Pros
You make your own schedule on the app. They don’t hold you to hours. Family can treat you very nice by buying you lunch, paying for an Uber home or tipping. You don’t have to be standing all day long, sometimes you don’t have the parents watching you.
Cons
Families are not held to certain standards. You can babysit in a very messy house, the company doesn’t advocate for you such as letting families know how to appreciate their sitters. Pay is so low- minimum wage- which is pretty bad for taking care of kids. Families are used to seeing different sitters all the time so you won’t be treated that special if you don’t try in your job. Some families are cheap. Even if you do put all your effort and attention to kids they won’t care because they want cheap caregivers. It really is a bad job if you’re looking to Be treated like an actual babysitter. Sitters make $20 but I guess they get you with connecting you with different families. Overall if you like babysitting, truly, you will like this job bc they work w your schedule.
