Around the Clock Sitters

I recently traveled to Disneyland with my husband and 2 kids. (3 and 4 year old). I had specific functions that I had to attend with my husband and was really nervous about hiring someone to watch our children. Our boys are not used to being watched by people that are not close family members. Also, my 3 year old is in full swing of terrible 3s, and can be a lot to handle with full on temper tantrums. Thanks to Unilocal reviews I decided that my children are likely to be well taken care of.
Sharon Antongiovanni was the sitter that the company put us in touch with. She is fantastic for multiple reasons. She is very mellow and relaxed, when my son started doing his «monster» sounds it didn’t even get a response. :) We hired her on multiple occasions, changed the timing few times and came back later than expected last night. She was professional, right on time and was willing to be flexible. She took both boys out to dinner twice, shopping to the toy store and even took them to California Adventure! I will be honest, even as their parent I would only take these trips with my husband as back up.
Everything went perfectly well. She sent us an update on the boys with pictures attached, told us how much they ate and what, what they did and how everything went. My kids wanted her to stay «forever». I would absolutely recommend her to any friend or family member (and Unilocalers). Thank you for making this go so smoothly where I was actually able to enjoy the events I attended.

We went to Disneyland for our honeymoon. The only hitch was that we were going to need in room sitting service for our special needs adult son, so we could go out at night and enjoy the parks, restaurants, and adult fun that both parks and Downtown Disney have to offer. I called Disneyland Hotel and while they would not give a reference, they were willing to give me a list of companies that might help us. After zero success with a couple of the companies, I called All Around the Clock. Mostly because they had the right area code and the other companies didn’t. What happened was I started working with a very competent booker, who let me know she has been in business over 20 years. She gave Sharon Antongiovanni our name and number so we could set up our dates with her 6 months in advance. We wanted to go out every night until 11PM. No problem. And as time passed and I got a little nervous about the whole thing being too good to be true, Sharon assured me that our evenings were set.
Next came meeting Sharon. She’s a very sweet lady who is willing to help in anyway you need help. We needed someone to be in the room while our son slept in an adjacent room. We put some thought into this and booked a suite. It worked out perfectly. Sharon arrived on time every night, we had a fantastic time that couldn’t have happened otherwise and our son was looked after by a professional.
When we go back we’ll be using Around the Clock Sitters again. And I’m asking for Sharon specifically!

We used Around the Clock Sitters during our recent trip to Disneyland while staying at the Disneyland Hotel for our two toddlers. Prices were reasonable and our sitter Sharon was great! We called the day before we needed a sitter and they had us covered. Sharon was great with the kids and even took them for a walk in the stroller around the hotel after they napped. Would definitly use this company again and recommend to others.

I used Around the Clock during a trip to Disneyland last month (February 2013). It was no problem getting someone to come to our room to watch our two year old at dinner time, even though it was fairly last minute. The sitter, Gigi, was great. She brought toys and they had so much fun my daughter didn’t want her to leave. Gigi was even sweet enough to lend me her purse when I realized I had forgotten mine. I would absolutely use this service, and Gigi, again.

We used their service while we were in Disneyland in February. Just for 8 hours while we could go to Carsland with our older son we just wanted to have somebody watch our 2 year old in our hotel. And we had Gigi. I have nothing but good thing to say about her. The thing that I liked about this agency was first of all the average Ge of their sitters are older and Gigi was amazing. She brought toys for my son to play with, she took him out to walk in a hotel and also took him to lunch at Story tellers café in our hotel and he had a blast! And she checked in with me every so often so that I knew he was doing well. I would definitely choose this agency again and hopefully we can get her again too.

I’ve used this babysitting agency twice during stays at Disneyland (once in January 2011 and once in December 2011). I was able to call a few days in advance and get a sitter with no problem on a weekend evenings both times at my hotel. They know all the area hotels well and are able to navigate parking restrictions and such, which saved logistics for me. Rates were reasonable for a major metropolitan area.
As luck would have it, we actually got the same sitter both visits, which was comforting to a picky toddler! It was nice to have the peace of mind that all their sitters are Trustline-​checked. Would definitely use them again when we are back in the Southern California area.
