I have UrbanSitter as a benefit from my…Don’t do it...
I have UrbanSitter as a benefit from my company, after using this is the only way I would use it (when it’s free). First of all, they have many user issues with the app, when issues come up you can only email their customer service and mostly you will receive pre written responses that address zero of the issues you mentioned. The customer service will always blame the customer and not recognize the software failure.... then it can take from 3 hours to 3 days for a response. To make matters worse they wait 3 business days to pay your sitter even though you pay up front which is frustrating for all involved... to sum it up... mediocre app, worst customer service possible.

Very happy nanny
I have had the pleasure of being connected with UrbanSitter for a few yeas now. Getting started with US was very easy. It is very group to be connected with if you want to be a nanny/babysitter. I hooked up with them for the purpose of being a nanny. Since I have been with them they have sent me several leads for which I have been fortunate to procure lovely families. I enjoy been a nanny because I can then be with a child for a good period of time before the child is placed in a preschool. Then I still get to care for the child as a babysitter and that keeps me nice and busy and especially connected to the child. More about UrbanSitter: I receive several leads to select from so there is no shortage of clients to select from. If there is any problem with a client of the web site, they are quick to handle and with a lot of affinity. I am so happy I discovered this company.

Urbansitter is great for students!
I started using Urbansitter back in 2012 when I was an undergraduate college student. I had a very positive experience with the company throughout my 3 years on the site. I baby-sat for well over 30 families and found 2 consistent nannying gigs that helped me support myself through college. I had great experiences with almost all the families that I worked with and Urbansitter made it especially easy to connect with many different groups. I appreciated that I could interview and book with different families through the site as well as take credit card payments. Without urbansitter I wouldn't have met some of the wonderful kids that I got to help nurture and learn from. It also led me into working as a preschool teacher for a year. Thanks Urbansitter!

From a very experienced sitter/nanny...
As a very experienced sitter/nanny, I can highly recommend Urbansitter. They have many safety recommendations along the way as you decide who you want to work with. You can add a lot of detail in your profile and video to showcase your experience and education regarding children. It has a calendar and payment features included in the app. I’ve asked several questions about varied topics and they’ve always answered promptly and respectfully! They also give frequent updates regarding current events (such as the current popular virus) and how to protect yourself and the families you serve. Give them a try and don’t be afraid to ask questions, look up reviews on google and YouTube, and generally explore the app thoroughly to familiarize yourself with how it works.

Definitely give UrbanSitter a try!!
When I was in college I used UrbanSitter a lot to pick up date night jobs during the weekend and even got a regular mother’s helper job during the week after classes. It was a great way to make extra money completely on my own schedule. You can set your availability for certain days and parents can book you, or you can look at posted jobs and apply for them. I met so many nice families and explored different parts of the city I may have never visited! When you set up your profile, definitely add a video and get reviews from past employers and other parents so you can start off with 5-Star reviews. I’ve seen other sitters complain but honestly if you do a great job babysitting and are professional and reliable (don’t no-show!) you shouldn’t have a problem and you’ll find so much benefit in UrbanSitter. Everyone at support has been helpful too with jobs and payments. I highly recommend you give it a try!!!

I used Urbansitter for four years when I was in college and am so thankful I did. I was able to work and spend time with some truly amazing kids, all while going to school full-time. I was also able to gain invaluable insight that has become essential to my current career - children's television.

Mystrious sitter and Urbansitter won't share basic information
Cant believe that UrbanSitter can have a sitter that wont share basic information needed to comply with IRS regulations and the company will do nothing to help. They HAVE all of the necessary information - if they did actually do a thorough background check. These are real families, with real kids, and their lack of transparency and willingness to help is uncanny. This sitter could have taken our kid and we couldn't even find anything about the sitter or where to go looking. This was a huge eye opener and lesson learned - stay away from this platform and vet others. At a minimum, a parent should receive basic information about the sitter before they arrive to your home.
Don't make this mistake - request and require information about the sitter upfront and only use platforms that allow this type of communication.
FYI - for those in the future, the only information needed, IMO, is a full name and Address. Urbansitter does not provide these basic details but want you to trust whoever comes to your house. Please beware.

Hi Gerald, thank you for reaching out and expressing your concerns in this review. UrbanSitter is committed to maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and reliable platform for all and we value transparency so parents can make educated decisions when searching for and hiring childcare providers.
UrbanSitter, the marketplace, is not an agency. For this reason, we do not employ sitters and accordingly, we do not provide W2's, unemployment benefits, and tax assistance to sitters. All matters of expenses and taxes are between the parent and sitter. It is our understanding that to claim babysitter hours and the payment made for tax or expense purposes, you will need to obtain the SSN of the sitters.
To protect the integrity, privacy, and security of member accounts we are unable to disclose a member’s personal information or account history to third parties in accordance with UrbanSitter’s Privacy Policy. Similarly, UrbanSitter does not have access to the personal information required for the background check. However, the applicant is able to access their background check information and can share with families per their discretion. For additional information, please visit our Trust and Safety page.
We appreciate your concern and candor, and we’ll continue to do whatever possible to assist your family and give you clarity and peace of mind. Please feel free to keep in touch, and best of luck moving forward on UrbanSitter!

This site is a Joke..
This site is a Joke..I put myself on Urbansitter a few weeks ago and applied to at least 50 jobs at the minute they are posted and got no answers back. I have an excellent resume , I am CPR first aid certified, owned a little daycare and so on . But I have no reviews because I was never booked, so no parents can give their feedback. I paid the $25 fees for background check.. I really think this site scams babysitters. No real jobs or too many babysitters who apply so you will never get a job

Hi Marylene - thanks so much for sharing your experience so far in this review. We’re sorry to hear you're disappointed you haven't received many responses yet, but we're glad to see you’re actively looking for jobs and keeping up with new posts on the Job Board!
As a sitter with a ton of experience like yourself, we highly recommend boosting your profile by requesting recommendations from families you've previously worked with. They can speak to your experience and professionalism in the form of a 5-star review on your sitter profile. Be sure to also list your CPR certification on your profile, add a video, and direct deposit information to get paid for jobs via credit card.
We hope you don't get discouraged by the lack of responses and to continue seeking out opportunities to connect with great families in your area. Although UrbanSitter is an online marketplace for parents and sitters to connect and not an agency able to guarantee jobs, if you keep checking for new opportunities and utilizing the tips above, we’re sure you’ll connect with great families in your area soon. Please feel free to stay in touch with our Member Services team with any questions or concerns by emailing support@urbansitter.com - and we'll be happy to help. We wish you the best of luck in finding your perfect job (or jobs)!

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.
