I love sitter city. It just seems like the jobs are very easy to get and the babysitters want to work. On the other hand I am not to great about care for hire. It’s like the parents post jobs up to see how many responses they can get and the babysitters are not serious. I give sitter city 5 stars care for hire 1 star.
