They deliver what they say on the tin. At very little notice they found Emma for me, who is first class in her role as a child sitter and more. It meant that I was able to take my little boy to see his paternal family. We had a wonderful time. I am really pleased to have found Sitters. -- Malloran, 2025-04-19 ### ***-- "Availability calendar" I had hoped that after waiting many weeks for a new availability calendar that this would be an improvement on the last one. How disappointed am I. The new one does not give times covered by a morning, afternoon of evening slot like the previous one not did. It also gave the sitter the option to opt out when on a holiday. I had hoped this new calendar would have more times slots like early morning 6-9 then 9-12 . Afternoons 1-3 3-6 then evenings 6-12 and then til late. A sitter may not be able to do an early morning sit a but be free after school drop offs to do a morning sit. I.e 9/9.30 onwards. Not having the option to block yourself out in advance like the old calendar has lead to me accepting a job when I wasn’t available. It was much better on the old system. I hope Sitters will re-think this Calendar and make the necessary improvements. -- Committed sitter, 2025-02-07 ### *---- "App is dreadful with no support" We love our sitters but hate the app and lack of support. -- OER400, 2025-01-12 ### *---- "Terrible" Giving 1 star just for the review- it deserves -0. I have been a sitter for sitters since 2007, never had any issues. Staff and parents have been wonderful. I was exited and welcomed the app when they announced. It turned out to be a nightmare!! Bombarded with repeat bookings sometimes 5 repeat bookings at once for the same slot, and the bookings have already gone anyway. Parents request their favourite sitters, but sitter never receives any of the requests. I had supposedly a confirmed booking - which I was held for for over a month- it turns out the family had cancelled the app all together and had no knowledge of any sitter booked for that night - resulting in the sitter loosing income and the embarrassment of disturbing the family. Contacted ‘sitters’ to rectify, yet no one has contacted me at all, however I did receive an automated response stating that they now charge parents up to 12.5% on top of the booking fee. Never knew this. Maybe is my time to move on to another company. -- Lola@75, 2024-12-30 ### ***** "Ellen" I use sitters as a sitter. I have sat for some lovely families over the years (joined in 2019). Since the app was launched it’s had some problems but hopefully over time they will be ironed out. The most frustrating thing is waiting 7 days for payment to go through but understandable as sitters have to make money somehow. It’s also frustrating we can’t state our availability as sitters yet but this will hopefully become a feature in the new year (I work during the week so I am usually only available on a weekend evening). It’s helpful when we can set how much we charge, because for me if I know it’s just one child and they will likely be asleep for the majority of the evening i’m not going to charge their parents £14.70 an hour! Also if the sit is miles away from my location I will increase my hourly rate. All in all as a childcare provider I would recommend sitters! -- EJW1990, 2024-12-28 ### **--- "Payment conditions" Not sure what is going on with the payments. My sitter says that I’m paying her via app which I did not know and paid here again directly. If the payment is going automatically from my account- I never agreed to that or have I authorised anyone to do this -- Iospljduhek, 2024-12-20 ### **--- "Just plain poor" Freezes, issues with blocking my unavailability, and days to receive your payment, really in the days of instant money transfer, this really is very shoddy -- Rubyandlimpets, 2024-12-14 ### *---- "Dreadful" There are so many issues with the new app. The ‘availability’ page is still not available, I rarely get job offers which are in my area, confirmation of jobs take days to come through as does payment after completion of a job. The original system was so much better. -- Las307, 2024-12-14 ### *---- "Unhappy you got rid of the website" As a parent I hate having to use the app. It is a pain to book sitters and I prefer to just give cash. Don't understand why on earth you got rid of the website - I usually book 6-10 times a year and now I need another app in my phone to use sporadically. Have had to update it twice in the past 3 months when only booking 2 sitters! -- LondonLinds, 2024-12-07 ### *---- "Stressful" I for one was happy to see sitters.co.uk had developed an app, but how wrong I was. The website was basic but functioned perfectly, parents would put a job on there and usually within an hour or 2 would get a confirmation, and even better if it was one of your favourites, who had sat often, and the children were very comfortable with… Now the App roll out, we put bookings in for December birthday, Christmas parties, and wait and wait and wait without a booking. Dates fast approaching, still nothing. The one thing that made booking a sitters simple and stress free is now gone… Sitters have told me of the sheer nightmare they are having, getting spammed with alerts, and then having to bid lower and lower to win. No calendar functionality, stressed sitters, stressed parents…I don’t know what the thinking was, as all the goodwill and brand loyalty is evaporating right before your eyes. The only real value in the brand is the database of sitters, and the ease of booking them. Both of which are now gone…I’ve got an urgent booking, now only 2 days away ( booked 10 days ago) and still nothing??? Please come to your senses before it’s too late! -- Grunteruk, 2024-12-04 [View all Sitters Childcare reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Sitters Childcare Available In - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/united-kingdom) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/united-states) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/australia) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/ireland) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/netherlands) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/canada) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/united-arab-emirates) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/france) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/south-africa) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/switzerland) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/germany) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/spain) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/india) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/italy) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/new-zealand) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/saudi-arabia) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/belgium) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/nigeria) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/denmark) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/austria) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/hong-kong) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/greece) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/sitters-childcare-babysitters-fQOt/israel) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
