Sitters has taken 21 payments from me of approx. £14-15 since 2021 and I haven’t used them. I would like this money back please as I haven’t authorised these payments.

Thank you for the 5 star review 💙
Great Experience for our 2 and 4 yr. Olds!
Our family used this service while visiting London and we couldn’t recommend it enough. The process was incredibly easy and we were always paired with an amazing sitter very soon following our requests - and we had a couple last minute ones too! Everyone that watched our two kids was amazing.

Thank you for your review, Eleanor. It's great to hear that your children have been so happy with the sitters they have met.
Sneaky underhand payment methods
Sneaky.
Charge you. Not every month for you to notice but every 3.
No receipts
No emails to say payments are coming up
Nothing
Except depleting your bank account little by little and hoping you don’t notice.
Shame on these tactics being used in 2024.

Took the stress of booking emergency childcare
Peace of mind for parents being able to see prospective babysitters prev experience, DBS checks and parent reviews. Easy to sign up and request a babysitter. Requested in the evening for a babysitter for the next day and got a reply within an hour. Took the stress out of booking emergency childcare.
