Hi everyone,
has anyone ever heard of or used sittercity.com? I did hear that the free trial isn't really free, but other than that that's it. Please let me know, I'm thinking of giving them a try. Thanks
I checked into it not so long ago. I have a 14 yr old and I was thinking of getting someone on board to get to know us and our daughter so that I could eventually go on an overnight trip with hubby.
I never paid anything for the free trial. I did receive responses to my request. A college aged girl would have been perfect.
Personally, I got completely turned off and I deleted my request when 2 men (one of which was 42 on his profile) sent me emails stating availability to watch my daughter overnight.
Now, I'm not saying they are bad men...but red flags go off in my head when an older man wants to babysit my young teen, especially overnight.
Just be wary....
When our daughter was a baby, we used AAA sitters and had a few very good grandmotherly type sitters. We settled on 1 and she was a part of our lives for about 4 years.

My 21 year old college age daughter is a sitter on sittercity.com and has gotten several jobs through the site. Fortunately, she has not had any improper contacts. I listed my email address as the contact address; therefore, all correspondence goes through me first and then I alert her. But, all in all, we've have a good experience from the sitter's side of the service.
I know that's not what you were looking for; but, it's a positive experience with the site.
