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! read more

This was the first time someone outside our family was baby sitting our son and I was pretty nervous about it, but the second Michelle walked in that was all gone! She was so kind and professional and my husband and I felt really safe leaving our child with her. On top of that our son really loved her! Michelle brought a huge box of toys for him to play with and even took him swimming in the hotel pool. We have already booked Michelle for our next visit in Palm Springs and are looking forward to seeing her again! read more

We cannot say enough about Christina and her staff at Desert Super Sitters. We had a small destination wedding (40 people) at Spencers' in Palm Springs. Living on the East Coast and planning a wedding 3000 miles away was something we were concerned about. We had several guests who were bringing infants to our wedding and we wanted to accommodate them. But we were concerned that the babies could cause a distraction. So at the recommendation of our wedding planner we sought out Christina and Desert Supper Sitters. We went over our needs and she fulfilled them brilliantly. We needed two baby sitters. One to watch over the infants at the wedding venue and another to be at our guests hotel with a special needs child. She personally came to the wedding venue and was onsite during the ceremony and reception. She was a miracle worker. Having her really made the night for our parents. They were able to have a good time at the wedding knowing their babies were in great hands and could check in on them at anytime. We cannot say enough about Christina and her staff. You cannot go wrong. They are the best in the desert. And we are so glad we got them for our wedding!! read more

We have used Desert Super Sitters for our vacations to Palm Springs for the last 3 years. We are usually a group of 2 or 3 families with kids ranging from infants to second graders. We have always been happy with the sitters that have been provided for us. They have been great with our kids, and if requested, will bring activities for the kids to do (coloring, crafts, puzzles, etc.). Even with very little notice, Christina has been great at organizing sitters for us and following up with any questions we might have. I would highly recommend this service if you are looking for some adult time during your family vacation. read more

History

Established in 2011.

Desert Super Sitters was developed by, Christina Ellwood, who noticed after working for a local agency, a need for educated, professionals who were able to provide the basics of health and safety, as well as as create fun, engaging experiences for children.

Meet the Business Owner: christina e.

Christina Ellwood spends most of her time caring for her husband, Michael Slate, daughter Starr Slate and son Stephen Lee. She began her journey long before her family in 1997 when she was invited by her church to become a preschool teacher for a class of three year old children. In her first year she discovered a natural gift of teaching and a passion for children. Since then she has obtained a degree in Early Care and Education, studied many different educational philosophies throughout Seattle, Washington and California as well as held professional positions including co- directing a local preschool, and owner of Organic Childcare. Along the way she signed up with a local babysitting agency and began providing babysitting services for local hotels. She discovered there was a demand for younger, educated babysitters who could provide the basics of safety and responsibility but also have energy and ideas to create experiences for children.

Working with Kindred Kids was a great experience from start to finish!…read more My wife and I were coming into town for a wedding and needed a sitter for our 1-year old. It was our first time leaving our son alone with a non-family member, so we were pretty nervous, but the team let us choose a few options for the sitter and put us in touch. Everybody was super responsive and worked with us to make us feel comfortable. We even asked for an extra hour on the day of so our little one could get acclimated to the sitter and she was willing to accommodate. The actual experience went off without a hitch, Jolande was great with our son - she played with, fed and bathed him and was able to put him to bed without any fuss. She also helped put us at ease with her calm demeanor and how quickly she was able to win over our little guy. All-in-all, would strongly recommend Kindred Kids to anybody who is looking for a sitter in the desert!

She was very punctual, kept in touch with me while we were gone, and really bonded with our daughter. I was shocked how okay our daughter was about us leaving her, she kept asking for "more Angelica!" Highly recommend Kindred Kids! Thank you, Angelica, for making our time in the desert so amazing and carefree. I honestly cannot thank you enough.

****A MUST READ REVIEW****…read more Before you send your little one to this Preschool take this in to consideration: This Preschool NEVER has enough staff to run this Establishment! Without enough staff the children are having more incidents (ouch reports) and lack proper supervision. The employees are over tasked and left exhausted and overworked (without any appreciation of all the hard work they put in daily to run the school). Surprisingly, all they get is a fines &cites but still remain OPEN despite all the violations (which is all PUBLIC information). Look into the violations and cites prior to enrolling your little one into this place. The teachers are wonderful & tooken advantage of on a daily basis. S/O to Ms. Sophie and many more for all their hard work. It's very true this Preschool's Management does not believe their employees should have their 10 mins breaks and talk real bad about their employees. I seen it first hand as an employee. Employee's are called Unintelligent for not running the business for the the director Ruwan and his mom Chris because neither one of them like to lift a finger to help employees with the children (even though they are short staffed).Chris's behavior in front of the children is unacceptable!! Yelling, pointing and screaming at staff right in front of the children is unacceptable and can be Traumatic for the children to see. A Preschool should not be teaching children these types of toxic behaviors. It's a matter of time when this place gets closed down. I seeked employment elsewhere and found a better Preschool to be apart of. Just wanted to shred some light to this toxic place. The children don't deserve to be in an environment like this. Chris needs to retired and find someone else to run her business because it's obvious her son Ruwan has no clue how to run a Preschool with out stepping on the backs of every one his employees.

I'm very glad they use a classroom model (unlike in-home daycares) so kids can treat "daycare" like "school:. Akira even got enrolled in their optional gymnastics program! It's been a great place to see her grow. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff. Frankly, the staff is the reason I chose First School over the other daycares I considered. My first staff interaction was with Ms. Vanessa - who manages the front desk and enrollment. Ms Vanessa is the one who gave me the tour and introduced me to the teachers who would be working with my daughter. She spent about 20 mins one-on-one with me before I even committed to sending my child to this school. It was a great introduction! All the teachers are wonderful. Ms Jenn, Ms Trina, Ms. Marlene, Ms. Myra - just to name a few. They are calm, kind, and gentle. And - unlike her last school - they don't have a ton of turn over with a new teacher every 2 months. First School has a built a real community and I'm so glad my daughter gets to be a part of it.

We found Desert Super Sitters online and were placed with an absolutely wonderful sitter by the name of Jessica! We spent 5 days in Palm Springs in a vacation home rental with friends and Jessica came to us twice during our stay to care for our 16-month old little girl. She was phenomenal - very kind, gentle, caring, calm and attentive with our daughter and extremely organized, responsive and flexible with us. I was a little bit nervous at first yet Jessica offered to meet me via Skype before we arrived, provide references, and once we met in person I felt immediately comfortable. She is a mother and grandmother and you could feel instantly that she was a natural caregiver. She brought great toys and books along with her and provided regular updates via text message. We always felt in the loop. When Jessica arrived for the second date our little girl was excited to see her again! This was a great success and we would most definitely recommend Desert Super Sitters as well as Jessica! Thank-you so much for making a great stay even better!! Jennifer read more

We were recommended Desert Sitters through La Quinta resort and were so pleased with the quality of care. We were there for a wedding and there was a group of us with toodlers under 2 and babies only a few months old. The sitters were flexible and came to the resort armed with toys suitable for the toodlers and babies ages. We had the sitters over three days and they were on time every day. I personally had Jessica and Rachel and my two year old is still talking about them weeks later. I was nervous leaving my daughter with sitters as we were visiting from New Zealand but as soon as I met Jessica and Rachel I felt immediately at ease. They sent pictures and messages through out the three nights they sat for us. I was able to enjoy the nights and relax that my daughter was in great hands. I would totally recommend them and if we are back in La Quinta I would 100% use the services again. Thanks again :) read more

I recently contacted Desert Super Sitters to find a sitter while I was in the area on business. As a mom this is always stressfull. I was plesantly surprised when I got Christina on the phone. She was very easy to communicate with and put my worries at ease. The next wonderful surprise I got was when a well educated young full of energy sitter showed up at my hotel with a larg bag of toys and age appropriate activities for both my 11 year old and my 3 year old. All I can say is WOW!! They are by far the best choice. read more

As a mom of 3, this was my first time using a babysitter I had never met, and I was a little anxious about it- especially because my 1.5 year old son is very attached to mom and dad. Luisa was so friendly and made me feel comfortable right away about everything. She brought toys he loved, and she was very flexible and walked my son down to the wedding we were attending when we asked her to. It was a good experience, thanks Luisa. :) read more

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. read more
