Bubble for Sitters 4+

This app has been fantastic for me to build my career at my own pace and it gives me the flexibility to network with new clients and amazing families. It’s extremely safe and secure. Everyone is vetted to the highest standards. It allows clear communication between everyone and offers in house support when needed. I have recommended so many of my friends to download whether they’re parents or looking for work. I absolutely Love Love Love this app! I can see negative reviews regarding the payment charges however , the amount of work I have had from the App covers the fees I pay and the 25% is only a one time fee for every new client. The only negative i would say is that you have to have a regular amount of clients per month to keep your “super sitter” title - with the amount of babysitters / Nannie’s using the app it is becoming harder to get jobs so it isn’t easy to keep the super sitter title which is a little disheartening especially when you have 100% positive reviews and have stayed loyal to the App. It would be nice to be recognised for that. Having said that Bubble was a great way for me to network and I think it’s great for parents to find a trustworthy person for their precious babies.

We're so glad to hear that you've been able to build up your network through Bubble and have enjoyed doing so. Great to have you here in the Bubble community 😊 Team Bubble

I’ve been using Bubble for a few years and cannot fault the app or the team behind the service. The app is extremely user friendly and easy to use and far exceeds others on the market. Bubble isn’t only my favourite (and now my only) babysitting platform but I far prefer it to any other job-related apps for other casual work such as pet-care or tutoring. In my experience Bubble has been the safest and easiest to use platform, and despite recently increasing their platform fees the fees are still very low compared to similar services on the market - and you are insured on all bookings through the app for free! Wether you're new to babysitting or an experienced childcare provider, I highly recommend Bubble for parents and sitters.

Thanks so much for your lovely review. We're so happy to hear how Bubble has helped you! Team Bubble

I’ve been using this app for very long time, done over 150 sitting. It has been great, but with the recent increased of fees for sitter is getting hard. It feels they only care about the parent side and not really the worker. It’s absurd that they now charge 25% of the total sitting to the sitter but the parent fee is ridiculous cheap.
Parent can cancel last minute and the cancellation fee is peanuts, on top the sitter has to pay 3.5% for the cancellation payment transaction. Why on earth the sitter has to pay??? I got a last minute cancellation, the sitting was suppose to be £72 but they charged the family £18. On this £18 I need to pay 3.5%. I’m not able to replace the sitting as it was last minute cancellation.
But if a sitter cancel last minute they could suspend your account.
I do understand the fee and till recently I found it quite fair, but now it’s too high where it should increase for parent as they are looking for a service and no the other way around.

Hi there, we just wanted to clear up any confusion about the new fees - it's actually only your first sit with a new family that would be charged at 20-25%, and all your future sits together are significantly lower! It's best to see this as an introductory fee - we really want to encourage and reward long term relationships with families that you meet through Bubble. This fee covers the cost of sending the payment over to you - please note that we put this forced cancellation payment from parents in place to protect your income on these bookings as we really value the commitment that you make to the sit. If you'd like to discuss this at all with our team, please reach out to us at support@joinbubble.com 💜
