Great App, Great concept, but not great for experienced sitters
Jobs are hard to find that are high enough pay to actually be worth it for someone that has - good bit of experience. You do have to be on your phone constantly as well or catch any good paying jobs too, it’s very difficult to “claim” a job before it gets claimed by another sitter. Not my favorite app as a sitter

Great concept but not the security I’m looking for
I’ll start by saying the concept of this is AWESOME. I was so excited to make my account and hopefully find a few great sitters.
You make a profile, where you can post jobs with specific date and time, and the app shows you how many people view your job and when it’s accepted by a sitter. You then have the option to “PASS” on that sitter or leave as is. By default, the first sitter to claim your job gets it unless you choose to “pass.”
PROS: The scheduling option is SO NICE! I posted a job and it was accepted immediately.
The sitter was then able to message me. I liked that the sitter profile shows photos, experience (like camp counselor, CPR, etc), and social media handles, so I could look the person up myself.
-You can earn a gift card for referring friends to the app, which is cool.
CONS: -I was required to enter names and DOB for each of my children. That’s too much on an app where I can’t see who is viewing this into. I opted to put an initial and dummy dob.
-Sitter Rating: On the sitter profile, it shows how many jobs the sitter has taken through the app (this is a PRO), as well as job ratings — rated with stars, like the reviews we give in the App Store, but without the explanation. The sitter who accepted my job had 8 reviews, 7 of which were 5-stars, but one was a 1-star review. This was difficult for me, but I chose to pass. The 1-star review may have been given due to poor communication, or it could have been from an actual issue between the babysitter and the children. I have no way of knowing that without an explanation from the reviewer
-I didn’t realize when I logged in I wouldn’t be able to view any sitters or other parents on the app. It’s just me and whatever sitter accepts my job. So I couldn’t browse and try to find one.
-Sitter profiles don’t have a bio. I would very much have liked to see a bio/greeting from the sitter to see how they present themselves
In conclusion, I think this app has SO much potential. But I don’t feel as comfortable finding a sitter through the app as I would an actual, personal referral.

Great App!
This app is amazing for quick jobs for sitters. I’ve found so many already and I know that the families are vetted and often are friends with other families I know, which makes me feel so much safer than other apps. Highly recommend!
Love this app
As a babysitter I love this app.
It’s hard to claim jobs as you have to be on your phone all the time to get the good paying jobs.
I would love to have this app in my home town Iowa City as well. But it works great in the Omaha Area.
I’m always looking for more family’s to babysit. 😁

LOVE this app!
This app is absolutely amazing! Are used to spend time texting 15 to 20 babysitters anytime I needed a sitter now I log onto an app, post the job and within 15 minutes have a sitter lined up and ready to go! This has been a huge blessing and massive timesaver as a busy mom!
