She just made our life so easy by taking the last min booking! She did craft and played. She’s so kind and the kids loved her! Highly recommend and will definitely book again!! ### 1/5 — They don’t reply *2026-01-02, version 3.0.66* I have verified my WWCC as asked for - even though I think it is a bit of a rip off to pay to get it verified. Now on the app, it is still saying my WWCC is pending being verified even though this was done days ago. I’m yet to receive any response from the company, even emailing and contacting their instagram account multiple times. Looking at their instagram I can see they only promote female babysitters so there could be a hint of discrimination about not being given a response ### 5/5 — Great business! *2025-12-08, version 3.0.66* Easy and stress free way to find in home support worker. ### 5/5 — Great App for Busy Parents *2025-12-06, version 3.0.66* I’ve been using Kiddo to find carers for my toddler twins and it has honestly been a lifesaver on several occasions. The app is easy to use and gives me real peace of mind knowing I can find trusted help when I need it. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — So great! *2025-11-21, version 3.0.66* I’ve been using Kiddo for a few years now & it’s been so great! It makes things so much easier to navigate bookings and specific needs of the children before accepting a babysitting job. I rave about it to everyone I meet! ### 5/5 — Awesome babysitters *2025-11-21, version 3.0.66* Great app. Simple to use. Matches parents with available babysitters. ### 1/5 — Significant Platform Flaws Hinder Service Delivery and Communication *2025-09-28* As a Support Worker, I have found this platform to be fundamentally flawed and inefficient. My experience is defined by two major problems: a severe lack of work opportunities and a broken communication system. 1. Lack of Work Options: There are insufficient parents requiring support in the app, resulting in a low volume of work, matches, and confirmed bookings. 2. Communication Failures: The inability to secure the limited work available is worsened by platform design flaws: Parents frequently match with workers but fail to initiate contact or confirm the service, leaving potential bookings in limbo. The worker has no ability to proactively reach out to a parent who has made a booking, forcing us to passively wait for a confirmation that rarely arrives. Crucially, the app lacks any direct support or communication channel to resolve these issues, even with a premium subscription. The poor design creates a critical lack of interaction between workers, participants, and the platform developers. Until these technical failures and the low volume of available work are addressed, I cannot recommend this app; it is inefficient and a waste of both time and money. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We really appreciate your feedback. Kiddo is primarily designed as a platform for babysitting and nanny care, helping parents find trusted, verified local carers quickly and easily. The system is intentionally set up so that parents initiate contact after viewing a carer’s profile, this keeps things simple for families and avoids carers feeling overwhelmed by messages from multiple users. We are here to simplify things and ensure parents have choice and control. While many amazing support workers also use Kiddo, our app is best suited to casual babysitting, nannying, and family care rather than dedicated support work. We truly value your experience and will keep your comments in mind as we continue improving communication and connection features for both parents and carers. 💛 ### 5/5 — Great Service *2025-09-24, version 6.0.63* So thankful for Kiddo! It’s great to be able to find care when it really matters. Love the reviews and ratings and also being able to find babysitters when we are travelling! ### 1/5 — Carers cancelling last minute, no shows and delayed refunds *2025-09-04, version 6.0.63* I’ve have had a number of carers accept a booking and cancel including the most recent experience of a carer not showing up at the time the booking was due to commence. I’ve also had delays in being reimbursed refunds (as you are required to pay for care in full when the booking is accepted) and am still awaiting a refund from the no-show carer and it has been nearly a week now despite regular communication with the company contacts regarding the refund issue. ### 5/5 — Needs feature added please *2025-08-03, version 3.0.62* I was left waiting for one week because a parent wouldn’t choose their sitter from among the applicants, quickly. During this time, I couldn’t book any other work for that date. Sitters need to be able to “opt out” of a job they have applied for once parents don’t make a decision within 12 hours. Once the sitter has been chosen, I understand we have to do the job. But prior to the parents choosing and locking us in, we need to be able to book someone else in. We can’t be left hanging like that. A week is too long to be locked into a “maybe” when we are getting other job offer privately or other agencies. ## Frequently asked questions about Kiddo App ### What does the Kiddo App do?
