Flower girl

All sitters are actually interviewed by Hello Sitter which makes me feel so at ease when booking their sitters!

Awful

Cannot delete account or credit card information! This app is a hack waiting to happen!! Sends you spam by default.

Love this app! Great sitters and easy!

Nothing but raves for Hello Sitter. Downloaded and booked an awesome sitter for the next day — literally took two minutes. They have really good customer service too.

Needs a lot of work

There are too many bugs to even make this work. Creating an account through FB doesn’t work and its wonky creative through apple.

The time function doesn’t work for recurring bookings and you can’t message a sitter to “interview” them before booking as you can with other apps. Saw a sitter that looked good, but without the recurring function, won’t know if she is available for the multiple days I need and won’t just hire someone to watch my children without even messaging them first. Too bad. Had potential.

Response from developer

Hi, Word gamer, thank you for your feedback! It is very valuable to us and the user community. Indeed, we have improved the user experience a lot recently, so feel free to check it out and let me know if any of your concerns still apply. As for in-app interview, we don’t have that functionality by design. You can rely on sitter video and feedbacks, keep in mind Everest sitter who was interviewed by professional sitters and nannies. Anything else, feel free to drop a comment here or contact us at support@HelloSitter.com Thank you!

Issues with billing

Has issues with billing

Not good for sitters

No support for sitters and horrible pay. $18 when standard in nyc is $25-39

Great App

Very handy in finding local sitters last minute.

Where have you been all my life 💛

What a fantastic service and super easy for stressed out parents! Game changer.

Extremely impressive

The slickest baby sitter booking experience I have ever encountered. Extremely impressive service. Super easy to book, reasonable fees and very competent sitters. I highly recommend Hello sitter and would definitely use them again. I only wish they were worldwide!

Great app - missing support for iOS dark mode

The service is great, but the app is getting 4 starts and not 5 because lack of support for dark mode (can’t see the fonts)

App broken

Can’t authenticate on FB or with contacts

Just what every parent needs

I have used the app service twice over a one year period. That’s how often I need a baby sitter. The app is easy to use and I love how payment is taken care of via the app. Both sitters have been exactly what I needed.

Unreliable

I tried this service once and the sitter bailed 1 hour before she was supposed to come so our theatre tickets went to waste.

Great sitter app

Easy to use. Provides the right information and shares reviews and videos of sitters.

Selection

It’s so strange that you have to X out the sitters you don’t want instead of just choosing the one you do. Super confusing.

Good application

Best app

Great sitters

So happy with this app I don’t even tell my fellow school moms about it! Really have loved the smart great people who have been pre-screened and feel it is a great value-FYI I always tip my sitters and suggest parents do the same for a job well done.

“Available” sifters never accept the booking!

I recently joined this site and I have as yet to book my first sitter! They give you a list of available sitters but then your “request” to book is never accepted. Also you don’t know for hours if any of the sitters you are trying to book will accept. So much for being able to get help on demand. Why do the sitters show themselves as being available at that time if they do t want to accept bookings! Useless app

Hi 123gator, thank you for your feedback! I understand your confusion. Indeed we try to do our best so the available sitters, and the ones you request, accepted it within minutes and that’s what usually happens, but can be different during peak hours or holidays. We apologize for the situation you faced. Kindly contact us at support@HelloSitter.com, and we will try to do our best to make things right next time. Thank you!

Just tried this

Sign up was easy, instant booking for an emergency last minute sitter. We will see how the experience actually goes.

Very useful but not very reliable

This is super useful when it works, but babysitters often cancel the day of, so it's not something you can depend on.
