Ruined by Bubble
As a parent who had abandoned Bubble in the past, I’m gutted that Sitters has now been subsumed into Bubble - an inferior service which results in you being bombarded by and having to sift through dozens of inappropriate random applications, rather your job only being offered to your selected few. Will be looking for something entirely different going forward.

Sitters have really let the sitters down
Worked with sitters for years happily, it’s really disappointing they didn’t respect their loyal sitters, the public face of their business and who without they wouldn’t have a business for any input in moving to from the website to the app. As a result it’s been a disaster for the sitters.
…..They are now using the bubble app, again a move they’ve asked with out consultation as how to make it smooth and successful from the actual people using it. Bubble is even worse as they promote working for less than minimum wage

Moving to bubble
29/7/2026
Before Sitters built their own app, I had no problem getting regular bookings and built up 7 years of work. Since they launched their app, the amount of work declined, there were no more tips, payments started taking 4 days.
Now they’ve moved to Bubble and it’s even worse. Almost every booking I apply for says, “Booking no longer available.”
It feels like you’ve handed your client base over to Bubble and now the system you built can no longer cope or you’re loosing money due to the commission you’r charging parents, we know because the parents say this. Whatever the reason, something that worked well for both sitters and parents is now broken.
Sitters, when you try to fix something that wasn’t broken in the first place, this is what happens. Your decisions affect both sitters and parents. I hope you’re happy with the outcome.

Terrible
I have worked with Sitters as a babysitter for over 20 years. It’s absolutely ridiculous that it now takes 4-5 WORKING days to now get paid! I now do not receive ANY tips at all. When I use to receive my pay from parents after the work. Sitters now get to earn off interest on your money through keeping it for days! Half the time it’s not worth my while to take a booking anymore. Hate the app and all the parents I have spoken to all hate it. Now the app wont even exist as they are moving to Bubble who charge 15% commission!!!
