We have used them a few times with great success. The earlier you book, the more choices you will have amongst their staff. Early on when the kids were young, we specified that we'd like a "Grandmother type", and we got it. She was a former pre-school teacher who retired and now sits part time. She brought toys for the kids, books to read, and was really on top of things. We liked her so much that we requested her on subsequent trips.
When the kids were younger and not riding roller coasters, a babysitter was key to allow us to go out, have some drinks, get some dinner, and ride some thrilling rides.
They also provide in the park help, it's the same per hour, but you must pay for the sitters park pass for that day. A one day park pass can get up around $80. We haven't tried this yet.
Recently I considered other sites like sittercity.com or nannies4hire.com and almost hired a nanny who also had a part time job as a cast member at Disney. So her park admission would have been free since she was a cast member. But ultimately the scheduling did not work out.
