We were using this site in Northern VA to find a good sitter. We had to subscribe (no one time option) to communicate with potential sitters. At first the candidate pool seemed promising but then we found that most profiles are dated several years with no way for us to filter who is an active user. Of the 4 individuals we were able to get in contact with two were no shows after agreeing to come and one had a criminal record (found her multiple arrest records via Google search). One candidate did work out for us however she had just turned 15 and had to return to high school the following week. We ended up hiring an aupair after this nightmare search but we're reminded of the site again when we got charged the monthly fee. I promptly contact the site the same day the charge posted indicating that we don't use the site or need the month of service. But they did not honor my refund request.

In summary, it is a rip off site charging users for access to its mostly outdated and inactive candidate pool.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid paying for their the sites service. Run your own background checks. Have a backup plan even if a candidate agrees to babysit.
