## Bubble for Sitters Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Worst customer service support ever"
Their customer service literally tried to gaslight me and making me feel as if I was wrong and said I lied for my review when they straight up lied to me to keep me working for them just so they could take money from our hard working earnings as sitters. And now they are dismissive and rude ignoring my messages.
They tried to get my comment removed when they still haven’t even paid me since the 16th I’m still waiting. Their customer service even tried to accuse me of not being a good childcare worker as if I haven’t been with them 3 years and only had 5 star reviews and parents asking me to come back.
They don’t care about anyone sitters or parents just the money they get of you literally don’t work for them is not worth it.
The parent that didn’t pay me for my time hasn’t been banned or anything but if sitter do anything like that we do. They said they have put precautions in place with the parent but I can still see her post, but my account is getting suspended!! When I am the victim. Absolute joke
-- Jemlombardo, 2024-12-26

### ***-- "The fees are too much"
I’ve been using bubble for a long time ( since 2017) but have only ever used it on an adhoc basis due to the nature of my full time job. It used to be fantastic however with the fee increase going up to 25% it’s often not worth doing a sit unless it’s long one. I understand that the fee goes down with repeat sits however if you are unable to have lots of families because you can’t commit to regular sits you end up losing out quite a bit. Also the super sitter badge requires quite a lot of sits in a specific time frame so can be hard to mainta
-- samzb10, 2024-12-22

### ****- "Good sitting app"
It’s a very useful and pratic app, I just don’t agree with the 30% they charge sitter, most of all after a long sitting it’s quite unfair to get 30% of someone job everytime! I might prefer to pay an annual subscription instead of that.
-- Nduye, 2024-12-18

### ***-- "Mixed feelings about the app"
Amazing concept appreciate how much easier it is with cashless payments and being able to see previous reviews from other sitters. But with a big but..I feel like the fee’s hikes for both sitters and parents is now reflecting in the quantity of jobs on the app. I’ve been on the app for at least 5 years and would have no issue finding a weekend evening babysitting. Now you just see the odd job come up, I feel having seeing the app over the last few years it can only be blamed on the extra fees for parents to book a babysitter, why there are hardly any families using it in comparison to a few years ago.
-- Gsmer244, 2024-11-01

### ***** "Such a useful app"
As a childcarer, I love using Bubble to find extra work. I love that it’s flexible and I can find jobs that fit in with my schedule. The app is really easy to use and allows you to showcase your experience to potential families.
-- J06Swan, 2024-10-01

### *---- "Very bad app"
Not worth putting so much time on creating a profile. I have done few sits and just one parent reached me to do a second sit. Most of the parents don’t do it so you end up paying 25% of your salary for nothing really. Also, it’s very hard to get sits if you try to charge more to compensate the fees. So at the end you are just losing time on an app that doesn’t provide anything. Also, the insurance is quite bad, only protects the parents. If something happens to you the insurance doesn’t cover it.
-- Babysitter1232, 2024-09-25

### *---- "Abuse of power over sitters by parents"
Avoid this agency that puts nannies in contact with parents.. No security for sitters. The parents who access this platform are dubious, lying, and intimidating and above all you will not see the colour of your pay. It's been 4 months that they owe me money from an unpaid sitting. The people who manage this platform are unable to find the parent concerned and above all they will keep your personal data and your profile even after no longer working with them. Be very careful not to fall into their traps.
-- Stt.1, 2024-09-12

### **--- "Great in theory"
I’ve been on Bubble since the platform first launched in the Home Counties in 2017, I was one of the first sitters in my area. The idea of the service is fantastic but the realities of it don’t work as well as it should. Each sit is timed within the app and all payment is also handled this way as well, meaning there is no panic about working out exact pay and scrambling for cash or change. My issues come from a few different things. Firstly, if a sitter cancels a sit after being booked then it affects their rating, however if a parent cancels there is no repercussions other than a paying a fee, I feel it’s unfair to treat the parties differently. Second, after applying for a sit it can sometimes be days or even weeks before a sit is accepted or declined, meaning the sitter is hanging on waiting and potentially misses out on booking other sits because there is no time limit for the parents. Third, the platform fees they now charge sitters is astronomical. On a first sit they take 25% of the total payment, reduced to 6% for all future sits with that same family. Whilst it is comforting to have the insurance and coverage in case of an accident or incident during the sit, due to the sheer number of sitters now on the platform parent have more options to choose from meaning it’s now almost impossible to get repeat sits, therefore I’m being charged 25% every sit which is a lot of my money being taken and limits me to only applying to longer sits. When I first started the platform fee per sit was 3.5%. I don't know what fee parent pay per sit but its not hard to imagine how much money Bubble is now taking in…it’s not surprising to hear that families and sitters are now booking sits privately off the app due to the massive hike in fees. The claim is that this will incentivise rebooking with same family/sitter, but the parents are always going to go with the cheapest sitter. Rebooking are very hard to come across.. Fourth, you cannot read your reviews. It would be nice to know what the parents have to say about you, but all you can see is you review percentage rating. Fifth, the helpdesk can take hours to respond sometimes. I recently had a sit where I could not locate the property as the address listed wasn’t clear, and the parent wasn’t answering the phone when I tried to call. When I messaged the helpdesk to ask how long I should wait to see if I can reach the parent it took 6 hours for them to respond. Thankfully I did eventually reach the parent and find the c
-- hrixon, 2024-09-08

### *---- "Awful"
After signing up and receiving their references, the app failed to onboard me. I had to go out of my way to email and chase up why my profile was not live. The customer support has been rude so far, incredibly patronising and the platform fees are ridiculous. You’re better off trying something else.
-- BubbleSitter, 2024-09-02

### *---- "Shocked by fees"
Today I was shocked by the fee bubble took from my sit. 25%. 20 pound of my sit was gone because of that. That’s almost 2 hours of my seven hour shift taken off me. It never used to be like this. Feels grossly unfair and it’s not worth it
-- Some the bananarama, 2024-08-28

### *---- "No reply from support"
I have bought the enhanced DBS check through the platform six months ago but it’s never arrived or been uploaded to my profile. I paid around £60 to have more chances to get a job and ended up without any sittings, any DBS check and any reply from the support!
-- macearra, 2024-08-16

### *---- "App completely doesn’t work"
I’ve tried countless times to make an account with bubble. Originally, I never received an SMS with a verification code for my phone number. Now every time I try to make an account I’m sent an email to verify my email address. That email just sends me back to the create an account page. I tried to create an account again today and now nothing happens when I click next. It loads for a couple of seconds then nothing. On top of this, whenever I put my birthday in, the app changes the day. If the app is this buggy just trying to create an account, I dread to think what it’s like usually!
-- Nosey Noodle, 2024-08-16

### **--- "New freed ruining new opportunities"
I am at a lost as to why the fees have been raised so high. 20 - 25% platform fee for every new sit is completely unfair. If a sitter is accepting a one off sit, this fee makes taking the job pointless. 

The fee then reduces to 6% if you have another sit with them. A super sitter if is 3.5% if every sit, but still I think it’s un necessary and greedy of bubble. 

It would be a lot fairer if there was a monthly reasonable platform fee for sitters, this month I have paid almost £100 in platform fees, this is outrageous! 

I have no idea what I am paying for in this platform fee par the introduction to the family. A yearly insurance costs  no more than £100. 

Bubble it would be worth you reevaluating this fee and be considerate to sitters who use this app.
-- Stellar Moon, 2024-06-17

### ***** "Amazing and useful app!"
Bubble is a great company to work with! As a sitter, I find this app really easy to use and to find jobs even in a short notice. Never had any issues with it and even when we need any type of support, we know we can rely on their costumer service team to help us. Amazing App, thank you Bubble!
-- Katydid1996, 2024-06-12

### ***** "Great app for sitters"
Love the app!
-- Hamsy89, 2024-06-11

### **--- "Platform fee is very high and the app is only benefit parents not sitter"
The app charges 25% platform fee on the sitter for the first sit, which is very high and most parents not even know how low income that the sitter received. Of course the app said then it charges 6% for all your next sits with the same family but most ad hoc sits are just for random and not for long term relationships with the family. Also for the parents cancelling the sit in the last minute, the sitter received so little and they also charged the platform fee on the sitter on top of the cancellation pay. They give discounts and benefits to parents side but they don’t care the sitter. I can see here have a lot of comments and reviews saying the same things just because the app is not for sitter, but for their own profits.
-- LauraB881, 2024-06-02

### **--- "Stressful and disheartening"
I used to enjoy this app but feel that now there are a real lack of jobs which I am sure is down to the new platform fees. Parents are unaware of these fees and are very shocked when informed.
Some days there are only 3 jobs on the app and that is really disappointing.
Also, When jobs are up, parents seem to take a really long time to choose someone and that can be frustrating when you are trying to plan ahead.
I have also had parents book me in the knowledge that their children are really sick without informing me which was very unfair. 
I am a highly qualified and experienced sitter and not prepared to work under minimum wage even if it is just for the first sit. Sad that it has come to this. I understand the app has to make their money but this increase is so substantial that it is really impacting on sitters livelihoods as many of us rely on the app to make our money.
-- Jen85577, 2024-05-31

### ***** "Great opportunity to work with local families"
Would recommend it to both sitters and parents, fantastic app!
-- AlexandraVic, 2024-05-28

### ***** "Love Bubble"
Bubble has helped me build up a really great network of local families over the years and the support team behind the app is always willing to help when I’ve had any issues.
-- maxycoop84, 2024-05-27

### ***-- "Mixed Feelings"
I feel so mixed about this app.
I absolutely love getting jobs on it and have been blessed to have had great families. However, I am able to be picky (I don't work, so this is just additional income for my household) so I don't apply for jobs in dodgy areas near me! 

It's genuinely been great.
However, when I started using this app, I was charged 3.5% for every sit, including new families.

Now, I'm charged 15% (I know some areas are charged 25%!) because I live in an area where the app is growing.
However, because the app is growing, ALL my jobs are with new families. A large percentage are families that are temporarily in the area for an event and therefore I'll never have a booking with them again.
Everytime I get a job through I'm fighting the urge to increase my hourly rate, however when I do this, I don't get jobs.
So, I stick to £12 per hour and lose a significant chunk of it, meaning I basically get £10 an hour.
Most of my jobs are at least a 20 minutes drive each way, so if I get booked for a 3 hour job, it's genuinely not worth it.

I've spoken to Bubble Support about this and they genuinely don't seem to care.
I get the app needs money to run and grow, but your sitters are the main people who will grow this app, from being available to sit for new families when they join.
I want to help this app grow but Bubble don't seem to get that they are punishing sitters and not parents with these fees!!!

I also want to be able to see my reviews!
It's helpful to know what parents think and what new parents see.

I really hope this new fee system doesn't kill the app because I do enjoy using it, but I just feel bubble are taking the mick a bit.
