Sittr.com Peace of Mind Childcare

As a privileged and educated Carer with 8 years patronage I can vouch for valid and sound services for your family and children with Sittr.com

Scam app do not use!!! Support non existent!

This app is quite the scam, did a couple of bookings. I needed invoices for these bookings, the FAQs say they provide invoices, but there is no way to access them. I’ve messaged support and no one replies at all. I event went as far as searching up the employees on LinkedIn and messaged them, no one replied! This is some sort of scam company with fake employees or something. If you can’t do something as basic as a receipt or invoice, then don’t trust them with the care of your children. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Use Kiddo instead, they’ve been great and support replies the same day.

Scammers

They don't reply to emails or messages and haven't replied to pay me for a job I done. Still unpaid and not replied to 20 days later. Seems like a scam of an app.

Not working

I’ve been using the app for two years already. I haven’t been able to ever receive a payment through the app, so all the bookings had to be cancelled and issued outside of the app. This is tolerable, but today a family changed the booking and the app doesn’t let me to accept nor cancel the new booking. I can’t even send messages to them. I tried deleting the app and installing it over again, but this was a huge mistake. Now it seems like loading for ever and I can’t even log in. Thanks to this I will leave this family standing up.
