### 1/5 — Account was deleted

*2026-08-24, version 6.20.0*

They will shut down an account for no reason at all. They claim to have 3 reasons why they would but none of which I followed. I’m not one to write a review but even the live agent I talked to still couldn’t give me a clear answer on why my account was permanently deleted. She was also very rude. I really liked the app at first and am very disappointed…

### 5/5 — Available assistance

*2026-08-23, version 6.20.0*

Convenient and helpful

### 3/5 — Great for a nanny, not great for occasional babysitting

*2026-08-13, version 6.20.0*

I’m a college student and I have been looking into babysitting in my college’s area, and so far I’ve only been able to find one parent. My schedule is very tight as one might expect from a college student so full time nanny positions are just not something I can fit into my schedule. I wish the app could only give me positions that are open with my schedule that I already put into the app. It’s just overall mediocre.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-06, version 6.20.0*

This is a very good app, people are serious here and you can find a good job very easy.

### 5/5 — Save yourself Time & Energy

*2026-08-02, version 6.20.0*

Sittercity is a no brainer for sitters & families. I’d use this over Care.com if I was a Sitter.

### 1/5 — The premium version is very expensive

*2026-07-26, version 6.19.0*

The premium version is very expensive

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-25, version 6.19.0*

Amazing app I’ve been employed for 3+ years because of sitter city!

### 3/5 — Can you PLEASE update

*2026-07-21, version 6.19.0*

your app to hide or remove jobs we are not interested in!? Seems so easy to do. Please. Thank you.

Added-
Also be cool if we didn’t have to redo search filters every three seconds. Wish they could just save.

### 1/5 — Only 3 month purchase options

*2026-07-13, version 6.19.0*

You are not able to connect with sitters until you upgrade to premium. There is no plan shorter than 3 months for nearly $100. 

The quality of sitters was much worse than other apps. Of 14 that applied, only 8 would respond to interviews and of those only 1 actually showed up. The rest no call, no showed. We hired her and she has been disappointing and unreliable. Use urban sitter instead.

### 3/5 — Can you PLEASE update

*2026-07-12, version 6.19.0*

your app to hide or remove jobs we are not interested in!? Seems so easy to do. Please. Thank you.
