Below are actual user feedback that we found on Sittercity.

Positive Sittercity Review

"I've hired 2 nannies in the last 4 years and the last one I hired through SitterCity.com. A few of the questions I always ask are related to their background and experience. You can tell whether their "style" will be a good fit for your family based on what they've done before. I like to make sure that they are CPR and First Aid certified. I have a daughter with a nut allergy and it just makes me feel more secure. As one of the other ladies said, ask them how they handle discipline issues and share with them your approach. After all of the background checks and reference checking you can also do a test run with them to see how it works. I love doing that! "

"I found a part-time nanny on sittercity and so far, so good. Although you have to pay to post a job, I will tell you that I was overwhelmed with the amount of applicants, at least where I live. Good luck!"

Positive Sittercity Review

"LOVE sittercity. I've found all my sitters thru the site. It's a great place to meet girls in college or in their 20s and not being paid much (and therefore desperate to work.) I'm SAHM so the students that need flexible schedules works great for me. You can easily vet them from their appearances and bios. I also always do the background check as well. Never had a bad experience. (Plus it's fun to see what the young are up to these days....)."

Positive Sittercity Review

"SitterCity, for example, offers 40 criteria from which parents can choose, including whether the sitter smokes, knows certain languages, or is available on holidays (New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day are the most popular)." The sites provide contact info, references and, as with sellers on eBay, feedback from other sitter seekers on specific sitters' quality of care."

Negative Sittercity Review

"... I did find someone and used her for a day. She wasn't that great. But, it's not the fault of the service and it connected me to many qualified sitters, this girl included. I will use it again and am hoping to find someone better next time around."

Positive Sittercity Review

"I used Sittercity when I moved to Frankfort because we knew no one. I was apprehensive at first but it was my only way to find a sitter. I met the most wonderful gal. She still sits for me - it's been over a year. We emailed a few times, met for an interview (we did it at my house but she (sitter) said that she's done it in public places....you never know about people) and she was hired. I would recommend Sittercity for finding your next sitter. Good luck."

Positive Sittercity Review

"Sittercity.com has been a great resource for me (Boston area). I've found three really dependable sitters over the last 18mo. They also have rate calculators based on your zipcode and with the ability to fill in details like number of kids watched, first aid certified, etc. There is also an area with interview questions and checklists."

Positive Sittercity Review

"I used it to find my nanny/babysitter. She is AMAZING!! Sittercity will also provide background checks. Most of the applicants will already have applied for a background check when you view their profile. I appreciated that. And there's information about CPR certifications, etc... I would highly recommend it. You'll likely get a ton of replies (I did), but it's relatively easy to weed people out just based on how they respond to you ..."

Positive Sittercity Review

"...  the site seems to have reached critical mass in my area and many great local college students post their sitter profiles. During the summer, tons of students home for the summer posted profiles as well. Add to this local nannies who are willing to sit when kids are in school during the day or on weekends and Sittercity opens up a world of sitting choices I wouldn’t have found otherwise ..."

Positive Sittercity Review

"The first sitter we met could not be a better fit for what we needed: she’s personable, professional (she’s actually an elementary school teacher) and loves kids. She’s not so young that we’re worried about leaving her with all three kids, and she’s been incredibly responsive. Our house was actually cleaner when we got home than when we left. That’s nutty.So… if you haven’t already given Sittercity a try, head on over there ... I couldn’t be more impressed with the site."

Positive Sittercity Review

"I used their service when we lived in the Cleveland area with no family in the area. I really liked it and found some good sitters. A little pricey but considering they are watching our kids very worth the piece of mind. Liked you could see their majors if they're in college, interests, etc. Hope that helps."

Positive Sittercity Review

"... With all that being said, I LOVE sitter city. I have found all of my full-time nannies on there and also part-time nannies and weekend night out babysitters on there and love all of them. You do have to do your own interviewing/reference checking like someone else said vs. a nanny service, but it is a lot more cost effective ..."

Negative Sittercity Review

"I've been on the fence about sittercity a long time now because it looks so amazing ... but paying to have access to sitters that I'm paying is weird. I'm not saying they should provide the service for free, far from it, it's just a personal thing."

Positive Sittercity Review

"As a parent of two children I can proudly admit I am an avid member (4 years) of Sittercity. Every babysitter I’ve had in the past 4 years has come from this fantastic website. It provides every piece of information a parent would request in a babysitter: age, proximity to your home, transportation, language options, certifications, experience, references, etc. ... Thanks for providing this life altering website."

Positive Sittercity Review

"This web site is for anyone looking for sitters, nannies, pet help, elder care assistance, house sitters or tutors. You can rate a sitter and give feed back or read up on the person that you’re considering for hire and find out if they also do light housekeeping or can speak more than one language. Truly a terrific resource when you’re new to an area and haven’t yet joined your local pool."

"I love sittercity.com. That is where I found our nanny. She has been with us now for a little over a year. My daughter just adores her too. She is great with her. I would recommend it to everyone who needs a babysitter or nanny. In fact my bosses wife it the one who recommended it to me. The only thing you need to remember is to interview that is how you know what you are getting."

Positive Sittercity Review

"After a couple misses, I've started to find a lot of promising local sitters on www.sittercity.com. For parents, it costs 10 bucks a month, or about $100 for a year membership to use the site. It's well worth it. I've wasted a lot of time on craigslist, getting zero response to my ad, and never hearing back from most of the people I reached out to."

"SitterCity is like an Amazon.com for finding babysitters. Not only are you likely to find what you're looking for, you're likely to find more than you'll ever need. The testimonials that other parents leave on the profiles of the babysitters they've used are the most powerful benefit of SitterCity."

"As a working mom and manager of employees, hiring a nanny is the single toughest position I've ever had to hire for. I've had the best luck with sittercity.com."

Positive Sittercity Review

"Why as a mama of two do I like the "no kids" rule? I appreciate the bride and groom making the decision for me. All I have to do is find a caretaker for my children while I dance the night away with my husband. Depending on the location, relatives or family babysitters have watched the tots. In rare cases, I have used care services like Sittercity to provide me a nanny ..."

Positive Sittercity Review

"... I was a member of SitterCity last year and we used the service many times, with mostly amazing success. Even the sitters we did not consider a rousing success never made us feel that we were bad for leaving our kids with them, we just knew there were better sitters out there for us ..."

"I had a good experience with Sittercity. I put out one ad and receive a ton of e-mails so I felt I could be really picky about who I chose. You do have to check references but wouldn't you do that anyways? We are moving and I plan to use Sittercity again when I need a new nanny."

Positive Sittercity Review

"We found our occasional sitter through sittercity b/c we really didn't know anyone with kids to ask.... I believe (this was last summer) that I posted a "job ad" and got some replies. Looked at what the replies were and I picked one gal who lived nearby to check up on. I called her references and they were good. We met with her at our local coffee shop, I had a nice chat with her and my son met her. I had good vibes all around and we've been very pleased with her. She's our "go to" person at this point (though we don't go out that much)."

Positive Sittercity Review

"... So, I went back to sittercity to find a temporary for the summer. Ended up finding a graduate child psych student living in my town who was interning as a teaching assistant at one of the elementary schools. She did a great job as a temporary and we continue to use her as a weekly tutor and occasional sitter."
