident our 5 year old was in good hands. Ivy is mature, used to be a teacher, and has been a full time nanny for babies on up. She arrived with puzzles, art projects, and kindergarten readiness worksheets. My daughter proudly showed off the crow and necklace she made the next morning. Ivy definitely wants to spend the time with your child productively and called our daughter a "learning machine" as she worked with her on writing letters and numbers. Ivy texted us both nights to update us which I really appreciated. The fees are reasonable with celebrity sitters. Our friends had Irma who was energetic, capable, and also arrived with a bag of goodies. I recommend celebrity sitters (although they were not great about returning my calls when I was first trying to book them-just keep calling until you get a live person). read more

Hello, We went to Palm Springs over there weekend and used Celebrity Sitters. We got Annabelle as our sitter. She was amazing! Such a kind, gentle young woman and very good with our 3 year old and 1 year old. I will definitely request her again :) read more

We used Celebrity Sitters for our one-year-old this past weekend. We were staying at a small boutique hotel and the sitter came to the room while we went to dinner. Our son slept the whole time, but the sitter arrived on time in uniform, with a bag full of age appropriate activities. She was very sweet and trustworthy and was clearly experienced working with children. We will definitely use this service again next time we are in the desert and encourage others to call them as well. read more

Veronica came to watch our boys while we were in town to attend a birthday party. She was amazing and came totally prepared to entertain them in a small hotel room! One of our sons has Type 1 Diabetes and Veronica was so great with him and kept me abreast of everything I needed to hear/know via text (at my request). Our boys are 6 and 8 and VERY active and they woke up the next morning telling us ALL about how much fun they had with Veronica. High praise!! Thanks, Veronica! We'll be looking you up again the next time we're in town! read more
