Wonderful
Christynna was wonderful, on her first time with us my seven year-old son asked that she stay his sitter from now on. Thank you!
Book with her
She was so amazingly sweet and will communicate with me throughout her visit. I highly recommend her.
Great Sitter
Sophia has great energy, calm and easy with the kids
Dishonest payment practices
The Bambino app is not honest about it’s payment practices—in acting as a middleman, they take money from parents without parents knowing, by making the Babysitters rate appear as one rate for the sitter, but a different rate for the parents. They do NOT make this clear to the parents or sitters upfront—the only way I discovered this was from sitters happening to mention their rates in person. For example, a sitter referenced her Bambino rate as $25/hr, but I was actually paying $29.50/hr to bambino for her! I thought she was getting $29.50, but this was not true—I was apparently, without my knowledge, paying $4.50/hr to Bambino and $25/hr to her. On top of this, the app also charges a ~$5.00 booking fee per booking, which can be waived if you sign up for “premium” ($20/mo). Anyway, the discrepancy between the posted rate that the parent sees and the rate the sitter thinks they’re posting is what I call a shady business practice! The reason I’m giving 2 stars and not just 1 is that I did find some helpful sitters through the app—I just wish I’d been actually paying them what I thought I was paying them!

Jordan is Amazing
Jordan did a great job babysitting. She has a little one herself so she knows just what to do. I highly recommend.
