While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Babysits is a website for the safe allocation of Babysitters, childminders and Nannie’s to families who have children that need looking after while their parents are at work. It is a well structured website and is very safe to use.

Impossible to get hired

It's genuinely so hard to get hired as a babysitter. No one responds, it's like I'm talking to robots

The worst app ever

The worst app ever. They charge so much just to message a sitter, but the app and website never work. It's always showing '404 error', no matter what you do, what device you use or where you are. A waste of my time. They need to shut down as soon as possible.

Poor service

Poor service - Even after paying for premium they don't let you use the account you paid for unless you continue to pay them month by month.

After cancelling service they don't let you use any of the functionality of the site despite having paid for it.

Unauthorised subscription

I signed up to the subscription so I could find a baby sitter. I didn’t find one. I then cancelled the subscription. Babysits had other ideas and continued to charge me monthly. I did not realise and I am now fighting to get my money back for a service that I didn’t use.

Bare faced lies, false advertising in order to exploit desperate parents for money.

Advertised available childminders in our local area with details expressing availability as requested. Required monthly subscription fee. We paid the subscription fee only to find they had no available personnel within our area and none within the wider region that fulfilled the details we provided. Disgusting behaviour, taking advantage of desperate new parents looking for someone to look after their child.
