Sittercity Website Review
Many placements are a scam to get your confidential information
There's no way of knowing if any of the placements are for real. If you respond to requests for e-mail, or phone number, the alleged customers have info to *** your accounts.
If you're looking for real work, try someone else. Your information is not secure on this site. I made the mistake of responding to one posting and pulled the plug when a great deal of confidential information was requested....but only after I gave them my e-mail. Only after responding did the alleged customer provide info about the supposed job, three days a week, 3 hours a day, for $500 a week.
The alleged customer wanted my bank info to send me a check up front. They also wanted a phone number which turned out to be text-only.
They don't have that many postings in this area only. Beware.
Sittercity Babysitter Service Review from Los Angeles, California
Close to 50% of jobs on SitterCity are scams
- Idea behind the site
- Complete lack of security protecting users
Preferred solution: SitterCity needs to add a level of security to their site (including automated scripts to catch scammers). SitterCity needs to follow best practices when it comes to web security to halt phishing & scams on their site.

I do not like how they operate .i have no idea who they are their are no face to this place.and every job u want to apply for u have to full a new application which is very time consumming.y cant their b a system set up where people who are looking for someone go in and look at what u have already summited.instead of having to reapply to every job its crazy and also a discouragement plus these jobs wants a lot done for very little money .these jobs are more like slave pays plus having to drive a was come on the pay out is just crazy.

Sittercity Subscription Review from Tampa, Florida
Complete Scam!!! Paid for one month and every time we communicated with a sitter, they would sound great and be so interested in sitting for us.
The minute we tried to set up a meeting with them, they somehow always became MIA. No more communication. Meanwhile, we contacted the company to cancel so we would not be charged further. Well, we were charged for 3 months after.
When I tried to get a refund, they wouldn't give us anything back because THEY failed to cancel our account and THEY failed to send a confirmation of cancellation, which they insist we present to them in order to get any kind of refund. Wouldn't budge a bit. So even though their website says, "I forgot to cancel my subscription, can I get a refund? No worries, we get that life can get busy.
If you were charged within the last 5 days, we would be more than happy to cancel your subscription and process a full refund for your most recent charge. If more than 5 days have passed, you are eligible for a prorated refund of your most recent charge." Ummmm, it's a lie!!
Don't waste your time or money!!!!!!
- Deceptive billing practices
- Lack of clarity
- Misrepresentation of sitter info
Preferred solution: Full refund
BIG SCAM
I recently joined Sittercity. I thought I had found the right job for me.
I was wrong... It was nothing, but a BIG lie. A lady of the name, Amanda Smith, contacted me being super sweet telling me her father had passed away and she was out of the country for his funeral. Her husband and her thought I'd be the perfect nanny for their son when I received another email with a different name and basically the same story as she sent me.
At that moment I knew something was up. When she finally replied back to me she said they made the decision for me to be their nanny and that they would pay me my first weeks pay now so I don't fall behind on my bills. Right then and there I knew it was a scam. Usually you wait to see if they even show up.
That's exactly what I told her too. I'm still going along with her emails as if I know nothing. But I can't wait to confront her about it. You don't lie about someone passing away.
That's just wrong! I never write bad reviews, but I'm hoping this will help someone in the future. Be super careful of the personal information you reveal. I'm so happy I didn't release anything personal.
I deleted my sittercity account and am sticking with Care.com. I've found a lot of friendly people on there!
I've had a couple of jobs with them. Thanks for reading!
