Bubble for Sitters

The app is useful for connecting with parents and finding babysitting opportunities, but there are some aspects that could be improved. For instance, while parents can shortlist sitters, they are unable to share their contact information for interviews within the app’s messaging system, which can create unnecessary barriers to communication. Additionally, the platform’s fee structure is somewhat inconsistent—rather than applying the 25% fee to the actual first confirmed sit (based on time and date), it is charged on whichever booking is confirmed first. While the app serves as a helpful tool, it’s clear that its policies are designed to maximize revenue from both parents and sitters rather than prioritizing user convenience.

For me this app won’t even let me choose my birth date it’s not useful and don’t download it

The app is very dynamic, it seems to have a big database of sitters and families. On the other hand it needs to improve in the following 1. App doesn’t learn your preferences. You have to decline over & over requests that are far away from you or that doesn’t apply to your experience. 2. Requests should not appear when it is 30 minutes to start, you need time to travel. 3. It is time consuming as it sends texts of new requests and it shows again sits that you have declined one hour ago! 4. Fees are high for sitters 10% first time/family. Considering a payment of £7.00 minus fees and transport, you will have to accept all kind of jobs in order to be profitable for you. 5. There should be a fee incremental for the number of children, as tasks is exponentially heavier. 6. Some families want to treat sitters as housekeepers or nurses, the sitter job needs to be clarified on the app rules.
