Find Child Care: Sittercity

I signed up today and I’ve already gotten 2 people asking for a meeting!! Very fast results. Only short of one star because I haven’t exactly started. Communication is great but if I actually do get the job then I’d gladly change it to a 5 star and confirm the app works! I will say that uploading my photo was a bit of a problem. From my phone the file was too big and I had to use my schools computer to upload it. This app is better than care now as it didn’t require background checks to still look for us poor college students who can’t afford $60 for it. Thanks guys! Saved my pockets this summer! Edit: Just wanted to come back and say yes the app works! I got my first job already within a week!

I have found 2 regular PT jobs via the App. My second regular PT job began as an occasional position and turned into a regular PT job as soon as the 1st job ended. Mom scooped me up before I could apply for another job. I also had an another occasional Nanny position to fill in for a couple who both worked Retail Management jobs when their regular Nanny was unavailable. The only complaint I have is the short length of time that the self-paid background checks. I think 6 months would be more fair. The App could include the date background check was run and allow the hiring family to repeat the background check if they preferred a more recent one.

I decided to use an app for finding babysitters bc we move every two years or less and the search is exhausting. What I like about SitterCity: it will allow reviews to be posted, allows messaging, and the search feature is decent. What is eternally frustrating: very few people have background checks (for a paid service this should be required,) not being able to sort results based on distance, not being able to sort results based on reviews, ***not being able to “favorite” or “save” people*** if I am interested but it’s not a great time to message them or I don’t currently need a sitter. When I’ve created a search I can’t save the search or the results and if I come back to it in a few days often don’t remember which profiles I’ve clicked on and which I haven’t. This app has also crashed on me twice after sending lengthy introductory messages.

I’ve used Sittercity almost from the beginning of it’s website. I’m talking many years back. The site has went above & beyond to make the site safe for both providers & parents who use the site. My advice to anyone using the site, you should always stay within the safety guidelines Sittercity had set in place for it’s users of the site you will not be disappointed in doing so, and please, please report any suspicious or questionable activities you encounter. It’s important for us to work together to keep everyone safe. I enjoy using Sittercity and the families I acquired through Sittercity had been a great experience for me. Sittercity is great about giving feedback & alerts to it’s users about any suspicious activity. I whole heartedly Recommend Sittercity as a great site to both providers & families.

This app is amazing- once you complete your background check, which isn’t required but I highly recommend ($15), you will have as many gigs as you’d like in no time. The day after I created my account I had already gotten 2 regular babysitting jobs at the hourly rate I desired. I started at a perfect time as everyone is looking for a back to school care taker for their children. I really have no recommendations for this app to improve. Although it shows I have never been “booked” even though I’ve already met with and taken care of two different families- i’m not sure how to make it official on the application. thanks sittercity for this awesome app!
