Sitter.com Tried to get a sitter job with one of the clients listed

My reason I canceled & deleted my sitter.com account is apparently what most people are saying from what I’m reading, who signed up for the basic plan. Very misleading to say the least. When I received my first message from my first & only potential sitter client, I went to reply back and it said, “You’ve reached the Basic Plan message limit. Upgrade to continue conversation”, which was BS and absolutely incorrect! I only reached out to ONE person, who was also the ONLY one who replied back to my ONE message. The client wanted me to contact/message him back so we could set-up a time to meet his wife & child and I wasn’t able to reply back in a timely manner because of sitter.com’s purposely calculated platform / glitch of a system. Very misleading and falsely advertised. What a shame for the client who’s looking for a sitter!

Desired outcome: Nothing!

Sitter.com Warning: My Experience with Sitter.com - Be Careful Who You Trust

I gotta tell ya, Sitter.com ain't all it's cracked up to be. I mean, sure, there's a lot of sitters on there, but you gotta be careful who you trust. I made the mistake of trusting Rose McCarthy, Nicole B, and Rose Macanto, and let me tell you, it was a big mistake. They all tried to scam me with some story about moving and paying me $400 out of $1400. Yeah right, like I'm gonna fall for that. I reported them right away, and I'm reporting this whole site too.

But even if you do find a legit job on Sitter.com, there's still a chance it could go wrong. I found a job with this guy who turned out to be a total pervert. He was always griping me in front of his daughter, and it made me really uncomfortable. I mean, I'm just trying to make some extra cash, not deal with some creep.

So yeah, if you're thinking about using Sitter.com, just be careful. Don't trust anyone who seems too good to be true, and always trust your gut. And if something does go wrong, don't be afraid to report it. It's better to be safe than sorry, ya know?

Sitter.com Beware of Sketchy Sitter on Sitter.com: A Review

Yo, so I was looking for a sitter for my little ones and stumbled upon Sitter.com. I gotta say, it's pretty dope. I found a lady in Bellport, NY who was advertising her babysitting and nanny services out of her crib. But here's the thing, her crib is in a sketchy area and her own kid is a bit of a troublemaker. Apparently, he bites and hits other kids. Not cool, man.

But get this, the lady takes snap chat videos and pics of your kids and claims they're bipolar or some [censored]. Like, what the hell? That's not cool at all. So I did some digging and found out that other peeps have had similar experiences with her. So, I'm wondering who the hell investigated her?

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this lady to anyone. But Sitter.com itself seems legit. Just gotta be careful who you choose to watch your little ones, ya know?

Sitter.com Disappointing Experience with Sitter.com: Beware of Scammers and Fake Profiles

Sitter.com is a website that I recently used to find babysitting jobs. I was excited to start working and was happy to receive four messages from parents looking for a sitter. However, my excitement quickly turned into frustration when I realized that all four messages were from scammers. Each message had the same story about the parent moving close to where I live and using cancer as one of their issues. It was obvious that these messages were not genuine and were just a waste of my time.

I was disappointed with the site and the lack of security measures in place to prevent these types of scams. It is frustrating to spend time responding to messages only to find out that they are not legitimate. I would not recommend using Sitter.com as it seems to attract a lot of scammers and fake profiles.

Overall, my experience with Sitter.com was a waste of time and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a babysitting job. The site needs to improve its security measures and do a better job of screening its users to prevent these types of scams.

Sitter.com Negative Experience with Sitter.com: Unpaid Wages and Theft by Client in San Pedro, CA

I recently had an experience with Sitter.com and it was not a good one. I was hired by a mother of two in San Pedro, California named Nizira Ingles. I worked for her for 13 hours and was only paid $40. To make matters worse, $60 went missing from my wallet while I was at her house and she did not refund me for it. It was a terrible experience and I would not recommend working for her.

On top of that, there was no food in the house for the kids to eat. It was a difficult situation and I tried to help as much as I could, but in the end, I was the one who got screwed over. It's important to be cautious when working with people you don't know, especially when it comes to payment and trust.

Overall, my experience with Sitter.com was not a positive one. I hope that others can learn from my experience and be careful when working with new clients. It's important to protect yourself and your finances, and to always be aware of your surroundings.

Sitter.com Sitter.com Review: Disappointing Experience and Concerns About Legitimacy

I signed up for Sitter.com about a year ago, hoping to find a job as a sitter. I even reached out to inquire about a job, but unfortunately, I never received a response. I was disappointed and frustrated, especially after reading some negative reviews about the site. I decided not to spend any money on the site, as I was unsure if it was a legitimate platform.

It's disheartening to think that a website that promotes job opportunities could potentially be a scam. As someone who is struggling financially, I cannot afford to pay for a job. It's just not feasible for me. I wish Sitter.com would consider asking for payment only after a sitter has completed a couple of jobs. That way, we could be sure that the site is legitimate and that we are not wasting our time and money.

Overall, I am disappointed with my experience on Sitter.com. I hope that the site can improve and become a more reliable platform for sitters and parents alike.

Sitter.com Sitter.com Review: Disappointing Experience and Double Charges

Sitter.com ain't all that great, to be honest. We were lookin' for someone to take care of our little ones, but only one person showed up for an interview. The job was easy, flexible, and paid well, but still only one person showed up. She worked for a few days, but then disappeared without a trace. She even took our housekey with her!

We decided to cancel our subscription with sitter.com after that. But guess what? They charged us twice for the automated fee even though we cancelled. What a ripoff!

My advice? Don't bother with sitter.com. Find yourself a real babysitter the old-fashioned way.

Sitter.com Unhappy and Wasted Time: My Experience with a Greedy Caregiver Website

This website is a place where you can talk to families for free if you want to be a caregiver. But when you want to set a time to meet, they make your messages blurry and make you pay a lot of money to be a member. As a caregiver, I don't like how greedy they are. I've been approached by scammers and strange people many times, and customer support never helped me. This website is not good, and you will feel unhappy and like you wasted your time if you use it.

Sitter.com Beware of Scams: My Experience with Sitter.com

that people still try to pull these kinds of scams.

I recently signed up for Sitter.com to find a babysitter for my kids. The website was easy to navigate and I was able to find a few potential sitters in my area. I messaged a few of them and received responses fairly quickly.

One sitter, named Sarah, stood out to me. She had great reviews from other parents and seemed very experienced. We set up a time for her to come over and meet my kids. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My kids loved her and I felt comfortable leaving them with her.

Sarah has been our go-to sitter ever since. She's always on time and my kids love spending time with her. I highly recommend Sitter.com for anyone looking for a reliable babysitter. Just be sure to do your research and don't fall for any scams!

Sitter.com Beware of Sitter.com and Careguide.com Scam: Protect Yourself and Report to FTC

Don't use Sitter.com or Careguide.com. Check out what other people have said about them. These companies are part of a bigger group. They want you to pay for a subscription. They will ask for your credit card details. But all the messages you get will be from people like AMY CANDICE. They are trying to trick you into doing something illegal. These companies and the people who run them should be punished. I told the Federal Trade Commission about them. You should too. Let's stop them from doing this to other people.

Sitter.com Beware of Scammers on Sitter.com: My Experience and Warning

So, I had an experience with Sitter.com that I wanted to share. I received a message from a lady who was interested in my services. She mentioned that she was deaf and couldn't call me, so she texted me instead. She was moving from Ohio and needed me to run some errands for her. She said she would send me a check for $2250 and I was supposed to keep my fee of $400 for the week before. That meant I would be getting $400 per week.

At first, I was excited about the opportunity, but then I started to get skeptical. I talked to a friend about it and we decided to look at some reviews of Sitter.com. To my surprise, we found several stories that were similar to mine. That's when I decided to delete my account on the site.

I just want to warn others to be careful when using Sitter.com. It's not a safe place to be hooking up with sitters or nannies. Always do your research and trust your instincts.

I cancelled my membership with Sitter.Com. Yet they refuse to honor my cancellation and still treat me as a member. I had to contact my credit card company to stop them from charging me the monthly fee. Despite that they are still forwarding sitter emails to me.
