Sittercity

I was removed from sitter city for apparently no reason I worked for this lady for four months and she decided one day after four months not to pay me that is not cool. She contacted Cedar city and had me removed when I contacted Cedar city and I told them that she didn't pay me, and that she was bipolar. She was taking anti-depressants sitter city did nothing about it but meanwhile, this lady looked for a babysitter, every three months I'm a hard-working, trustworthy person. Why am I getting this treatment?sitter city just doesn't care, they do not deserve any stars, but there's no option for

You get no responses unless they are scammers. I had someone, obviously from another country, trying to scam me by asking for my bank information. Came up with this ridiculous story. You'd have to be an idiot to believe it but I guess people actually do. It doesn't say when the ad was posted so you don't know if you're applying to jobs from ten years ago or two days ago. Just a horrible experience.

I have never had so many parents be so unprofessional on any site or agency I have ever worked for-people scheduling phone interviews or in person and just not showing with no message to cancel. Maybe its the anonymity of the whole site that makes parents think this is ok behavior, but its just plain rude. If you no longer need someone or have to reschedule-just email. Send a text. Call.

I've been using Sittercity to find jobs for over 15 years. I have never received a bad review until a few weeks ago. I took a job with a lady whose father was in the hospital and needed me to come and watch her son for three hours in the morning. Upon arriving, the mother runs out the door before I even get a chance to look around at my surroundings. When I finally did, there were bugs everywhere. Cockroaches, of all sizes crawling up the walls all over the floor. There was trash all over the house. It had a horrible smell and they were cans of bedbug spray on the counter. I text the mom told her I wasn't feeling well. In hopes that she would hurry home. And I made sure that I periodically checked on the sleeping child. When she arrived, I ran to my car, hoping to never see or hear from her again. I didn't even care if she paid me. I just wanted out of there. Unfortunately she reached out to me for more work. I'm guessing she got angry because I didn't respond fast enough and left me a terrible review. The nerve of her. I could have reported her. There were literal bugs, crawling above the little boys bed. But against my better judgment, I decided to leave the situation in the past because maybe she was going through a hard time with her father being ill. Biggest regret. When I called customer service. They said there's nothing they can do once a review is posted by the parent only the parent can remove it. Even if it's untrue. What an awful policy. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Hi I'm a nanny I'm sitter city and I'm writing this rewind so all of the sitters and nanny are aware of this person name Shanna Thomas she lives in Libertyville Illinois she hired me as a nanny and I worked for her almost a month but unfortunately I couldn't worked for her anymore and I let her know that and I asked her to pay me which she never did at the beginning of the job she was good with me but it's sad that she never pay know knowing I have kids to support.

No job.
Deceived, conned, prompted into background check w a promise for refund.
Then no refund.
Ridiculous, cheap, deceptive, manipulative.

Do you see all these BAD reviews? ALL of these people cannot be wrong. This service is not good for the person providing the service nor for the person who is trying to receive a service. Just a hot mess of a scam. These reviews have warned you; wish I had seen them before WASTING my time PAYING $.

Customer Service, Specifically Jessica G, is no help. Take note of alllllll these reviews of sitters who have done an amazing job and got bamboozled by SitterCity. Silly that a background check is a more important way to authenticate a person rather than an ID, social card, or 5 star reviews. Such stressful customer service and situations. 10/10 would not recommend

The platform takes basically zero responsibilities for quality of sitters and/or background checks. You pay for a year-long membership but may only be on the platform for a week. No refunds either. Buyer beware!

There's no refund and you can't run a background check. With the membership you get the ability to post a job and message applicants. That's it. You can do that for free on a lot of other sites!

This site is very expensive and every "applicant" didn't even reach out to me themselves. There must be some algorithm that sends someone every week to make you think that you're getting interest because for weeks I would reach out to these "applicants" and would never hear back. I'd also get applicants from 100 miles away which is obviously not a viable option for a regular babysitter. Care.com is a much more reliable site and service. This one seems like a complete hoax. Also cancelling your subscription is extremely difficult to do through their website. For starters, they require you to log in from a desktop to begin the cancelation process. Thankfully I have an iPhone and was able to cancel it through settings/subscriptions. Don't get this app

I am a extremely experienced and qualified nanny/babysitter who has always received stellar reviews and recommendations from the families I have worked for. I ran a background check through sittercity and was banned from the site due to a minor traffic violation I received SEVEN years ago. Absolutely ridiculous. No wonder families have trouble finding good applicants. Luckily the families I had been in communication with before I was banned thought this was ridiculous as well and are still hiring me.

I am a very qualified babysitter, I have been working with children for over 7 years, was a camp counselor, girl scout leader, and now I am an EMT the specializes in Pediatrics and Neonatal care. The ID verification link they sent me would not open, I then emailed them and they said it was the end of their business hours and they would send me a link the next business day. I then got an email with the options of paying for a package to check my ID, for over $30. I decline and decide to wait for them to send me the new link. The next day roles around and they have blocked me from being able to work for the site. I then email customer service again asking what the issue is, and Adrienne S. Says, " Nothing Further, Solving out". They are horribly unprofessional, and lazy. I will take my skill and experience to a company that knows how to communicate.

Omg this sittercity is pure pure scam.
Just this past weekend we were looking for a date night babysitter, I paid $39 dollars so I could get messages and respond to babysitters. One of them,"Kim" asked us if we could drop our child to her home because she didn't want to drive 15mins to our home. My husband and I had to cancel our date night plans. I tried calling the next business day(Monday) and no one answered. So I emailed them requesting for my refund and Adrienne replied and said NO REFUND because I signed up for premium, like how did this happen because anything premium is very visible and most of the time you see it and just choose what's best for you and not premium because in most cases and anywhere, it's more money.
No parent should waste their time with this place, they don't even have a website, such scams.

Pay your sitters more if you want better quality workers, they take over your job as a parent. Your ad is belittling babysitters.

Pure scam and filled with so called Nannies/babysitter who are not really looking for work! They post their schedule with ridiculous hours! You reach out to interview after they respond to your listing, then you hear nothing back. Canceling my subscription asap! Care.com is just as bad!

Go somewhere else do not even try this place! Worker or looking for someone it's ridiculous aggravating to even try to get things done on here! Do yourself a favor and go to another place.

Sittercity Is an excellent side to find good people to take care of your kids and keep them safe. Pay good and you will find safe and excellent people that you can trust your children with. 5 years 5 star reviews kids and parents love me. Tiring but rewarding career.
