Support non existent! *2025-06-16, version 3.1.9* 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. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2025-05-22, version 3.1.9* 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. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-02-01, version 3.1.9* 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. ### 5/5 — Sittr *2024-12-17, version 3.1.9* Great app for carers to earn extra money but issues with my profile and unable to receive emails of jobs posted, no communication from support ### 4/5 — Liz (Sitter) *2024-12-12, version 3.1.9* I find Sittr a great site to source babysitting. I have been on the site now for over 7 years. The families I have meet are wonderful people and some have made me a part of their family. It’s appeal to me is the couples that have me look after their treasures want to use a site that give them a high calibre of babysitters. ### 1/5 — I’m totally disappointed *2024-10-30, version 3.1.9* I'm a nanny, when I found this application I loved it, but a dad canceled me before the time making me leave in the middle of the morning, after that my payment was never processed, I've been writing for 3 weeks and they have never responded, so far I already have 4 pending payments! I've sent emails, I've sent messages and they don't even give me an answer, what a disappointment I feel cheated 🥲 ### 1/5 — OVERCHARGED *2024-07-09, version 3.1.6* While I was very happy with the booking process and my sitter was great, I was charged twice and have emailed and used chat function multiple times without a response. It’s been over three weeks now. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Great app, but no tech support or troubleshooting *2024-07-06, version 3.1.9* Honest this app is great. Very good for babysitters and parents alike to find each other. My biggest gripe however is the lack of tech support. The app asks for background check for carers such as WWC etc. mine recently expired so I obtained a new one and submitted it for review. Nothing happened. I’ve sent off so many messages to the built in support system and have never heard a response. Looking back I haven’t been able to reach tech support for 3 years. So the app is great if it works. But if you run to to a problem you are far out of luck. I can’t even begin to calculate how many postings I have missed out on because I simply can’t get this issue resolved. ### 1/5 — Amazing babysitters, poor service *2024-07-03, version 3.1.9* I have used Sittr a number of times and previously had been a huge advocate, recommending it to other parents for the ease of connecting with babysitters you can trust. However I was charged to my credit card twice the last time I had a sitter, and have not been able to get in touch with anyone to organise a refund. I’ve emailed customer service at least twice and used the chat function in app to prompt contact multiple times and there’s been nothing back. It’s so frustrating. Hoping this review helps me get some traction! ### 4/5 — How does one make contact with a human? *2023-05-11, version 3.1.7* I recently have been going through the sign up process but have come across a few issues. Sadly there seems to be no real way to contact an actual person in order to sort out the issues is there some phone no. Where I can talk to a person to get the issues resolved ## Frequently asked questions about Sittr ### What does Sittr do?
