Who uses what in room baby sitting service??

[DisneyGuy758]

My wife and I are planning on having one evening to ourselves over the course of our trip, and I can't remember the names of the services that were available for in room childcare. We have two sons, one is 7 and the other will be 1 at the time of our trip. Does anyone out there know the names of the services and if they have web sites?


Thanks

Hi,

Fairy Godmothers and Kids Night Out are two that come to mind. More info here:

My wife and I used kids night out to baby sit our 11 month old daughter when we went out to dinner. I think they cost like 10-12 an hour with a minimum guarantee. The lady they came was a retired grandmother who came with some of her own toys. I will gladly use the service on future trips.

We have used Fairy Godmothers 4 times and they are great. We recommend Vivian, she is excellent. Good for you getting out why you are there. Always good to get some Mom and Dad time. Book them soon as they do book up.

Enjoy your night out!

I have never left my dd with any type of babysitting service i.e. someone I don't know even at WDW. I also think that since the kidnapping Madeline McCann I would be even more reluctant. HOwever, if you have made up your mind to do this (and it's your decision afterall) my friend has used Fairy Godmother's and says they are great

We've used Vivian as well. She's terrific.

We've used FG more than a half-dozen times, and wouldn't hestitate to use them again.

I was in WDW last week and used Kids Nite Out. I was there for a work conference and finished at 1pm each day. Husband couldn't come and since I had so much free time decided by get a sitter for the kids in the morning. Kids Nite out was excellent. I was so nervous about leaving my kids with a stranger but after one day no worries. I had kind of wanted the same sitter each day but that did not work out with people's schedule. We had 3 different sitters come. Lindsey came on Monday and Friday. She was a nursing student and wonderful!!!! She brought Candy Land and art supplies. I said it was ok to take them around the grounds at CSR so they went to the playground and arcade. My DD 7 cried when she left. On Tuesday and Wednesday we had Jean. She was an older lady, seemed middle age. She was nice. The kids were fine with her. Nothing special like Lindsey, they did not seem upset to see her go and she did not bring anything to play with that I could see but she was responsible and nice and I was not worried about them with her. On Thursday we had Whitney. She was very nice, too and really played with them. They liked her. She brought some things to play with.

All 3 were promt and I never worried that they were not safe. I would use them again. I will try to get Lindsey next time as the kids really liked her. They are now asking to be left with a sitter. We don't go out much w/out kids and if we leave them MIL comes. They said they did not know a sitter could be so great.

Have fun!
