Glitchy app, not worth the money

App consistently will not save any profile info entered so I keeps saying I have an incomplete profile when I’ve entered and saved the same info six times!!! Very few jobs listed in my area, will be deleting

UPDATE! I attempted to cancel my account two months ago and they’ve continued to charge me. Stay as far away from this app as possible. I will be reporting the to the BBB and disputing their charges

Babysitters beware

You’ll look on Google and notice how many jobs seem available through Wyndy. You’ll pay for the background checks, you’ll jump through their hoops. You’ll finally be approved to find…nothing. Empty feed, no jobs. Maybe it was legitimate at one point but how it’s not called a scam is beyond me. Also look closely at those Google ads, you’ll notice they all sound suspiciously similar.

Terrible

Do not download or sign up for this babysitting app. I downloaded it this summer in hopes I could get a few jobs and I paid for it and had the app for a month with no short term babysitting jobs in my area ever coming up despite me frequently refreshing. So naturally I deleted my account in the app and I have now been charged a Wyndy subscription for 2 months and every time I email customer service it takes multiple days to ever get a word back and after the last time I was told my account was terminated but I am still finding charges on my card. Waste of time and money find another babysitting app and don’t waste your time with this one.

This app sucks

Used to be great. Now it’s inflexible, unresponsive, and rips off parents , caregivers & sitters alike.

never got approved

it has been over 3 weeks! i have never gotten approved for the job. this is ridiculous!!

NOT legit

I have been a nanny for 10+ years and out of all the sites I have used, this is by far the WORST. You get unsolicited babysitting ads that aren’t even for a legit position. You pay a membership fee, for what? To obtain a sitter? When anyone could post online for free? Customer service was ignorant and not helpful. Stay far away! Care.com all the way!

Full of fake jobs

I was lured by jobs that sounded like they’d be a great fit! Once I signed up, only fake jobs with no actual information were listed. Wishing I hadn’t paid anything!

Lies about Payout!! Doesn’t adhere to minimum wage laws!

Wyndy has been alright aside from half of the jobs being partnerships with Upwards which is ridiculous. The biggest issue is the constant lies about how much money you will earn. The notifications will always say $25/h but when you click on the job listing it’s actually only $20/h. A very big difference.. I saw one for $27/h and when I click it’s only for $21/h. There is no consistency in the rate changes, it’s random. I have several screenshots of this happening. They have MULTIPLE listings for $13/h when that isn’t even legal in my state; minimum wage is $14.80! There is zero benefit to the subscription service it seems aside from just funneling more money into the company that wants to lie about pay rates and take from hard working parents/nannies! Just clicked on a $50/h job and it’s actually $40/h!!!! TEN DOLLAR DIFFERENCE!!!

Won’t let a certified teacher apply

I’m an infant teacher at an early childhood learning center. I got my child development associate credential by doing lots and lots of trainings and observations through work. I can’t become a part of this app because I didn’t go to collage but yet probably much more qualified than others joining.

Amazing opportunities!

I quit my retail job to do this full time and I love it! Such a fun & flexible career. I’ve met tons of families and frequent lots of wonderful churches <3

THEY WILL SCAM YOU.

you agree to $1 charge for them to background check you, they then take your card information and set you up for a monthly $20 "premium membership" that you NEVER signed up for or even seen. this is a scam. will be disputing with my bank.

charging me for no reason!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! absolutely terrible. they charged 20 dollars a month after i deleted my credit card information. put my in the negatives in my bank. very mad at this issue. fair warning this app is terrible doesn’t even give you any babysitters. DO NOT DOWNLOAD I REPEAT DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Incompetent customer service, charged me despite cancelation.

I signed up for the service for the month long trial period. I canceled it within that time and requested account deletion. My account was not deleted several weeks after the fact, and I was charged the full subscription price of $190 even though I canceled within the trial period. Check your credit card statements! This company pulls a fast one on you! Would give zero stars if possible. I didn’t even book anyone.

This app is a lifesaver!!!

Wyndy has been the best childcare app we’ve used. For date nights, events, or even recurring help, it’s been a game changer. We even found our summer nanny through the app! She’s the best, and we truly would not have known her if it wasn’t for Wyndy.

The app is seamless to use and having access to dependable childcare whenever we need it has been such a relief for our family… I highly recommend Wyndy to any parent. And for sitters, it’s also such a great way to meet families and find jobs. I wish I had this app when I was in college!

The best babysitters!

I have found the best sitters through Wyndy! We’ve tried Care and a couple others, but could never find the right fit. Also, we’ve been able to get a sitter just a few hours ahead of time for impulsive last minute date nights. We have found 3 sitters who we now use regularly. The app interface could use some work, but we found great sitters anyway!

Had a sitter cancel on me 2 hours before the scheduled time and I can’t leave a review

The sitter canceled on me 2 hours before the scheduled time she was supposed to arrive. I had a wedding to attend. I was really disappointed to find that we can’t leave a review on these types of sitters so others can cautiously book with them. There’s no way for me to tell whether this is a pattern of the sitter or even warn others, which is not helpful at all for parents.

SCAM SCAM SCAM

stay away from this app omg and god please don’t sign up for a subscription. they will charge you $20 a month for no reason with no way to cancel clearly and you can’t even delete your account. i’ve had to dispute charges and even change my card details. this is ridiculous.

TERRIBLE

I can’t cancel my subscription, I didn’t even sign up for one. SCAM. Do not download

Paid a sitter to cancel on me

The app charges you $25 to cancel a job in under 48 hours with no option to indicate the sitter was the one who canceled. So while the sitter canceled 45 minutes before show time via text, I got to pay her $20 to cancel just by trying to avoid paying the whole fee. 🫠 I am sure the sitter should have canceled in the app but she didn't. it's definitely not an app I'm comfortable using.
