Very good and helpful website

Is one of the better sights to find a childcare job in my are. Frustrating that you can only send 2 messages per month without a premium account but overall a good service.

amazing

I thought it was another website where agencies put advices instead is really to trust. You always have a response and there aren't mediators or the site that blocked you, but you contact directly the family. There are a lot of new ads every day so it's really glkd and easy to use as a site. I recommend it!

Bad beyond words

Was a subscriber for over 2 years yet I never found any suitable candidates. Having not logged in months I recently got hit by the annual auto-renewal. Having recently lost my job, I am trying to be more careful with expenses. When I reached out to politely ask if the recent auto-renewal could be rescinded/refunded, I was referred to the T&C, offered a free month or a 50% rebate ....just not good enough!

I would recommend this site to anyone!

I'm a young 16 year old girl looking for a part time job, this site gives really easy access to find jobs near you! It allows you to create your own profile and add any details to help you find a job. I would recommend this because it's easy to navigate around, easy to find jobs and easy to find sitters and nannys! 5 star received from me!

Good platform.

This site makes it easy to make a babysitting profile and find jobs in various different areas. I have found it very helpful, as well as easy, to use. The messaging tool allows you to quickly get in contact with others on the site and you are also able to leave you phone number for any potential parents to contact you last minute! Overall, very good.

Quite disappointing

Their subscription based system is too expensive. Without realizing you spend £300 a year for having access to this website. Sitters.com is free of charge and has lower rates to start with. Also, FAB's policy of making it really hard to cancel the subscription is off-putting. I would not recommend this site.

Dear Bernhard
Ohhh 2 stars?! :o
I am extremely sorry to learn you are disappointed with the services on offer. Customer feedback is always very welcome.
Sitters.com is for the USA. Findababysitter offers 3 subscription packages for Parents. £25 a month / £55 a quarter / £95 a year. We regularly instant message our users with discount code 'LASTCHANCE' for 30% -off payment at the checkout, which could be £66.50 a year. We state at this point the need to contact Customer Care to cancel a subscription. Also from the HELP & ADVICE>FAQs menu found on each page, 'How do I cancel my subscription?' is visible. Here we state 'Simply email our Customer Care Team on contact@findababysitter.com to request a cancellation of your subscription. You will receive a cancellation confirmation reply within 24 hours.'

Without charge it is impossible to hold such a database and provide a secure service for users, including DBS verifications / Identity Checks / OFSTED registration checks / References and protecting users from any fraudulent behaviour. User safety and the safety of littleones is paramount to us.

Bernhard please send us an email so we can help you further and grant your account 1 month of Premium without charge. Have a very pleasant day and week ahead.

Great Website for Babysitters - Findababysitter!!

I logged onto find a babysitter to find a part-time sitter for my son. I met one lady from who was amazing with kids, She played and looked after my son so well, that when she was not available, I logged on again to find another sitter. I found three sitters on Findababysitter and between them my son had bright, engaging, safe and very child -friendly sitters, whom were great.
I myself also have a babysitting history and have registered to help other parents too, with care and love I know children deserve.
