Ella was wonderful. She was punctual and respectful. She was a huge help taking my son to and from his after school activities.

Sketchy and very unsafe

First off, there are a lot of sketchy people claiming to be sitters, and a lot who simply don’t read posting, I put in posting you must have reliable transportation to my home, one person didn’t even have transportation, had a boyfriend fresh out of prison and told me she could watch my kids at her house? Because she didn’t like that I had cameras, I’m yeah that’s a red flag! But I found it cheaper and safer to use childcare at my ymca, and they are all background checked, cpr trained. I deleted the app immediately
