Kid's Nite Out

If there were negative stars I would rate them well below negative. very unreliable. don't bother using the online form - they never returned any of our phone calls. on the night before they were supposed to show up they canceled our reservation because they didn't have a sitter. College Nannies is a much better service. Don't waste your time with KNO super unorganized and unresponsive.

Used the service twice in a week for our 6 and 7 year old, we played a round of golf one morning and went to dinner one evening. The sitter came to our resort about 10 minutes early to review important information (contact information, kids needs, preferences, and safety). We were lucky enough to have Rebecca as our sitter, she was professional with us parents, made us feel comfortable, and our kids immediately warmed up to her.

We let Rebecca know she could take the kids to the playground or activities center, and charge lunch and activities to our room. We got back from golf and the kids had made stuffed animals at the activities center (Rebecca texted us pictures during the event). We requested Rebecca for our "date night" dinner, and she played uno, watched. "The Floor is Lava", and took the kids to the s'mores activity (more pictures).

We (our kids) journal about experiences and Rebecca made the top 3 favorite things about our Disney vacation. She "was fun and played Uno pretty good", "Rebecca is cool, she laughed at my jokes", "we played floor is lava". We can't say enough about how great this service is and how it improved the overall vacation for us (4 park days). Thank you Kids Night Out, and thank you Rebecca. When we come back we are booking with you again.

First of all. my kiddos are my world. I do not trust people with them, hardly ever. My husband convinced me to give Kids Nite Out a try after our resort, at Universal, recommended them. Rebecca came promptly at 5pm, equipped with toys, crafts, etc. She was absolutely wonderful. My children adored her. I received frequent updates, along with pictures of my kiddos having so much fun. Thank you for allowing us to have a few hours to enjoy ourselves! We will definitely be clients again in the future and highly recommend to others!

My sitter was 15 late. Called.said she was parking her car had traffic issues. No problem. at 45 minutes we left with our grandson for our dinner reservation and ended up canceling our other plans. VERY disappointed in a service that came highly recommended. Do what you say you are going to do, call if you are lost or can't find.do not keep saying you are in your car coming up. we were gone five minutes and she sends photo of door. 45 minutes is too late.

We used this service for two evenings while on a recent vacation at Disney World. Our sitter was Christin and she was nothing short of amazing! She texted me on the day of our first evening out to introduce herself and say that she was excited to watch our boys that evening. When I met her in the hotel lobby, I told her than my 3 year old sometimes takes a little time to warm up to new people. However, that was NOT the case with Christin.

He immediately ran over to her to introduce himself and asked her if she had any toys for him to play with lol. Of course she had an entire bag full of toys, many of which were his favorites (Paw Patrol. PJ Masks, Disney characters, etc). I've never seen him warm up to someone new so fast. The next morning he was asking if she could come back again.and to his delight, she got to come back once more while on our trip.

He spent the entire day talking about how excited he was to play with her again that night, so of course as soon as she got to our room he went running up to hug her and welcome her back. They played with lots of toys again and even made a sun catcher craft! She even left the boys small notes and a treat bag full of little toys for them to have the next morning when they woke up.

By the way, the boys were sound asleep when we came home each night which was such a blessing. I would 100% use Kids Nite Out (specifically Christin) on any future vacations! What a worry free way for my husband and I to have a few quiet hours to enjoy our vacation!

We had Paula come and sit for our kids for two nights this week. She was prompt and kind. She brought games to play and the kids had a blast. Highly recommend.

We had Rebecca watch our toddler so we could go have a date night during our Disney vacation in December. We were initially a little apprehensive to have someone we had never met babysit but the company came with good reviews and recommendations from other happy families so we decided to give it a shot. The moment we met her we knew she was trustworthy and a natural with young children, she was very friendly and even brought a bunch of toys to entertain our child with. It went so well we booked her for a second evening the same trip!

We had to cancel our evening babysitting reservation because our son tested positive for Covid. They emailed us that they canceled our reservation but still charged us $112 despite our kid being sick. Kids Nite Out's motto should be "Screw you and your sick child!" All kidding aside, avoid during the pandemic.

My husband and I had never used a babysitting service so I was extremely nervous about leaving our 18 month old son alone with someone we had just met in a hotel room but we had a great experience. We needed a sitter two nights so I asked to have the same person. Paula arrived promptly (a little early actually) and I could tell immediately that she would be great.

She was experienced, warm, and helped put us at ease. She followed our instructions and gave us updates throughout the evenings. She seemed to get along really well with our son and he did not fuss with her once we left. I was nervous about someone not showing up because of a couple other reviews so I made sure to follow the confirmation instructions, give them our credit card info, and then reconfirmed a week before. We had no issues!

We recently stayed at WDW and hired two sitters for two families. They arrived on time and made sure we knew they were qualified and able. They even brought crafts and animal balloons for our kids to entertain them. They sent pictures and updates. Could have used a few more updates then received. Everyone was taken care of and the four adults got to go out for a night at EPCOT kids free and it was a blast.

My wife and I haven't had more than a night out in the last year and a half. When we planned a family vacation to Orlando, my wife mentioned Kids' Nite Out and we were both a little hesitant to pull the trigger. Conveniently, we were able to make reservations day of with no trouble. Ms. Christin put our minds at ease immediately, and sent us pictures of our little ones having a blast throughout! She even brought toys since we were away from home! Thank you for you awesome service, and if our future brings us back to the area, you have gained repeat customers!

I had a pretty good experience with this company! The sitter was kind, on time, my children loved her (Rachel). I am happy to say I would use this company again. If I had one complaint it would be that it was hard to get someone on the phone, which is stated on their website. I tried to get a hold of our sitter before she showed up because we were running a little behind getting back from the waterpark and had no idea how to contact her. Luckily she went to the office and had them call me so I could then ask her to wait, she did. I really appreciate the service I received.

Wanted to leave a review for people like me, who are uncertain about hiring a strange company to watch your children on vacation. My husband and I booked KNO for 6 hours tonight so we could enjoy a date night during our week at Disney. There are mixed reviews out there. I spoke with owner Carol far ahead of time and she gave me the name of the girl who was booked.

My issue was that, knowing I was very concerned about who was watching my kids, I sent an email with a room number on the day of the reservation and was told that a totally different person would be arriving- no further info. I did question this and was given some background info. Ms. Brendaliz showed up right on time. She took the kids to play outside in the sand, do crafts and watch a movie at the community center, put them in their jammies, and had them tucked in and sound asleep by 915pm.

She sent pictures while we were out to show us how and what the kids were doing. I was very pleased with her care for my kids and would definitely use them again. I was very upfront and specific about what I wanted/needed when I booked though and I feel like it was definitely worth it for us.

The good: she showed up on time, she stayed the whole time and our kids were still there when we got there. The bad: when we called our daughter on her tablet to FaceTime and see how she was doing, the babysitter was napping. Might be because she was a little older. Around 65 plus in age. We only had her from 6pm-10pm but maybe she has an early bedtime. Idk. Wouldn't be spending my money on them again.

It's not often I leave a negative review (Yelp track record can prove this), but this was such an awful experience that I hope my review can at least help others make the decision to find a sitter elsewhere. I'll sum it up as quickly as possible - this past Tuesday, my child's birthday, the sitter didn't show up. We called and called until someone finally answered.

They marked our reservation on the wrong day and zero apology or remedy. We had to cancel my child's birthday plans due to no one coming to watch our other child as planned. I explained this situation and how disappointed we were and all we received was attitude, as if we did something wrong. I made the biggest mistake by keeping our next scheduled reservation, which was today.

Our sitter was sweet, but she spent the first 30min of our 4 hour scheduled time engaging in conversation. I had to make an effort just to leave. During her babysitting hours, the owners ran our credit card and it was declined - after seeing 4 missed phone calls, I immediately told them that we have high security on our card and we will call the CC company to have it approved (mind you we are staying at Grand Floridian so we have the funds).

They then proceeded to call and harass our babysitter about this. When I got back in to the room we still had one hour left but then the babysitter was practically harassing me to call the company to have this paid. Needless to say, we barely had any "down time" or any usage of the actual babysitting hours. My husband called and had the bill paid all during this (during our babysitter being on call with us).

The sitter was literally following me in the bathroom until this was done. It was just all around a horrific experience. Please, please, please don't waste your money or time - instead look in to the other babysitting options in the area.

I wish I could give it negative stars. I had planned a spa day at Saratoga Springs for myself and my wife so we needed a babysitter for a few hours. I had called and booked Kid's Nite Out two months before our trip and the lady on the phone had said I was good to go, and all I had needed to do was call them the day we checked into the hotel to let them know what our room number was.

The day we checked in I called them and they said they didn't have a babysitter confirmed because they didn't have my credit card information. When I told the lady that I had booked two months ago and the person on the phone had taken everything down, she apologized and said there was nothing in the system. So I told them they had three days to find a sitter for us and she said they'll keep looking for one.

The day came and I called them back and they said they had no one for me, but they would keep looking. The time came and went and I had to cancel my spa appointment so I could watch our daughter while my wife went to her treatment. 1. They need to train their people better. If the first person I talked to had done their job correctly I wouldn't have had to make changes to my plans. 2. If my reservation was "unconfirmed", why wouldn't they call to ask if I still wanted the reservation, a few days before the time? Do they not want the money?

When booking our Walt Disney World Trip, we knew we wanted to get a babysitter to go out on my birthday. Looking through Disney's website I saw that Kid's Night Out was the recommended service. I am so glad we booked though them. The sitter, Karen, showed up on time directly to our room at the Wilderness Lodge. The first thing she did was engage our two year old son with a ball and some toys which won him over.

She thoroughly went through everything and we were off on our night our. Throughout the course of the night she texted us videos and updates and kept telling us what a sweet boy he was. She got him to bed no problem and he had a nice night sleep that night. She even let him keep a helicopter toy she had brought because he likes it so much. Karen was great and we would request her again.

Our son asked about her the next day and from what we could get out of him (he is only 2). He really liked her as well and had fun. I recommend Kids Night Out and suggest all parents take. A night off when visiting the happiest place on Earth for a magical date night!

We absolutely loved this service. Kelly was fantastic and watched our sons ages 3 and 1 for two nights on our Disney Vacation. My oldest is usually a bit fearful of being left with a babysitter but warmed up immediately and loved all the toys she brought with her. She was a joy and we will absolutely be requesting her again when we return to Disney World. Thank you, Kelly!

I WISH I COULD LEAVE LESS THAN ONE STAR :/ This was an Absolute H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E experience. I booked our "reservation" a few weeks ago for a conference that my husband and I are attending in Orlando. 2 days before we are scheduled to arrive, I get a super casual phone message stating that there is no one to watch our 16 mo old toddler but not to worry bc I was going to be put on a waiting list and that I was first on the list. WT literal F?

After me going off on one on the poor staff member, I obviously ask to speak to the owner/manager who is conveniently not there and supposedly won't be back until the next afternoon. LUCKILY the sweet girl staff member (who has a tough job bc this apparently happens quite frequently) gave me a recommendation at my request for another babysitting company who seem to be super awesome and competent.

They even had the sitter call me and chat w/me until I was able to ask all of my questions. So if you are looking for a great babysitting company who isn't going to drop the ball in the last few minutes, call Sunshine Babysitting. The owner, Cheryl actually answers the phone herself. Everything happens for a reason and I'm so grateful that I didn't leave my kid w/Kids Nite Out. Who knows what would have happened.

Great service providers! We were in Orlando and used them twice- both times the babysitters were a few minutes early arriving with plenty of toys and activities for the kids! Our kids were well cared for and we are very appreciative!

Have to agree with the other reviews. We stayed at the Four Seasons and used the service twice for our 16 month old. Both sitters were reliable, adult and professional women. Both did an amazing job and sent us texts and pics through the evening as we were worried about leaving our little one with a stranger. However, the price is high and they added a premium for the holiday.

This would all be OK, IF they paid the sitters fairly. We learned they earn minimum wage, yet we were charged $24/hr plus travel and fees with a 4 hr minimum. The sitters practically begged for a cash tip. Understand it is a business and they have to be responsible - but PAY YOUR WONDERFUL SITTERS A FAIR WAGE!

We were so nervous to have someone come watch our six month old baby, but desperately needed a night out just the two of us. Joy was so great! She instantly made me feel at ease, and I could tell right away how nurturing and kind she was. She texted us with updates per our request, and when we got back to our room our little guy was sound asleep!

I was really disappointed with this service. I made 2 requests; please do not send an old sitter (I requested between 25-35) and please have them call me the day before. I did not receive a call as requested and the sitter was at least 65 (we obviously couldn't ask her age but she was a grandmother and looked very old). When I called the company back to complain they told me that they have a note that the sitter tried to call me the day before but even the sitter admits she didn't.

They also said they would follow up with me about it after that night. It's now 3 days later and I have not heard from anyone. My daughter was really upset when we left for dinner and it really put a damper on our one night out in our vacation. I would try a different service, personally.

Just wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how happy we were with our baby sitter last night. Kelly came to babysit my two kids Saoirse (4) and Michael (3) at the Walt Disney World Dolphin resort. She hit it off with the two of them almost instantly and they both loved her. They have been asking about her all day today. It was great to be able to leave them with someone that my wife and I felt comfortable. We will 100% use the service again on our next trip to Orlando. Thank you so much for the service. 5 Stars for Kelly :-)

We stayed at a Disney hotel and clicked through the in-room childcare link on the hotel website to find Kid's Nite Out. I would definitely recommend this service and use them again on our next visit. Here's my experience: First, I was hesitant to leave my one-year-old with just anyone. But from the moment I spoke to Heather in reservations, my mind was at ease.

I called the day before our night out, talked through all of the policies and logistics, felt reassured, and reserved a sitter. I did request a "mature" sitter while on the phone - a "motherly" type. When our sitter arrived, I could tell that she was conscientious. she came to the hotel lobby a few minutes early just to be sure she was on time. She arrived with a bag of toys, and immediately asked about my son and any special concerns she should know about.

She told me a bit about her experience working with children. We reviewed the evening, his schedule, and what to expect. She engaged with him and started playing while I finished getting ready. I felt very comfortable with her! When we arrived back to the hotel, our son was sound asleep in his pack n play, and his toys had been neatly put away. He had been played with, fed and changed, and put to bed on time.

The sitter left us a personal note with details of the evening. The paperwork & payment process was easy and seamless. And we really liked our sitter Evelyn. As mentioned above, I'd call upon this service again the next time we are in town!
