As a nanny working for 6 years with a job I found via this website, I have found this an excellent means of getting in touch with parents requiring a nanny. Found another job recently too. It is a pity they are closing their service at the end of April 2021!

I am very disappointed with find a babysitter website and FAIRFAX MEDIA. They are cheaters and money eaters. They have overcharged me while failing to provide a decent service. 3 months back in July - I took a 3 month membership. I did not get a single application. This is because their job renewal algorithms don't work properly. Even after my job was renewed it was not showing up to nannies in the area.

I emailed them requesting a refund. I got no response. However, they fixed my job post so I start getting some applications. However, it was too late as I had hired someone from another platform.

I gave up hoping I would get rid of them in September. 12 days ago (6 Sept) they sent me an email saying that my subscription is finished. I was happy and did not do anything.

2 days later I was charged $200 for the annual membership! I have been on a 3 month plan since last 2 years - using it on and off whenever needed. They upgraded me to 12 month, WITHOUT MY CONSENT and the money was deducted straight away from my account.

I am so shocked. I doubt emailing support is going to get any response.

My biggest mistake was not turning off automatic payments from my Paypal account.

Please avoid this website at all costs. There are many other good options out there.

(I have screenshots and proof of everything. Please feel free to email me on shyamashweta at gmail dot com if you need any evidence. This is a genuine review)

VERY UNFRIENDLY NOW, RECENTLY CHANGED WEBSITE!
Find a Babysitter has recently changed the website, and it's really difficult to navigate and unfriendly. They need to reassess the workings of the site and perhaps ask the users for input, I don't want to use it anymore. It's unfortunate as this previously was the best site for finding babysitters/nannies.

Find a Babysitter is easy to use and doesn't cost anything for nannies and babysitters to join. It is easy to search for a job based on postcode and on a full time or part time basis. They just need to fix up their pay guidelines for parents which are currently unrealistic. And say that nannies start at $12/hour!

findababysitter.com.au has more than experience to take all responsibilities and care for the little babies. they helped me to take an important meeting which can impossible to be done on time without the ultimate efforts of the "findababysitter.com.au".
always prefer them for further help.

I currently use find a babysitter service as a babysitter/nanny. I have been using it for 8 years, and have had so many great babysitting jobs. I like how parents can leave feedback about you on your profile. Now that I have moved, I am hoping to get a few other permanent jobs.

I am currently listed on find a babysitter as a babysitter/ nanny. I found this the best website out of all the babysitter/ nanny websites I tried (including we need a nanny, babysitters and more, chore heroes and babysitters and more).
It costs nothing to register as a babysitter/ nanny and any messages you receive from interested parents also get sent to your email you have registered with, which is handy as I don't log on everyday. Also it doesn't fill your inbox with unnecessary spam every time a new job is listed!
