Amazing service!!!
I’ve been using UrbanSitter for about 8 years now and honestly it’s been a life saver! It’s easy to use, I’ve met and worked for hundreds of amazing families, and their team is super responsive and awesome whenever I need help with something or have an issue.

Hi Jamie, thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad to see that you’ve found such success on UrbanSitter so far and are becoming the best sitter you can be. UrbanSitter wouldn't be the same without amazing sitters like you!
Don’t waste your money!!
I would definitely not spend your money on this!! I have applied to several jobs, and no families respond or anything. It is not worth it!! Wish I had read the reviews before buying

Thank you for reaching out and writing us a review! We are sorry to hear that you're disappointed that you haven't received any bookings yet. We have seen that sitters can have great success by adding a profile video and direct deposit information to their profile! We wish you the best of luck in finding your perfect job (or jobs!) For more tips, please feel free to email our Member Services team at support@urbansitter.com and we'll be happy to help.
I've encountered a few flakes but overall a great service.
I like using urban sitter - it's so convenient in a pinch. A few times I've had sitters flake out -- they get sick and cancel with short notice or what have you -- but I've always managed to find a replacement here again when that happens. Every sitter we've met through here has been nice so far.

Urban Sitter is one of the best sites for sitting children. When I had a problem logging in, it was quickly taken care of by Member Services. I logged in soon after and applied to one posting, had an interview and got the job. Their support team is great and I've had many positive results from Urban Sitter. I'd recommend it to anyone.

The Darkside of UrbanSitter
I’ve worked on this app for the last 2 1/2 years to only have my profile abruptly delete it. Not to mention the company gave me a short shallow email basically stating that within the user agreement I somehow broke it and that my account is deleted. I’ve sent several emails asking why my account was deleted to all of them being ignored. Urban Sitter cares more about its client income rather than maintaining its workers. I’ve been in several situations where a parent has threatened me while working and urban sitter has done nothing. Yet those emails never seem to get a response. Thanks to urban sitter’s nonchalant decision I no longer have consistent work and I’m struggling to make ends meet

UrbanSitter is a great site for regular weekend sitters - also hoping to find a full time sitter/nanny if a schedule works out (more a factor of schedule which is tricky). I find their background checks to be very helpful vs other apps. The app is easy to use, your ability to communicate with sitters is also a plus - I’ve kind this To be difficult or delayed on some sites - here it’s seamless and instantaneous. Definitely worth your time to explore.

Easy, robust and safe.
Researched a bunch of sitters. Heard back from a handful of them but the true beauty of this site is being able to reach out directly and also post last minute requests for response. I found a wonderful sitter who was just as considerate and discerning of her jobs as I was with picking someone. I even did an enhanced background check which was fast and easy but maybe not even necessary because of the standard screening also offered. The app has a great interface and I like the information you are provided. I highly recommend the site.

This company is worthy of a LAWSUIT. They allow the parents to conduct illegal activity to babysitters then remove you from all work. This business is scary.

I bought a $100 gift card for a friend online last Christmas. Neither her nor I got a confirmation email about it, but they did charge my credit card. I've messaged support but not heard back yet. I don't need a refund, just a gift card code for my friend. Once this is resolved, I will happily change my stars.
EDIT: This has resolved quickly and with no hassle.

We had difficulty booking a sitter
We had difficulty booking a sitter. Emailed them within 30 days as per their refund policy for a refund because we found their services to be lacking. Then we're told because we attempted to make contact with sitters to try to book them that we voided our ability for a refund. Scam!! Don't waste your money.

I am very glad and thankfull to work as a babysitter thru Urbansitter. They are such an amazing community. Lots of jobs, lots of nice families, and a very helpful staff. 3 years providing childcare, meeting new people, and learning too much about diferents cultures are making my days joyfull and permiting me criate my own list of favorite families to work with, always based on trust and good care. Sometimes unforeseen situation may happens, but it has been faced and fastly solved by reliable staff. Strongly recommend Urbansitter.

Illegal platform that cares about parents more than caregivers
I had more than 100 all 5 stars reviews!
Parents who posted for $6/hr which is way below the hourly rate in both NJ and NYC, even those who reaches me out for $20/hr knowing that my rate started at $25/hr were declined! They were mad because I did not want to take their low ball rates and they reported me to UrbanSitter who decided to remove me permanently from their website!
This is a nightmare and it’s unfortunate that because of greedy parents great caregivers like me and others are being rejected. Anyway, it’s UrbanSitter’s lost not mine because I still work for parents whom I have kept their contacts on my phone.
UrbanSitter should be reported to the IRS for letting parents illegally pays caregivers who don’t even bother filing taxes because paying in cash isn’t traceable. I will not recommend this website at all, same for Care.com!!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience with the platform so far, with both positive and negative aspects. We highly value the opinions, suggestions, and feedback from sitters as you are a vital piece of our marketplace and essential to our success! Your candid feedback regarding specific areas of our current functions and offerings to members, as well as suggestions for improvement, is really helpful to our team while we evaluate what we can do for members of our community. Please know we've noted each piece of feedback regarding parent reviews, profile requirements, booking cancellations, factors to sitter rates and payments, as well as your personal experience with communication to some families.
Also, please note that as policy, we don't remove legitimate reviews of the UrbanSitter app or site - we suspect that with every update a user makes to their review, the company's response is removed. So sorry for any confusion!
We sincerely appreciate your willingness and dedication to provide us your feedback, which we’ve shared with the entire team here. It does take a village, and we're glad you're a part of ours! We wish you the best of luck moving forward in meeting great families and booking jobs.
The quality of the sitters is great!
The quality of the sitters is great!
For parents looking to have regular childcare, this site is great. We always had great caregivers when we used this service.
Unfortunately, the membership fee is quite high for parents that only require occasional care.
We had a situation with over-billing that was resolved incredibly promptly an in a friendly manner. To me, this shows a strong value system for the service.

We appreciate you taking the time to write us a review. We are sorry to hear about your feedback regarding our membership fees, but we thank you for your honest thoughts! As we do require membership plans to contact and book new sitters, please know that if your membership expires you’ll still be able to continue booking sitters you’ve previously booked. However, we are always happy to receive input from our members about how we can improve UrbanSitter. We do hope to be able to provide more growth in our membership structure in the future.
